Sense Sonnet - Acher

 God's Children

The children of God be born in

The Holy Land torn up in war.

The children learn to hate and sin.

Cycle goes on forevermore.

Hateful wars be fought in God's name.

All sides believe their cause is right.

Children be taught which side to blame,

Used as tools so peace never might

Be given a true chance to grow.

Lessons of war and hate and sin

Are all God's children ever know.

None of God's children ever win.

Of God's children, some die, some live.

All God's children, God does forgive.
