Forever

War
Holy
Or mundane
Between our gods
Or over our oil
It squanders countless lives
So blinded by confidence
Our self righteousness continues
To send the young to their early graves
Evermore it shall go, giving no peace.

If you would, please don't post scripture in a comment for one of my poem's. It makes me uncomfortable as I'm not a Christian. I mean no disrespect, and I sincerely appreciate you reading my poem.
