War Storm Poem by Barry Middleton

the clouds are building in the east
and fire has scarred the sky
the terror of the night has come
when evil demons fly

the war has spread across the globe
and no one seems to know
just what to do to save mankind
or how to quell the foe

I hear the thundering of boots
a million soldiers strong
as if that path could save our hearts
or stem the evil throng

the bombs may rain upon us all
for we are all one race
but death can never end the storm
or bring salvation's grace

the hearts of men will never change
by war or armies might
the road to peace is walked alone
each man must find the light
