Raiding the village

Grief
|
Blood spills like liquid rubies,
as women imitate banshee screams.
Spouses torn from houses
and thrown amidst maniacal laughter
on the ground of fire and ashes.
Bodies burning black.
Hungry darkness eating
everything in sight,
consuming the sun
leaving behind only night.
As day breaks from
the belly of the horrid beast
and souls shed thier skin
under the blazing sun,
decay welcomes scavengers
with a gruesome feast.
spectors roam curious to the fallen village.
Vile flesh causing havoc in the ghost town,
silence murders all sound.
circles above cry out loud.

Ira_Haze......a great American
a beautiful Indian
a hero to look up to.
I like the poem,but I was confused about the happening.I tend to read it as the white men soldiers raiding an Indian village and slaughtering the inocent Native Americans.
These things really happened and then the white man looked at Indians as savages,while they themselves behaved as savages.Good Write.
