Battlefield!
By Lady Poetry
Battlefield!
Strewn across the battlefield a party of discarded heads,
Peeled, dripping as blood oranges,
Wrapped in a residue of wrinkled skin,
A murder of crows circle over head,
Waiting to collect rich pickings,
Leftover lunch from the spoils of war!
Stench of evil fills the dirty air,
As a lone piper,
Plays his mournful lament of sorrow,
Deeply disturbed by unkind vision of sin!

Have you been listening to Black Sabbath? These lyrics remind me somewhat of the tone/lyrics to "War Pigs", though this is a unique work that stands on its own merits. 10
