Another Army

you approach as if on lightening
the plains resound with you
a distant resonance
preceding your advance
to the next kingdom
of your conquest

east to west you proceed
resistance a fading strategy
as the thunder of your approach
drowns out the living
consuming the landscape
in fire and pitch

no force repels you
and any attempt to is met
by the siege of your attrition
terminal in their effort
futile in theory alone
failing to slow your western advance
