Bellem Letale

Category: Poem

Aggression runs under the skin
Like a subsurface wave
Always there but mostly silent
The tide comes and awakens
White froth and emanations
Pulling humanity down to the core
Hot and fluid the lava roars
Can you see the tyranny in man?
The ruin scratched into the land
Aggression runs under the skin
Where to begin – where to begin
When it starts it doesn’t end
Bellum letale – we know so well
The blast it lasts forever more
We all suffer loss and destruction
When aggression manifests itself as war
