the savage wars of peace

when hell's unleashed and on every height
we see the flash of guns and hear bombs blast
we're thrown as it were into unburied past
when all that mattered was just simple might
excused as being a bringing towards the light
of savage folk who'd been in darkness cast
now breathing in clean freedom's air at last
freed from their long and horrid years of fright
and yet the dogs ungrateful for the gift
resist in every manner their new liberation
and to their earlier state seek to revert
between them and us is an eternal rift
demon-driven they want to reject salvation
we'll master them so what if they are hurt
