Its A Hell Of A Holy War : Modern Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

This so called holy war has been going for so long now , but if they think that war is right then they are wrong somehow .


The tanks roll on .
The guns fire and missiles don't fall in love .
Panic hits in the night .
Towns are crushed .
People push and shove .


It's a hell of a holy war .
The fruits a bitter taste .
Good men going bad .
What a waste .


Rebels can be replaced .
An eye for an eye ,a tooth for a tooth .


The blind are sore ,
they can't see the truth ,

and they can't feel
Gods love anymore .


They are so wrapped up in their cause and they believe they're right ,
but it's ironic because
God loves those who do not fight .


God tells us happy are the peacemakers ,
lets start trying .


If love could conquer ,
in wars there would be no more dying .


There would be peace on Earth.


There would be no reason to fear .


Until then there will be these holy wars , year after year .


With bloodshed on the streets there and so many people dying .


God's given us his holy commandments,
there's no denying .


Peace is all that war defeats and no war can be called holy .
Man is wrong and he needs to understand it's not solely,
up to him to justify killing for God is ok .
And in the end theocracy will have the final say .
