"Thou shalt not kill"
Leaves no excuse,
In Christianity.
For wars of any kind.

The "justness" seen
On either side,
Is planted in the mind
By greed alone.

To kill a foe,
To save them from death,
Makes no sense to me at all.
Be it on a battlefield,
Or against a pitted wall.

Is this the end
Where once Eden lay,
And in this land of Cush,
We'll see a lasting Peace on Earth,
Or another burning, Bush?
