A troubling poem about betrayal between two brothers in a war.
SHADOWS OF BETRAYAL



In twilights grip, where brotherhood frays,
A fractured bond lost in the fog of many days.



The drums of war echo through shattered streets,
Where choices turned bitter and treason repeats.



Men clad in courage, faces masked by dread,
Yet beneath the valor, their loyalty fled.



A banquet of chaos served cold on a plate.
With eyes full of anger, they swallow their fate.



As shadows ensnare those once brothers-in-arms,
Conflict and vengeance weave their cruel charms.



Each soldiers heart heavy with disgustful weight,
For in the dark silence lies powerful hate.



Field stained with memories of innocence lost.
Amidst tales of glory at perilous cost.



What tyrant divides those who fought side by side?
In this dystopian land where few souls can hide.



The choice is now revealed --Between honour and shame,
In wars cruel theater, they're all just the same.



Though bitter betrayal and conflict profound,
Echoes of anger rise up from the ground.
