Mars Aligns with Jupiter
by: Christina Johnson
Mars aligns with Jupiter
Blood and war engulf the earth
Spears and swords lash out for blood
Dead bodies get piled up
Tanks and trucks are rolling by
Weapons give command to die
Double tap into the head
Pumping bodies full of lead
Cannons and artillery
Bringing billions to their knees
.50 Cals and MK-19s
Killing people as they please
A busy night tonight for Death
Taking from warriors, Life’s breath
The whole sum of soldier life:
Born to kill, yet born to die
