Stalemate

The ground shakes beneath their feet

Weary armies march forward to meet

After thundering attack upon attack

Both sides, for days, are forced back

Neither to concede for sake of soldiers

Commanders feel weight upon shoulders

The insanity of war is displayed here

As the outcome is already blatantly clear

So many have given their lives in vain

So many have experienced much pain

Neither side will be intact to hold territory

Neither side comes away with any glory

This has become nothing but madness

This is where there's only grief and sadness

Why does savage butchery have to be ?

What ever happened to love for humanity ?
