How much it is given in our hands <br />when our might of gods are displayed <br />To deem it just to wound and kill <br />and declare who can be saved. <br /> <br />But Consorts and Consultants are hidden well <br />who create this hate and slaughter <br />while in the streets run the innocent <br />Father, Mother, son and daughter. <br /> <br />Of sure there is malice for the other side <br />who jeopardize our folk and kin <br />but what can we say of this whole damn thing <br />when in war only greed can win. <br /> <br />What has happened here that we failed to see <br />is that some will never learn <br />to respect our neighbor and covet him not <br />lest our love for him will turn.<br /><br />S.W.
