"Too long the destroyers have worked their will,
Sound for the last, the last of the wars."
from The Trumpet Call by Alfred Noyes
What is God doing with time
with technology getting more complex
and weapons of mass destruction now in line
to turn whole countries into wrecks?
God is letting us destroy ourselves.
"I have met the enemy; it is us," Pogo said.
Weapon makers are not Santa's elves.
If we don't get some sense, we'll all end up dead.
Author notes
This was inspired from reading Noyes in OldPoetry. Alfred Noyes was very much anti-war.
