POEM: Victor

The ceased
And deceased
Telling their tales
Red the same
With blood mingling
As parents and
At won's
The fodder of another
Bequeathing its prize
And ultimate price
as Victor
Victor
With monstrous mettle
So easily mistaken for living
As dead
And littering
Sow trying
A pieced together
Only Abel too
Udder incomprehensibly
As accompany buy
That haunting refrain
to the victor
That vanquishing breed
And human raze
Anew create or
Victor
