The Four Horsemen

War

I didnt mean to cut too deep.

I didnt mean to die.

But I also didn't mean to revive again.

Neither do I want to hold

the power that separates

me from all.

I am War,

one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I bring relief to pain,

and also to sorrow.

But too, I bring

with my brothers,

the end of all.

Do not fear me,

for I am not a destroyer,

unlike Death,

who will bring a stop to life.

War and peace,

both different, but

not completely opposite.

In this world of yours,

you will never find peace,

or satisfaction.

Thus I bring peace,

in a way only few would

understand, though

many people expect

different things.

They expect me to destroy

but they don't know

that destroying isnt just

killing the weak

but the strong too.

So I ride my

fiery red steed,

setting things on fire,

leaving a blazing trail behind me.

The war has just begun.
