The Elements Of War

just a little something that came to mind

 

Gods of War rule the sky with thundering agendas

Causing cracks in the floor of heaven

That brings on the lightening quick missiles

That scorches the innocents of mother earth.

Thankfully there are plenty of angels,

Many from the battle itself,

To cool her surface with their tears.

Still the scars will forever burn

In the core of a billion hearts.

Another wonderful piece. I really enjoyed this, especially the lines:
"To cool her surface with their tears.
Still the scars will forever burn"
I like the metaphor you have used here.
War causing pain, innocents being killed, angels aka soldiers trying to take care of things, the damage will already be done though. Atleast that is what I'm getting from it. Love it.

Couldn't help but picture a brilliant meteor shower while reading this, with Mars in the background. And the moon to serve a mediator. Another Excellent piece of your poetic art!

so many elements to war... it brings me down to me knees. the scars do forever burn and the angels have offered their comfort. thank you for writing this, its important for us to remember that we are all in this together.

Scars do indeed forever burn, a message that needs to heard so people will think before they act on any level. And all angels aren't necessarily of the supernatural kind; we all can "cool the surface" if we care to. Excellent write! Very descriptive in getting your point across.

War's whether it be in heaven, hell or on earth always leave breaking hearts. This is a great write attestting to that fact.
"Still the scars will forever burn
