Kingdoms of the Insanity

By Cody Wong

By CodyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Kingdoms fought battles

wars wage on

with exhaustion,

the downfall of many

lives lost

tortured in the heat of battle

spiked on pikes

that follow a trail of dripping heads.

Armor and vanity

gave into their insanity,

fatigue minds

felt discombobulated by the

sweated tears and the bloodied

corpses that drench

the battlefield.

Surrendering gave no hope,

instantly priest and healers

attempt to save wounded souls,

that perish; remain

of parts and entrails

from battle, while a king plays folly

with a lack of a loyal army,

furthering more men to

their deaths than any

peace or any sense of morality.

sad poetry
