fauxcroft

In a far off land

A war was being waged

Innocent people with their lives paid

And in their own blood they bathed

As bombs exploded and bullets were sprayed

This continued night and day

Then during the start of a new day

From on high angelic forces came

Enough was enough and down they came

With incandescent filigree swords displayed

In wings of might, dressed in white

They used from their swords bolts of light

In unrelenting power and energy

Rending dead all war machines and technology

Binding soldiers of aggression

Into a army marching in procession

Both in a mix from either side

Both to be judged in the wrongs of taking lives

Both to be faced with their deeds

For making women and children bleed

For the wholesale killing of families

And at the head of the procession brought to the battle field and forced to their knees

We’re those who ruled and those who lead

To answer for their crimes against humanity

This would serve as a warning to all

As they heard around the world from on high a loud trumpet call

And all were found guilty

And no life was spared, this only to me seemed fair

They were taken to pay for the evil they had done

And as a warning to everyone

That angels with their swords and clarions

Would protect the innocent from now on

Until the rest of humanity learnt the error of their ways

On giant winged horses

They were might on display

But to those who were innocent

And to those who were good

They looked pure, kind and compassionate in their look

No anger of fire in their features or eyes

No pride in taking warmongers lives

Just a wish to bring humanity to a time of peace

And end to war and a welcome release

The hate the bloodshed and also death

Humanity could now take time to catch its breath

And step back from the brink of self annihilation

As nuclear weapons were taken from all nations

And with it went the fear felt by all poulations

As they took to the streets in celebration

That a divine hand finally saw fit to intervene

And force war into obscurity

And the message was clear

It was time for change

A time for human beings to learn to coexist in more peaceful ways

Being tolerant and caring

And rediscovering love

A dream of which I can never get enough of.
