Sky

The sky is war.

It's beautiful only to gaze upon, 

But when you join in,

You'll hear;

                      the crackle of thunder and of smoke-cloud dancing grenades,

                 the sizzling of skin and of bone-deep piercing rounds, 

           the stuttering of breadth and of lung-leech paralyzing masks, 

      the groaning of death and of bio-bomb creeping phosphorus

If you run,

As the fear shivers and scatters your spine, 

You'll stumble,

You'll fall and flail, 

Splattering onto the reality that is ground.
