RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WAR
Holy Mission
Your cause may be righteous
But it does not belong to god
You mission may be pure
But it is not god’s mission
Whatever god is or is not
Whosever god receives your prayers
And listens to your suffering
There is no god of war
War is man’s invention
The mission of war belongs to men
The cause of war is man
When you raise the name of god in war
You blaspheme his (or her) holiness
When you appeal to god in war
You diminish the nature of god
Save your prayers for the cause of peace
Pray that no more innocents will die
Pray for an end to suffering
Pray for an end to war
Now and forever
Let it be so
