• Battle of Brothers


    Across the field of blood and bodies,
    two men fight with swords in hand.
    Both men fighting for their country,
    both have reasons to kill a man.

    Neither man knows his opponent's thoughts,
    for if they did, would they still be fighting?

    Each wears a mask to hide their fear,
    all the while their blades are clashing.
    Unknown to one, a tragedy arises,
    for now a blade pierces through his flesh.

    As the life leaves his eyes, the one still standing,
    cradles his brother within his arms.

    The one left crying, now takes his blade.
    slitting his throat and joins his brother.
