Edit 1:
Every week a card is played,
four suits as seasons tell;
seers seeking signs and omens
for soldiers gambling their lives.
Summer hearts bleed for a king’s ideology,
red queens of winter and blood diamonds.
Spring spades digging trenches and graves of war
for infantry boys, bearing
black clubs, lances and rifles as they fall.
causality cuts lines in fate,
making kings and commoners equal
in the games of war they partake;
All play with the hand they’re dealt,
only some see the deck shuffled again.

for infantry boys bearing black clubs, lances and rifles
causality cutting lines and making all equal in fate
kings and commoners playing with the hand they’re dealt
knowing they might not see the deck being shuffled again
