I'm hanging with the Lord,
trying very hard not to,
swing the sword.
Die by the sword,
or live in the word.
Swinging a sword kills,
causes blood spills.


War is in the Bible,
still at times we will be held liable,
for the war we make,
and the peace we break.
Adding fuel to the fire,
out of selfish evil desire,
makes for a fools empire.


Fools never think of peace solving,
they always start war evolving.
Wise men try peace first,
before they obtain a blood thirst.
Then they try peace again,
before they head out to defend.


Then when people die,
women and children cry,
the wise mans conscious bothers less,
because he knows he did his best.
At times we all have to fight,
but it's best to resist
with all our might.


G
