War. War never changes. An armsrace. Outranking the others. Trying to push forward. Moving up the line. Wasting lives.losing their body. Their silent screams are deafning. The gunfire, swords and shields. The splattering of blood. The holes, the slashes in bear skins. Wounds crippling people, Their blood spilling. Running into battle. Sword, gun, shield. Opposing forces. Yelling. Screaming. Who is right? Who is really on the right side? Killing and letting souls go. Spilling blood. losing lives.
