The Game

Darkness falls with light betwixt
Lives are lost, emotions mixed
Some will fight and some will pay
Battle ends today

Guns are drawn as bodies roll
Tanks on standby, planes patrol
Bombs are dropped and mines are lain
All civilians slain

Friendships torn and lives worn thin
Yet betrayal is a sin
Trust is foreign, lies command
Deaths remain unplanned

Some are reds and some are blues
War is just a game
Some will win and some will lose
Next week we’ll play again.
