War

Foxx Kincaid

The innocence cried as more soldiers died.
Suffering from death, taking their last breath.
Marching on the ground was the only sound.
The suffering heard... with every unspoken word.

"Kill them," they would yell,
Heaven turned to Hell.
Fighting to show their power.
Helpless screams every hour.

Why should there be war?
