Peace is a heartbeat from death
The trigger finger,
Button of mass destruction:
Blood-lust from father to
son passed -- children learn
by what parents do, even more than
from what we say
Let us pray:
Dear God, save us from self inflicted
evil today;
Save us from such sad sorrow going
into the morrow;
Let Your Christ Sacrifice be not for
naught; in Your mercy and fairness
penitently our refuge is sought
The Devil rules when Love forsaken
Every grave a plot where lies a precious
child, victim of another wrongly taught
Though far wiser purchases for mankind
Warrior mentality
Weapons of war is the industry
Most sold
And naively bought....
