War Came

The War in heaven is in the heart.

War came for Palestine

- and I did nothing -

because I was not Palestinian.

War came for Israel

- and I did nothing -

because I was not Israeli.

War came for America

- and I did nothing -

because I was not American.

War came for Mexico

- and I did nothing -

because I was not Mexican.

War came for Europe

- and I did nothing -

because I was not European.

War came for Russia

- and I did nothing -

because I was not Russian.

War came for Africa

- and I did nothing -

because I was not African.

War came for India

- and I did nothing -

because I was not Indian.

War came for Korea

- and I did nothing -

because I was not Korean.

War came for China

- and I did nothing -

because I was not Chinese.

War came for Vietnam

- and I did nothing -

because I was not Vietnamese.

War came and I did nothing

for I am neither of those...

Then one day,

War came for the Philippines

and now,

I couldn't do a thing.

- selah -

My brothers and sisters of the Promise -

When War comes - repel it!
At the door of thy heart - hear it not!

Throw back its lies to its face

and make it drink its own poison.

For when the spirit of War

seeks to enter our world

it is through the human heart

- willing or unaware -

that it gains an entrance.

If you know War,

you know Peace.
