Disasters of War
There was a devastating wave
Above the pool of red sludge
Made of sharp carpenter's nails
Rising against the black skies
Metal flung around the landscape
Like flecks of paint on a canvas
A manifestation of mechanical death
The future gets swallowed
With a cold efficiency,
The present starts to mourn
Ruthless indeterminacy.
In times of bloodshed,
There aren't any victors.
