War of Attrition

War of attrition
Cruelty by design
A battle waged to demoralize

Resistance was met
More than they could expect
The cost would be paid by both sides

Bodies have been scattered
With chemical decay
Transforming beauty to a no man's land

The ossuary holds
Thousands of the lost
Drifting ember dreams and names long gone

Sometimes it seems
These scars will never heal
The war is done but the ghosts remain

Towns destroyed
Not to be rebuilt
But in those fallow fields, nature thrives
