War Demanded

Postby Tyr-Ziu Saxnot » Wed Mar 23, 2011 8:55 pm War Demanded If only man were like a stout oak tree Standing proud and tall for the world to see Dreaming of a peaceful culture that truly will last Ever seeking a happy future while sailing at full mast Reality presents a very different and forceful demand Greed calls for taking other's blood , treasure and land No small trick starting another evil and bloody war With death, misery and cuts leaving a lasting scar Any excuse will do when lying is so demanded Up is down when right becomes so underhanded Why worry at all about the lives destroyed or taken? Call for power demands that truth and honor be forsaken Every war starts with Truth being pushed aside Far too cumbersome and heavy for death's dark ride Lies fired from cannons take the first great measure After that the vultures descend to take the treasure....
