WAR
WAR

    It’s the saddest of all
When humans **** each other
And even sadder yet when it’s
Called civil and brother is killing brother

There’s nothing civil about it
We know it’s the Devil at work in his play
As he’s laughing with great joy
As thousands die each day

You see it in all types of wars
Like between the police and the thugs
The good verses the evil
And this includes the war on drugs

And there’s domestic war
When two people forget their love
As a riff comes in between them
And a push comes to a shove

And last but not least as two friends
Have a problem that they can’t solve
It boggles the mind and makes me wonder
How did this happen how did it evolve

A friend is someone you regard with
Affection and someone you trust
But as quick as the blink of an eye
A friendship can turn to rust

And one side is thrown for a loop
As they’re hit with a surprise attack
Blindsided and viciously over taken
By the other one stabbing them in the back

And just weeks before you were asked
For your love and support and prayer
And you were there for them and that
Same person becomes your slayer

As a follower of Jesus I was taught
Even if my heart had been riven
That I am to accept it and to have
The strength to say all is forgiven

And with my teaching I will and I do
With my heart but in my brain I’ll define
And this will be remembered as the moment
Trust was lost as you chose to cross the line

I just wanted to know what was wrong
Not knowing what you were fighting for
You said not to worry everything is cool
And your next action was declaring WAR
