Excellence Award in the 'Read Write Repeat 2015' competition

Bloodshed, bloodbaths
I shower in rivers of fresh blood, drenched
The aroma of burning flesh
But why? Haven't you won yet? But isn't it pointless?
My dreams are shattered
My clothes are tattered
My dripping blood stings with tears
All I hear is the deafening silence of gunshots engulfing my ears
A dove,once, a symbol for peace, but now, drenched with blood
The pestilence of sinister intentions gradually flood
This war is futile, no one wins
Humanity's extinction begins...
