A warriors sword

By DeepLoversPoet

Knee deep in bloody war.
The battle of ages fought for day's.
Warriors spud all over the land. 
Leave them bloody and battered for the tongs of hell.
Leave them to be eaten by the earth below.
Hell hath nothing but fury
licking up the leftovers of war.
Death stands above them
bowing to no one but the dead.

No more fighting, leave them where they fall.
Oh mighty death keep them warm inside your belly.
Teach them their lessons of fear and doubt
make them knowing you deeper still. 
Let them fear their own doubt.
Hell hath no fury like a warriors sword. 
Strong and mighty a warrior stands 
does not matter if his death is at hand.

    so true, for some reason i get the image of Vikings spreading battle for death to over see the carnage left by war. i feel sadness for death, for he carries the cries and the bodies to their demise. i think its depressing to have such a responsibility. war is not a time to reap, its a time to greive. for this mighty angel comes with open arms and holds no judgement. he ends the suffering and escorts you to a final resting. to me, war is not the occasion for him, its caring for the dead. this provoked a different chord in me. im a lover of death, and all its beauty. this is a really good poem, you did a great job with it. and sorry i went off in a tangent. but i thought it was relevant to your thoughts. awesome!

    I think we are all warriors fighting the battle of life and like you said death is just a helping hand waiting for us on the other side to guide and practiced us on our journey to the afterlife.

    Not at all... even if they die, their bad karma remains. There will never be any peace... DESTROY!
