Barbarians

2781

In ancient times, in times of war, 

Kings would battle in the fore.

Genghis Khan, Alexander the great, and many others witnessed the fate.

Leading the charge, practising what they preach. 

Now we rulers that stay out of reach. 

Their there, on both sides.

Delivering slaughter while protecting their hides.

"The ancients were animals heads they would plough. 

Thank God we've evolved, 

We a civilised now."
