Cattle to Slaughter

 


Torn limbs

blown to hell when the cannons ring

shown the meaning of everything 

bloodletting on dead lands

sun setting where the undead stand

was this part of their master plan

does oil run red through guilty hands

 

Something in the way the sun coats the ground

bleaches in bloody tones,

beaches littered with old bones

where once we stood united

now the towels have been thrown

red like the fields of poppies that grow

 

Herded through like cattle to slaughter

young souls on a march through hells backwaters

a war fought in dishonour

to stop them from questioning

why it is that they are given such orders

is it because money seeps through these borders

 

Tourniquet won't stem the bleeding

life all too fleeting

wounds festering, parasites feed on blistered skin

they lick their lips at death and pain

they can't contain their joy

at a bullet to an innocent brain

 

 

Thanks For Reading,

Peace, Love and Poetry.
