             Give war a chance

Good and evil showed up to the dance
And all we are saying is give war a chance

A chance to fight the evil inside
That left all alone will just try and hide

Bitterness and hatred cast their mean glance
And all we are saying is give war a chance

The chance and the means to fight righteously
To let right prevail and to cause wrong to flee

The enemies of freedom were all set to prance
And all we were saying was give war a chance

Right is not right when behind the walls
Wrong is dug in and tyranny calls

The cannons of truth must signal the sign
That soldiers of mercy, have just draw the line

Peace has prevailed and broken the trance
And all that we said was…give war a chance

 This poem was inspired by something Damon Grant shared in our meeting in April of 2011. It is not a political poem it is a spiritual poem dealing with the things that might be hidden inside. Damon shared that those things must first be dealt with before true peace can take place. We must take sword to enemies hidden behind the walls of our heart and then we can have true peace.
