Hell fire shall
  Rain on her
        Pretty polished nails,
          Filed to perfection.
    Ready to slice at any man
   That tries to stand in her way.    
                       
                               They thought they could control her.                
         Born from the ashes
Of the men left    
On war grounds.
Like the statues they built to worship
                                                            She stands tall.

Gun powder used
        To contour her cheeks. 
  Jaw so sharp
Could cut tension
       So thick
                                         
                                            Blood red, vibrant, alluring, seductive
                                                     Blood from her brothers
                                                           Who lay lifeless
                                                          On the battlefield

They thought they were gods
Building war machines
That could kill a dozen
But one look from her was
Far more dangerous than
Any man-made metal.

            So Kneel before her
Pretty painted toes
   Because she is        
            The Goddess of War.
