ARES
A Poem by Michael Woodhead
Copyright © 1969, 2024
Bloodstained, murderous
God of war
Ares, the fighter
Incarnate curse of mortals
Fight on, fight on!
The fight ne'er can cease
With him are Discord, Strife, and Enyo
Terror, Trembling, and Panic
Leaving paths of groans
And streams of crimson blood
