War, Evil Beast, Just What the Hell Is It Good For

War, Evil Beast, Just What The Hell Is It Good For War the Evil Beast what the Hell is it good for A calamity brings death and great destruction. Nation against nation, death and misery scores Onto mankind all its deep savagery it pours. A darkened force that wipes away precious life Destroys our happiness, kills the innocent kids. Ghastly the power unleashed and tragic strife In Germany the Jews into dark cellars hid. War gifts battlefields strewn with the dying and dead The wailing and gnashing of teeth, wars black reward. Torn up battle fields were brave men and women bled Pain and suffering, written about by brave Bards. O' Lord pray we thy light, wonderful saving grace. We plead, stop insanity in the human race! Robert J. Lindley, Dark Sonnet, April 20th, 1973 age 19 Note- In my small town there were two young men that tragically died in that war. sad but Teddy Talley , a nineteen year old, a young man from my hometown died there. Back then there were thousands of our citizens that cried we shouldn't be there.
