Divide And Conquer

castle_on_fire.jpg

Let’s go to war:

Take up arms,

Aim for the core,

Ring all alarms,

Ready your ammo,

Build your fences,

Prepare for woe,

Gather all defenses,

Use words as blades,

Make actions bullets;

Can either be saved?

Honestly we shouldn’t

But blood’s been drawn

And scars take over

All before dawn;

No sign of closure.

Brick by brick,

Blow by blow,

Ever so quick,

Stones are thrown,

Shots are fired,

Cover is taken;

We’re both wired

As we’re forsaken.

Upon the battlefield,

Amongst the wreckage,

Neither of us yield,

Clear is the message.

A storm rages,

Both inside and out,

Traps in cages,

No room for doubt.

Love taken hostage,

Anger given control

As it spreads carnage;

Winning is the goal.

Hurt gets to reign,

A crown of thorns,

Neither side wanes;

Hearts are scorned,

Egos are bruised,

Beliefs are wounded,

Powers were misused

Then all was ruined;

Heaven turned to Hell,

Amity turned to anarchy,

The castle walls fell;

A handmade tragedy.

More lost than gained,

Ending in a stalemate,

Both have been drained,

We’ll call it checkmate.
