Epitomizing horror

Echoes its bleakest past

With willimg replication

Let perspective last

Breaking deadlocks

World bleeding inside

Now the tide is turning

In ever present pride



Strategies executed

All now beyond defeat

Analysis, no rise to flaws

See failure as retreat



Rearguard advantage

Third battle forges close

Forceful and evasive

So proud, yet morose

Seeds of future discord

Suspicion, fear and hate

Never lying dormant

One by one negate



No last offensive

All resistance ceased

Forced down the final path

Forwards into peace
