Alla Antsis Poet Rhyme

The Crucified Risen

Christians once sacrificed their own, 
To the God of Love, like pagans known, 
Burning heretics, they claimed divine, 
Killing their own in a holy shrine.

Those who fought for freedom's call, 
Claiming Christian values above all, 
Killed their own in cold bloodshed, 
Replacing faith with "nation" instead.

Those who send us to war, with hate and fear, 
Are not Christian, nor human, but profiteers, 
Forcing the poor to meet their end, 
Calling it justice, a moral trend.

And oftentimes, the word "justice" they use, 
Substituting love, for violence they choose, 
Replacing truth with words that sound, 
A heartless scheme, worth millions of pounds.

The Crucified Risen, came to say, 
There's only love, in a world astray, 
Only love can conquer violence and strife, 
Bringing peace and hope, to all of life.

The Situation October 10, 2023 at 7:37 PM You need to re enter this durring this time of war to get it some attention. It's worth it now. Just a little edit and re enter. Alla Antsis October 11, 2023 at 7:25 PM Yes, I believe all my work anti-war related can easily apply to Ukraine, Israel or any other hot spots. War is same everywhere just causes, excuses, ambitions, politics and costs are separating the degrees of atrocities. Thank you for your recommendation, TS
