Say No to War!

Once in a century there comes a notable war, To prove how uncivilized human beings are! One steps up, reaching for the star, The other steps down, Leaving a never-vanishing scar. O ruled people! Say no to war, It has always favored the rulers so far. “We are the saviors of the world,” they say, Yet the shepherdless flock is left as prey. What will justify the war? What can replace the genocide of the little flower? “Holy war,” they command, What holiness do you see in the blood-soaked hand? Left and right, they divide the world, Yet both belong to the same word. Having messed up this blue marble as much as we can, Now praying for another one to mess it up again.

' what holiness do you see in blood soaked hands' so very true. In Wars each side have blessings said over their solider's heads to reach victory.. humans just cant find the path to peace without God and used his Word Jesus to tell us a time will come. 'no more wars' thought provoking poem Mary, thank you for sharing it with is today. Jackie
