A Commandment
In these times of conflict
people are killed by the day.
Bullets and explosions
claim the lives of many.
Revenge is high on the agenda
for the reason to kill.
Mercy takes a back seat
as terror reigns.
I was once a soldier
many years ago.
I am now mature in years
and am a pacifist.
One of the ten commandments
says
“Thou shalt not kill”.
Is there any part of this
that people do not understand?
The words and the message
are simple.
These words of scripture
resonate in my soul.
