the futility of war
ARES: GOD OF WAR

HARK,AND HEAR THE THUNDER ROAR
LOOK AND SEE THE LIGHTING FLASH
NAY..NAY I SAY.. TIS NOT ZUES NOR THOR YOU HEAR
TIS I …. ARES GOD OF WAR

THE FLASH OF SHOT, THE ROAR OF CANNON,
ANOTHER MADMAN OFF TO MAMMON
RAVAGE AND RAPE AND PILAGE THE LAND
KILL EVERYONE AND DESTROY ALL THAT YOU CAN

THESE ATTILA, HITLERS, BONAPARTES AND SUCH
THEY KILL AND RUIN ALL THEY TOUCH
TIS FOR GOD AND COUNTRY MANY SAY
OR FOR FREEDOM OR RELIGION WE FIGHT THIS DAY

SINCE TIME BEGAN, TIS THE SAME OLD STORY
THEY START THESE WARS FOR THERE OWN GLORY
SOME WILL PERISH WITH THERE LOT
OTHERS WILL FLEE AWAY, ONLY TO RISE AGAIN TO KILL SOME OTHER WAY

SINCE STONE AND LANCE,ARROW AND BOW
NOW PLANES AND ROCKETS AND THE MIGHTY BOMB
THESE TOYS OF DEATH YOU USE TO KILL
TO TAUNT OR BEND OTHERS TO YOUR WILL

ALL THESE THING YOU USE TO NO AVAIL
YOU WAR AND DIE AND GO AWAY
YET THRU THE AGES I WILL TRAVAIL
I’LL BE HERE FOREVER AND EVER AND MAYBE A DAY

SO WAR AND KILL, ENJOY YOUR LUST
SLAY YOUR NEIGHBOR IF YOU MUST
YET ONE LAST WAR MUST BE DONE
ITS CALLED THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDON

WHEN THE LORD WILL COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN ON HIGH
DESTROY ALL YOUR ARMIES AND ALL YOU EVIL MEN WILL DIE
HE’LL REIGN IN PEACE FOR A THOUSAND YEAR
AND NAUGHT WILL KNOW OF WAR OR FEAR

TO OLYMPUS I WILL RETURN
FOR THIS IS WHERE TO BE I YEARN
UPON THE MOUNT I’LL SPREAD MY FLEECE
THERE I’LL REST FOR A MILLENIUM OF PEACE

I’LL DRINK THE NECTAR OF THE GODS
I’LL SIT AND LOOK DOWN UPON THE WORLD
I’LL SING PRAISES TO THE GOD OF GODS
AND BLESS THE PEACE HE HAS UNFOLD

I AM ARES…….. GOD OF WAR


THIS IS A POEM WRITTEN BY JERRY BROWN
WRITTEN IN APRIL 2004


PRAISE THE LORD FOR GIVING ME THE POWER TO WRITE THE WORDS
AMEN
