Rape of Man

Man has been raped
again and again
for centuries and millenia

There he lies slain
limbs torn apart
in the aftermath of a war
fought on the whims of some
and benefiting none.

While he went to the war
with glitter in his eyes
as well as many dreams
he left behind living souls
who longed to see
but a moment more of him

But now their wishes will never be met
they shall only see him unwhole
wrapped tightly in the cursed cloth

But these things serve no lesson
since patriotism has struck him blind
since man is a fool
and man has been raped
and will continue to be raped
for centuries and millenia to come
