A Country of Red

star

I look across this vast country,
So many have died
Yet this war rages on.

Is there a reason,
A purpose to all this madness?
All the hate: all the anger?

" Why?!
To every living soul.
Why?!"

" Little boy,
Why do you cry?
Do you cry for your dead family?

Little boy,
I cry too:
For a country of heartache,

A country of death,
Of war,
Of where the streets flow with blood and tears.

I cry for memories,
Good and bad ones.
I cry for lost innocence.

I cry for the fallen blood,
The fallen tears,
For a country of red."

blood Matthew 10:21-22
And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
And ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
