*** Challenge Poem 24 ***
*** Man of
War ***
by 'Barry R. Long'
warring since time
began, disputing mainly over land
battling over who has the
right to place a flag in the sand
if not land, then which god
it was, that created man
yet these gods don't act as though
they really give a damn
man and war have always been, nor the
reason change
only difference now is, the weapons have too much
range
the time has come to rally troops of a peaceful kind
to
stop this madness, before there is no more mankind
talk to the
powers that be, say no more to bleeding
just might be the
nature of peace, that you will be seeding
if you need money for
health, ask for just one bomb
put the question that way, and
the dove might sing along
so put pen to paper, request a bomb
this very day
send it to your leaders, help to prevent doom's
day
