Men of War

Teach not the little children war Impede them not to learn my law lest my wrath with fierceness come upon you See innocence in confused eyes Saddened, scared, these be deprived and cannot fathom that which they must view How long would last your power sought when land and blood be brought to naught Oh men of little faith Consider ye the children's minds to reinstate of love divine lest darkness prevail at your gates Surely all shall lose the fight who trust alone in human might forsaking righteousness and peace What god speaks into your ear to motivate unto despair and destruction to increase Fear, each of you, from every side There is no place for souls to hide not to escape the face of the Almighty Though martyr's cries do reach my throne they shed not blood as were their own thus, listen to your hearts, Oh men misguided For all upon the earth shall see that bond and free shall bow the knee and proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord And if this faith men can concede you all become the promised seed of righteous Abraham Wherefore then the battle's gain If all have access to attain who dare lift arms against his brother Listen therefore not to deceit Let your inheritance be meet as to children who give honour to their mother Oh men of war, your weapons yield Replace with my well beloved shield that your victory be the glory of the living God... Galatians 3: 28-29:- There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The scripture you used in summary at the end, "ye are all one in Christ" was so fitting for this splendid message of your poem.
