War and Peace (haiku)
With words full of rage
I blow to strike down my foe,
Victory is here.
Many months of war
Has left the sand soaked in blood,
And sin fills the air.
My soldiers are brave
Though we know our foe is strong,
Still I keep my faith.
When at last we rise
And the war has come to end,
Our eyes turn to home.
Leave behind the death
And welcome in the new life,
This life is of peace.
