Feast with Orphans

Another ceasefire
another ceasefire
it won't last long
it'll hold until 
weapons are replenished
wounds are patched
the tongues
of the blood puppets
are refreshed
another ceasefire
another ceasefire
it won't last long
neither side thinks
that the other belongs.

If there is a God, then we're all God's children
and we all belong.
If there is no God, then we're all cosmic orphans
and nobody belongs.
Either way, the universe doesn't care. 

Make war unprofitable, then it will cease to exist
Disarm Armageddon-Defang religion
Feast peacefully with shining orphans, not crummy kings.
