Slight

Lust for wealth’s luminosity…
 Both lights & fuels atrocity.

Brightness flushes with energy.
Rousing all from their lethargy.

A cry pops tension; battle call.
Come, all get none & one gets all.

Rattling clattering soldier’s drum.
Bugle reveille; charge to chum.

Berserkers claiming first blood drawn.
Hot gushing crimson rubicon.

Warring devolves into melee.
Tight knitted knotted flesh display.

These writhing masses thinning quick.
Mortal men lost to sharpened sticks.

Bodies, wood, blades, fire & rifles.
Death dealt for a rearview’s trifle.
