Stop the Killing

A poem about wars fought in the name of religion
Onward Christian Solders
Marching on to war
With the cross of Jesus
Like they’ve done before
Seems like all they’ve done now
For two thousand years
Killing other people
Leaving them in tears
Deadly religious wars
Have all been the rage
For at least 2 millennia
Someone get some sage
Stop the bloody killing
Someone sue for peace
Figure out a solution
Maybe take a knee
