To let all you readers know. This is a poem about how some conditions in the Feudal Era probably were. I realize it has little to do with Inuyasha. It's just about the world he grew up in. Sheesh, give me a break.

Feudal War

In the heat of battle

The blood spills

And the high-pitched screams

Send you chills

Your nerves are rattled

As you run for the hills

Your clothes tearing at the seams

Running from a sword that kills

The smell of death is in the air

Villages are covered in fire

A baby is crying from somewhere inside

As the flames climb higher

Bodies are lying everywhere

The situation dire

Children are trying to hide

From the Reaper's sire

The cold steel tearing your skin

Not running anymore

Seeing the darkness within

While knocking on Death's door

A/N: In case you're wondering the Reaper's sire is Death. I'm personifying them.
