Mind For War

A mind for war.
A horror with machine gun arms.
A frag grenade heart.
The lust for blood burns.
Tomahawk cruise missles.
The lust for blood.
Vengence.
A mind for war.
I am what you devour for.
Nine millimeter eyes.
No reason for disguise.
A plague is all I need.
A mind for war.
I am what you strive for.
I am all you're good for.
A fiery steed.
Shining blood red on the horizon.
He is what you strive for.
He is what you seem to need.
A mind for war.
A plague of the ages.
Handed down through lore.
A craving you can't tame.
Nor would you if you could.
The horse's nostrils flare.
They spew a blood so black I gag.
The air fills with flies.
The oceans fill with swelling corpses.
The water is blood.
The water is what you crave.
The bloody corpse choked rivers.
Of your unnatural craving.
For war.
A mind for war.
Not a craving.
An insatiable lust.
The steed turns.
A searing wake follows him.
Burning all that ever was.
To a coarse debris choked cinder.
The Red Horse rears in triumph.
You gave him what he wanted.
Gave him what he needs.
The suffering of our people.
The fueling of their greed.
Is this what anyone wants or needs?
Any TRUE human being?
We will not feed the steed.
The crimson horse of war.
The blood.
The lives.
We have wasted on the shores.
The fields.
The Oceans.
The skies.
A mind for war.
A burning twisted mind for war.
Its exactly what we need.
Its exactly what we crave.
O crimson horse of war!
Give us what we want!
Give us what we need!
Unleash the hell.
That is our destiny.
We cant look back.
Its too late now.
The crimson horse of war.
Rides among us even now.
Stampeding through the minds of men.
The minds of men in power.
Turning them to anger, fear and greed.
The burning crimson steed.
Burning all we see.
What will we see?
Our true destiny?
It cannot be.
That we were born.
with this mind for war.
This inborn taste for carnage.
This bloody insatiable lust.
The Horse just stares.
Flaring eyes.
A global conflagration.
What has been seen.
Can be stopped.
Break the horse.
Within yourself.
The Crimson steed.
The mind for war.

Very well said! Nice job here!! S+F For You!!
A Bloody Hell on Earth Is what our War Mongering Leaders want.
I can see it no other way really. 'They just keep on gettin' their foot in the door of strategic places, and when they are done, leave some troops to keep their foothold on their newest captured area. BS In My Book, but who am I ?.
Sorry I ramble. ( Man I guess Your writing here got Me all fired up!LOL!!)

Nice work. Later, Syx.

I read your story and S&F'd it!

Yeah, Donnie has always been one of my favorites I went to school on halloween dressed like him with 28:06:42:12 written on my arm in sharpie marker, lol... I seen the sequel but it wasn't nearly as good as the first... in my opinion.

Yah I liked the second part, but like Ya said, it was not as good as the first. I mean really though, how can You get a better part 2 from The original Donnie Darko! Right!!?
