They hurled sharp stones at us
At them brickbats we aimed
We broke their swollen heads
Some of our ranks they maimed
At their missiles our bodies bled
With rockets their blood we shed
Their injured they rushed to hosp
Our wounded we carried there
The doctors and nurses served
Sans reservation, they were fair
But those being served were fools
Fought there with
tongue tools
Human animal from times ancient
Bears within him seeds of greed
Aims to possess wherever possible
Place, power and purse ‘out need
From fratricide he doesn’t refrain
From crimes equal to noose or chain
Where is Satan, the Devil unseen?
He dwells potent in human hearts
All over the world he’s ever on move
Dividing God’s children into parts
Children will act childish thru’ future
Until Him they obey in childlike nature.
