Monotonous War
Wails of war have echoed throughout time
Arrows, spears, guns, missiles
All have pierced the innocence of man
Enough blood shed to fill an ocean
The persecution of humanity for peace never cease
The sounds of war echo for an eternity
The images of war are woven in our history
Do we have the capacity to have divine love?
Millenniums of hate desecrate all of Christ words.
Technological gain in the name of pain
The stars have bared witness to thousands of years
Of hell on earth.
Poisoned lungs, pierced skin, bodies blown away
Man's legacy to the world.
