For King & Crown

Ten soldiers,
all lie flat.
Children,
ten of them,
hand in hand.
Kings recognised
in a hurried,
nervous manner,
without noticing
the crimson
velvet HEARTS.

The Bodies

The young heart denies
all final goodbyes
once more.
Choral peace song cries
while death try disguise
it's score.
With winged bird it flies,
news that all hope dies
in war.

For war, 
Word or ward
Odor of war
Draw forward.
Do for war
A wood arrow draw
Or wood oar 
Draw forward.
Word of war
Roar raw ward
Offroad or radar
Draw forward.
