Out over many spaces
Dresden smoke, still burned up oxygen.
Seems that no one had learned  lessons,
The world was still in flames.

New war raged on Armistice day-
Two thousand and five,
And the people ignored
The words of the sage;
The "War to end all wars"
Still raged.

Fires joined hands, flame to flame,
Ignorance poured from religious pitch-men-
Society  stood shocked, aghast and amazed,
But no one admitted their God was to blame.

A giant Cyclops ruled by size,
But tiny demons, trapped in its cave,
Sharpened stakes in the rising fire;
Hardening points in emanate rays
Radiating from a pyramids eye;

Sharp thorns to push through soldiers hearts,
Because they thought the giants green-God
Had invaded their personal Gods holy space.

Intending to cut off the head of a snake,
Each hissed out ANNUIT COEPTIS;
To dilute poison that flowed from its face,
That was stored  in thought, in hidden vials
Of  NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM.
*
Both sides being wrong, the fight went on,
Both sides saying themselves were right;
They killed each other in low fashioned ways,
While their people forgot (a collective amnesia)
The original reason, for the high-holy day.

Note:
ANNUIT COEPTIS translates as "He (God) has favored our undertakings,"
NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM translates as "A new order of the ages,"

Ford,

One would think
that after all of humankind's history...

we would learn
from man's mistakes...

Thank you for this...
