Winds of Change

‘Winds of Change’ is a little thing that was inspired by war throughout the ages, from swords and shields to tanks and bullets, man always fights and reasons always appear, Religion, land and resource

Swords clash and shields buckle,

Man vs. Man, God on God, Christian to Saracen.

The word of God takes many forms

But I doubt the all mighty would approve.

We slaughter them and they slaughter us,

It will never change; The world will never change.

Man moved from sword to rifle, arrow to bullet;

Horse to tank and catapult to howitzer.

It will never change; The world will never change.

With fire and men the forces collide,

The dead litter and the living mourn

The only people to see wars end.

For God, land or resource mankind fails

It will never change; Mankind will never feel the Winds of Change.
