Day 28 Prompt: Sailor

Title: Twenty-Eight

The resources have been depleted to a point where
War is inevitable, and hungry eyes see it as their means of survival
Every lunatic warlord  frantically beat on their war drums urging their serfs to do battle
Not one of them realises they are the disciples of doom, not comic book heroes they believe
Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief a rhyme that leaves
You wondering what you will become when you are no longer you
-
Every last despot has lost the plot and how
Ironic it is that they can't see the wood for the trees, and if not for their blinding
Greed the outcome might well have been reversible
However, the wheel of misfortune kept turning and despots repeat the same mistakes returning
To what they know best, the way of the sword has been their answer since before the Crusades
