Russo-Japanese War ★ February 8th 1904,

Rating: 5.0


sadly, men of Japanese and Russian descent were seeing Red,
unhappy with each other, they became mortal enemies
boom, bam, boom, until they all fell down Dead

laying amidst blood all round, a hundred and sixty thousand
and rejoicing at the round table in a state of delirium,
was their Leader, the one and only Grim Reaper,
counting each Soul who came to join him for dinner

There's an old Latin quote which says war is the horror of mothers, but I think you have it interesting hear. Its the feasts of death. An interesting subject, I haven't really read anyone write about this war, its almost the forgotten war of the 20th century. This is one of your darker works but I like it.
