War, Justice and Peace
war is fear that you will kill or be killed
war is reality that home might not be there
war is the pain of losing someone loved
was is the response from heaven above
war is not sleeping but lying awake
war is not eating for someone else's sake
war is the journey to you know not where
war is peace once justice is fair
justice is what righteousness brings
justice is war on nations God reigns
justice is light in the darkest cave
justice is right when laws are made
justice is vengeance the price to be paid
justice is the long reaching arm that slays
justice is the unrelenting chase of guilt
justice is the cage peacemakers built
peace is the safety from wrath or greed
peace is keeping the treaties agreed
peace is dividing God's gifts with care
peace is sleeping without worry or fear
peace is not building bombs that tear
peace is sharing everything that's there
peace is giving warmth to the cold
peace is the Eternals eventual goal
