The God of Death

I am here to give men
Their pleasure in spilling blood
Over centuries, again and again
Often in battlefields of dirt and mud


I depict courage and bravery
But also slaughter and brutality
I put thousands in slavery
Through encouraging hostility


You know me as Aries or Mars
The god of war
I live in the stars
And you will often hear my roar


As I encourage humanity to kill
Again and again over nothing
I know they will always do my will
As I sit in the stars laughing.
