an unanswered question, a plea

Where do soldiers go,
when they die...?

When Cain spilled first blood
defying brotherhood,
in anger black and bitter
did it's poison taint forever
that which was once
Holy ground...?

Were the seeds of hatred
at the same time created
sown beside compassion,
it's roots of self destruction
choking out the blooms of
Tolerance...?

We put guns in young men's hands
send them off to foreign lands
trained to kill, and ignore
what Your own son died for,
should he kill...or die
should he question...why

How do You judge forever,
on this soul...?

When they cry out Your name
( Thou Shalt Not Kill )
through the bullets and the flames
( Thou Shalt Not Kill )
do You hear...?
do You Suffer...?
Do You forgive...?

Where do soldiers go,
..................when they die ?
