'The war to end all wars' they said
It surely proved a lie-- The fields of mainland Europe red, Nearly forty million lying dead-- How many more must die? For twenty years a world shell-shocked Dwelt in uneasy peace But Nazi hate the gate unlocked One night now known as Kristallnacht-- The 'dogs of war' unleashed. The hordes of Hitler's hell-bent rage Obsessed with crazed resolve Tread Europe down in mad rampage, The armies of the world engage-- All nations soon involved. Great cities levelled, vapourised-- The H-bomb devastates-- A world men thought was civilised By blood and carnage undisguised-- Eighty million lives laid waste. Since then many millions more have died In an avalanche of hate; In conflagrations far and wide An obvious and fearsome slide-- Apocalyptic state. What future can we postulate In devastation's wake? Will war and conflict yet abate? Or could it be this is checkmate? God Himself will undertake. Such birthpangs prophets long foretold Consummating in our day. Remember God is in control And though the love of men grows cold God's Word is underway. In dust and death see figtree grow Despite the 'dogs of war' As prophesied so long ago A sign to let His people know The Lord is at the door. He warned--'Let not your love grow cold Though lawlessness abound' The Word of truth by faith uphold, Let love and joy rule in your soul-- Soon, we'll be homeward bound. By Vincent Lyons.
