Untamed Fury
In arteries wedged with a clot
Countries rumble, feeling a slight
Passions bottled throughout the night
It bundles into great big knots
Collectively there is a roar
Threats must be answered, time for war
Burning tissues no matter what
The armies mass, the soldiers train
The country bleeds red drops of rain
Till it breaks through the weakest spot
A tinder box, waiting for fire
A deadline ticks down to the wire
Anger rises, so quick and hot
The first shot sounds, cracks like a whip
The armies move, now well equipped
Spewing venom, taking cheap shots
They rage across the land and sea
Hatred boiling and now set free
And left unchecked all life it rots
But what remains when battle ends
A decimated land to tend
