This war is ancient,
It is old,
as old as the Kings in the Book of Samuel,
who attacked one another in chariots,
King of Syria, King of Israel,
back and forth, back and forth,
who, depending on the favors of their God
also traded victories and losses.
They consulted with Prophets,
Elijah in the caves,
Elisha after him on Mount Carmel,
They called on God, Creator of all,
to punish those who worship Ba’al
and built mansions to their many wives,
One by one, their Kingdoms fall,
or they die some horrible death,
their descendants cursed with failure
for their father’s woeful greed,
while another king rises in their place,
ready to become King.
This war, over these SAME lands
started in ancient times.
The difference is,
we don’t ride in chariots,
We no longer fight with swords,
We now shoot missiles through the air
to targets marked by high-tech tools.
The truth is, today,
wars are global,
and we HAVE the power to destroy.ourselves.entirely.
What power can stop this ancient war?
replace it with a plan for peace?
Only one that sees us as ONE people,
the whole earth as our home,
that we ARE, ONE people,
the whole earth as our home,
so we must bridge all ancient boundaries,
stop fighting for possession of our tomb.
