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
