Religious War

                                   HALLELUJAH!

Religious wars, where absolutes are proven neither wrong nor right,

Have body counts that must show war's absurd.

Religion has, for centuries, been generating heat, not light

With slashing swords excused by Holy words.

Though generations fight to make their true God number one again;

Though thousands die for crescent or for cross.

Fanatics on both sides still wade across vast seas of blood and pain,

The meaning of the scriptures now long lost.

And if God ever came to this small planet, would He hold our hand?

What shall we tell Him? what will be our cry?

As our nations beg forgiveness, will He try His best to understand?

Or simply snuff the sun out, let us die.
