Armies to dust

His voice rang out so loud and clearly,
Over hilltops,
Through the auburn leaves
And rivers of infinity
That armies laid down weapons
And raised their shallow heads
To skies.
His voice for hers.
Words were indistinguishable
As were causes to fight.
Mighty men
Became nothing
But children
But life they possessed.
They raised their scarred arms
And looked at what they had become,
Nothing but enemies to themselves.
