Forced Attrition

Massive artillery bombardment

Counter insurgency, the reckoning

Unleashed furiously upon

The inept and morally oblivious army

Exact execution of killing

Leaving limp and battered shells to fester in the sun

Delivering atonement for murder and mutilation

The enemy flees in panic

Leaderless, cowering to mercenaries

Retribution, hunt them down

Kill them all, forced attrition

Concussing the rebellion back

Through their own killing fields

Fleeing over a sea of maggots

Releasing the stench of a weeks death

Forced to a village of atrocities

They had just finished recently

Regrouped and hungry for more killing

The painted platoon picks off the exposed

Then creep in, to finish off the rest

Exact execution of killing

Leaving limp and battered Shells to fester in the sun

Delivering atonement for murder

Death was the errand and the fate they deserved

The sky's on fire, smell humans burning

Can't believe what they see

Unrelenting butchery

Entering a village deceased

Baring witness to thrawn barbarity

Raped, penetrated, and hacked

Were victims of genocidal attack
