War

Down comes the rain and the smell of the ground

As it patters down softly without another sound

We part in body alone for our hearts drift with the clouds

The sky awakening in tremulous light

And gunshots firing to give quite a fright

The smoke filled the air, oh what a sight, how cruel to think of humanities blight

Not a creature could care, nor the tree's unmoving and the sun's glare.

No one would care neither bird nor tree,

If I fell to the ground and perished utterly

Just another body lost to the tides of war

Stealing fragments of memory, and looking up to the stars

Blinking moments pass, as I breath the scorching air

Not a creature could care, nor the tree's unmoving, and the sun's glare.

And nature herself when she woke at dawn...would barely notice that I was gone.
