The Art of War
By LOKI
A warriors hands are always red
with the color of blood
from those he makes dead
A battlefield his playground
the game he plays is death
The rules are simple
kill them all
The Art of War
at its best
Its all or nothing
last man standing
Only the strong survive
His concience has faded
his heart it is empty
This is the way
he must live his life
Its a never ending story
its a never ending battle
its a never ending road
that leads to nowhere
Men fight for glory
led to slaughter like cattle
Their deaths unexposed
and so no one cares

Its a nice fantasy but fairly uneducated. . . no offense meant but there is volumes more to being a warrior than a simple "kill or be killed" style of thinking. . .and a battlefield is not governed by simply one rule. . and especially not one rule "kill them all". . .I'm not saying war isn't romanticized in films, books and games because I know it is. . .I'm just saying your interpretation is a little bit off the mark is all. . .but it does rhyme and i do enjoy rhyming poetry!
