Everlasting Scars

Mud – trodden grass – a picturesque disaster

In the eyes of a demon.

Razed trees – dead corpses – lying

In the arms of death

Cushioned with grasses.

Arms – arms laden with dirt

Worms – decaying leaves.

Marks – marks in the dirt

Of war machines and hooves. 

War – a demon’s puppet to its means

An enemy to humanity

And nature itself.

Humans – temporary losses suffered in

Time’s eyes – but – an eternity

Should the same scars be effaced

From the earth.
