Confusion in warefare

Afraid?

Often.

Smart?

Always.

Alone?

Never!

Faster faster,

Stop.

smell.

Repeat.

Stop,

Listen,

wait,

Wait for HIM.

He’s here. Attack at front.

Wait for the flank.

Distract dominate. Destroy.

Blood spilt, blood splattered.

Feed. Grow. Repeat

Destroying the dark emerald green with a horrid red.

Destroying all that it touches

An average day until they arrived.

Look like us. Act like us- yet- they aren't us. They aren't me

An attack from the front followed by another from the sides.

We know how they play.

Attack the king and the city shall fall.

They know this.

We know this.

I know this.

attack from the rear.

Saw it coming. It’s the same thing we do, It’s the same thing I do.

I attack the leader. Without being told. Without being told.

Myself on the left and the right.

A friend at front all attacking.

After seconds we stop.

Confused and allured. No one wants to hurt their tribe,

Our men?

Their men?

we must defend. I must defend But from who? Myself?

Then… we see him,

A leader on the ground. Blood on the floor

A grim fate for us all to witness.

The enemy laughs at us. At me? No us.

We must continue on for the sake of us all.

Another one must be chosen.

Another one… like me.

Afraid?

Often.

Smart?

Always.

Alone.

Possibly.
