A war about God and a war about Land <br />The tragic loss of lives I do not understand <br />A just war in truth is a damnable lie <br />For in modern day conflicts many civilians do die <br />Old hatreds they live on for centuries of years <br />And gives rise to suffering and bloodshed and tears <br />And every day of conflicts and wars we do hear of and read <br />And despite what some say war to peace never lead <br />The war supposed to end all wars was fought decades ago <br />But that is a fallacy as we do know <br />But with them it is never let bygones be gone <br />Old hatreds in mistrust in them living on <br />Another old hatred in conflict is raging today <br />Where many innocents die in a Land far away.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-war-about-god-and-a-war-about-land/
