THE SEEDS OF THE END (Peter Sprenkeler)
The tragedy of war - I’ll continue to lament,
We all stand in legions - our protests sent.
But yet it goes on - as lives are spent,
In droves they die - nations are rent.
Truth lies in the ashes - hatred now law,
The worst of human emotion has come to the fore.
Decency lies bleeding from every pore,
Compassion and tolerance - both dead on the floor.
Bloodied and battered - integrity now gone,
As our soils drink blood as we hopelessly look on.
Conscience too has now vanished from:
The corpse strewn fields in the Valley Of Anon.
Misery and pain on a massive scale,
Horror and destruction - an endless tale.
No one is spared, not the young not the frail,
As the forces of evil relentlessly assail.
Inevitable? You ask, I suppose it may be so,
Could it all end - the world in a nuclear glow?
Food for thought - as the seeds of the end we sow,
Just as well God forgives - as off to Him we go.
