Author's Notes

Written for thegrumpydruid's character Joeseph.

War


The God of nations is also a God of war

You learned the meaning of that word cowering behind fences

Their voices scream, but their corpses scream louder

For this cannot be earth, this must be hades

The color of blood lives in his eyes, and through him you learn true pain

Through him you know what it is to be torn apart

What must you do?

Kiss the hand that feeds you

Take the blade that hurts you

For if cruelty is what is given, cruelty you will become

They say that you are a monster, the cold bullet of the earth

But perhaps you are not at blame

Perhaps you are only a product of the soil you sprouted from
