WAR!!

War is the reflection 

Of man's spiritual corruption 

Prejudice, racist  

Antagonism, isolation, and desolation  

War, the friend of man's evil heart 

Motivated by greed 

Having an everlasting appetite 

The mother of all consumption 

That which never satisfies 

War!

A desire to dominate and subjugate others 

To the will of one that feels superior 

Intoxicated by the wind of power

Which lasts, for the life of a shifting shadow 

War!

Every man's enemy 

Born in the heart and nurtured in the mind 

Springing forth with animation 

In its eyes

War!

Men look in its face for peace

While others see it 

As as a way of survival.
