a victorless war
horns blow
like a clock
chiming at midnight
the battlefield is gray
on this colorless day
a war has begun
but it won't be won
for some battles have no victor
only death's cruel kill.
the swords clash
like a holiday toast
and the guns they blaze
like a fire's hissing roast.
the rain it falls
like a glorious hail
it pelts armies like reminders
that this fight
is to no avail.
