Fallen Heroes
You remember fallen heroes who died in
the first and second world wars
Fighters were united and fought above
political, tribal and racial grounds
Brought forth peace and freedom
which we enjoy
Hence, do not water down their efforts
and encourage unneccessary wars
Preserve peace and pray against
rumours of wars
Caananites were conquered
due to their undesirable mentality
To the Almighty and surrounding
nations
Israelites were engaged into battlefieLd
to get rid of enemies
Israelites acted well in repelling enemies
and did not sit with hands crossed when faced
by attacks
and enemies that came within range
were slain
Actually ISRAEL of old defended civilians and their
property from harm and danger
Nowadays appetite for new disputes have
sparked latest surge in violence
Mostly the essence of war is over
trivial matters
Escalation in tensions among nations is
an going phenomena
DAILY:In military labs creating various kinds
of fixed, mobile, tactical
long-range radars and roadside bombs,
automatic rifles and airborne electronic surveillance
systems,unmanned aircraft, missiles
and artillery systems, mortars and rockets;
FOR MASS DESTRUCTION-KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE:
killing civilians in aerial and ground bombardments__
and luck ones fleeing the most appalling persecutions
and bloodshed!
