ANCIENT BATTLE, ANCIENT TIMES

She watched and worried
From afar.
Her husband, her life,
His children.
Dying, dying, dying needlessly.

The battlefield,
A sea of bright colors
Falling, falling, falling,
Crude weapons everywhere.

Terror runs like ice water
Through her veins
Her friends, her family,
All are no more.

And she?
Unknowing,
She watches and worries
From afar.
