Ragnarok

By Joseph Prem

Smoke clouds raining down war dust, streams of red carrying the collateral, even the savages of all, Vikings, were defeated on a typical another day. The shrill war cry in unison

did strike through the armor of foes but,

it couldn't end the war.

Even the Valkyries visiting battlefields

on their golden slain horses

treading gently on the scarlet meadows

to walk the fallen to the halls of Valhalla

play favorites at times, for not all warriors get to grace the Odin's hall. For those of who didn't fear the death

because of the pride at joining forces in after-life to fight the impending Ragnarok, it's needless to say that

it would still reset the circle of life

by ending the current one.
