Hark, and hear the thunder roar
Look and see the lightning flash
Nay.. nay I say.. tis not Zues nor Thor you hear
Tis I ..... Ares, God of War
The flash of shot , the roar of cannon,
Another madman off to mammon
Ravage and rape and pilage the land
Kill every one and destroy all that you can
These Attilas, Hitlers, Bonapartes and such
They kill and ruin all they touch
Tis for God and country many say
Or for freedom or religion we fight this day
Since time began, tis the same old story
They start these wars for their own glory
Some will perish, with there lot
Others will flee away , only to arise again to kill some other way
Since stone and lance, arrow and bow
Now planes and rockets, and the mighty bomb
These toys of death you use to kill
To taunt or bend others to your will
All these things you use to no avail
You war and die and go away
Yet thru the ages I will travail
I'll be here forever and ever and maybe a day
So war and kill , enjoy your lust
Slay your neighbor if you must
Yet one last war must be done
Its called the Battle of Armagedon
When the lord will come from heaven on high
Destroy all your armies and all you evil men will die
He'll reign in peace for a thousand year
Naught will know of war or fear
To Olympus I will return
For this is where to be I yearn
Upon the mount I'll spread my fleece
There I'll rest for a millenium of peace
I'll drink the nectar of the gods
I'll sit and look down upon the world
I'll sing praises to the God of Gods
And bless the peace he has unfurled
I am Ares........... God of War
A poem: by Jerry Brown
bless the lord for giving me the power to write these words
