Communal War

Hellish!
Complicated
Bitter and vitriolic
Contempt and anger!

The slippery words
Beaded with bleeding gums
In the chalets of the bloodiest lips
Bear hostilities and military campaigns.

Darkness stands
Mourning the demise
Of the genetically terminal light
On chariots of thunders to obscurity!

The venomous resolutions
Suck the first peaceful bloods
With cupped boots of the helmsmen
To execute the travailing thick war clouds!
