Holy War

A holy war blessed and authorised by the clergies, condemned and opposed by God. day and night cities shed blood, enraged crusaders fight, for a course wedded to indoctrination. "give your life or die" they chant, having more passion for evil, in the name of the Lord, they destroy, justifying black for white, sanity for insanity. killing creatures in mortal frame, littering peaceful deserts with corpse. mad crusaders, use your sense!

Maybe the Hippies of the 60s were not far from the target, LL ... Make love not war! God can never agree with war, especially in His name; His teaching is based on reciprocal love. // paul

The majority of thinking people hate the constant slaughter....insanity prevails with wind in its sails. like a wall of bricks with no mortar?
