They Started a War

Quote: "One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one." Agatha Christie (1977)

They started a war
The planet began
protesting,

Asking who was in charge,

Had the ship sailed off course.

They outlawed our prayers
The students became
More savage

Many thought that was cute,

Others milled around mute.

Tears fell from the skies
Flooding the plains
Muffling the cries
A quiet fell o'er
The earth
Waiting to see
For what it was worth.

They had no respect
They did not revere
Their Maker

Life they say isn't fair

Now they're no longer there.
