Four wars

The spread of four wars
Arms are being contributed by the philanthropic west
Towns with no schools are recruit centers
Warzone orphans are our generals and captains

The spread of four wars across
four parts of the continent
Accumulating troops
no longer human

Deep lakes inside of us
full of turmoil and predators fighting to top the foodchain
Peace on it's frozen surface
From long winters that will come after the wars

The center of the earth will cook
put the fork in
The meal savory and painful
like rubbing salt into the wounds of illiterate soldiers
