The Madness of War

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2015)

Goodness must overrule absolute evil Though there's nothing worse than war.
Sometimes we have no alternative option Except to kill or be killed as before.
The best of plans can go amiss With uncertainties till the first shots are fired.
As generals plot their path toward victory It's up to the wounded, the fallen and tired.
It's not how strong or athletic you are That decides who is blessed to return.
Those who survive are a product of luck And our prayers and support they've earned.
War seems to peel the veneer off society Exposing our villain within.
A crazy obsession to rule over others By death, destruction and sin.
The mayhem of conflict is an ongoing scourge Robbing man from intended glory.
The hinge of history swings in all directions As the madness of war tells its story.
