War's Perfume

by Teresita Blanco

 

Stare into the scarlet hue!

Glare into the dark abyss!

Swear fealty to our hymn…

As we tremble in fear

he laughs with his belly of fume.

As we, with fear, shiver

he slaps our ego.

Can we regain

the sanctity of pain?

How can we stop

this horrid humiliation!?

He comes to kill,

our love, our will.

Swear into the scarlet hue!

Glare into the dark abyss!

Share all our woes within our hymn…

As we run with fear,

he races to spread

War’s Perfume.

As it permeates

we quiver and shake

as he kills our hero.

And so he rise…

to liberate all!

(Bah!)

And so we realize

there is no getting rid

of his malice.

Oh! The world grows so cold…
