Raid


In a small remote place A man and his man prepared for a raid They had the whole village stretched out, beneath their feet they were on a mount The whole village lay peaceful Next moment, cries of fury and death Ordained village men tried to stop the raid with but gunpowder wasnt enough, the raiders were for blood Were on a raid of death for plunder and spoil heads cut off, guts were dragged off men lay dying with their hearts on the floor Somewhere, a pregnant woman knelt pleading before a raider who wasnt sure a heart was within him He brought out his sword, slowly brandishing the child in her womb kicking, please dont do this slash! His blade killed air and swept across her womb the child fell , as dead as the womb The manraider gave a cry and fell down, dead He disobeyed a law and ate what it bred
