May Heaven Forbid! Poem by Tom Zart

Too many riffles have been shoved in the ground
With battlefield helmets on top for a crown.
The war between evil and all which is good
Has raged on longer than before wheels of wood.

David slew Goliath with a sling and stone
For a solider of good never fights alone.
Their armor is grace, and their loved ones behind
Who pray for their safety and soundness of mind.

Ever sense the miracle of human birth
The winds of war have blown across Earth.
World war II was fought to end the need for all war
And millions who lived it, aren't with us anymore.

May Heaven forbid that it happens again
The destruction of cities, family and friend.
Combat is hell, but tyranny is worse
Till the day mankind overcomes its curse.

So tally your blessings and be thankful for life
And remember there are those who wish, they were you.
Satisfaction and love are what mere mortals pray for
Though the lucky among us, who feel both, are few.
