Gray clones stare into the eagle snake eye of Doubt,
     too scared to move, too scared to breathe,
     shadow hands caress the shoulders...
     
     ...air smells like stale blood.

     The face of War
     is a singular metal geopolitical Byzantine mask of Shame
     of Doubt
          of Fear
               of Hell.
     Cold gray soldiers drunk on the cannibal blood of Victory
     eat meat of prisoners
     choking on dust
               on smoke
                    on Thought.
     The tanks crawl across
     the oil-spilled, mud filled Hell of broken souls upon the metal wood chains spike hammer wheel-of-Death.
     Children scream in pain,
     impaled for crimes unknown, uncommitted, unborn.
     Parents dying, mothers crying, brothers lying.
     The War of the Truth...
