BEHIND THE LINES OF CIVIL WAR

Civil war is where the enemy lines are on the same field.
To accept we can both be wrong is where we can start to heal.
What say you my friend or foe, for who is to know in the end?
On we all must go, so trust in God on whom we all depend.
In all wars there are choices that soldiers must make now and then…
Like is it right and why should we kill our fellow country men.
If a soldier crosses Gods will and his there is a chance,
To escape from the professional automatic response,
If the choice was to kill or be killed or to kill and be killed
How the thoughts would spill into your head.
Like is this what God willed?
But what if instead of killing there was a chance you could save…
Would you observe and follow rules and do what orders they gave?
