Mars
God
of
War

…

They were given choice, of chance, of meaning and circumstance
Bellows of Hell fires cooling mankind’s hearts
Son against father
Daughter against mother
Laurels of white strung flowers trampled with hate
Wolves howling casting down the ravens loss
Beast pounding at the door
Windows broken
a child cries, not from hunger, love, loss… a child cries with hate
revenge borne so many times before in so many colors
…
Pulling the sword from sheathed calm collections
Sharpening upon the stone of preparation
Razor sharp focus
with shield in hand and crossed blade
giving thanks to the coming war
to the Father of War
spill the blood deeper than the oceans deep
raise the cries of anguish and horror to honor the vultures high
level all innocence in between
…
Hail Father, come to me so I too, can plunge the blade of paternal power deep
into your heart where then the dogs of war
can feed.

Mars has always been a strong influence and lately in the night sky, very powerful. Just look at what a full moon does to the lunatics.  Crazy powerful, and the moon is just a small chunk of dust, imagine the planet of Mars… It stirs the desire to kill, destroy and make war.

So, to those who embrace the power of war, relish the smell of blood and taking of life, it is what you crave and desire. From an individual to the entire world, let it bleed and afterwards, the numbness of your actions can be fully appreciated by Mars, the god of war leaving those who survive left to pick through the ashes to once again prepare for the next influence of that most powerful craving… WAR!
