Overpowering

The hissing makes you run.
BOOM!
Bloody bodies flung beyond what
the eye can see,
but no one stops.
Lives left like roadkill.
No one thinks, or considers
the lives lost.
War consumes
each man like a cancer--
taking over every
thought...
allowing no man to
do what he believes.

This poem is inspired by the many poems I have read regarding World War I.
