The Passive Aggressive's War

Battle lines have been drawn,
And forces now amass.
The battle now inevitable,
For the die have now been cast.

Alliances have been made and broken,
Now all must pay a cost.
Through actions or omissions
How much will be lost?

Pawns manipulated into position,
Whilst the true aggressors hide behind.
Foot soldiers first into the fray
And to the consequences blind.

Whispered words implanted
Into a mindless empty head.
The friendship that you once held,
Now completely lost or dead.
