Spring Snow
spring snow
purifies earth and heaven –
our enemies perish
spring snow
hearing the army's approach
grows red with spilled blood
purifies earth and heaven
the god of war triumphant
the bodies burning
our enemies perish
we see our enemy's face
when looking in glass

Notes:
The "sleigh" in this grim Troiku was written by Mizuhara Shûôshi (9 Oct 1892–17 July 1981). The three horses of the Apocalypse were created by me.
Ouch.
ReplyDeleteWe are they, and they are us.
A painful and often unrealised truth.
Dehumanizing the "enemy" is one of the most-used tactics in war. It's also very effective.
