Live by the sword, die by the sword--not my wise words

   
   "Live by the sword, die by the sword--not my wise words"
    
Muster your anger and madness at the sublime, Living Christ;
He claimed those words eternally--more than twice.
The former Soviet Union had over 20,000,000 causalities during World War 2,
And Stalingrad offered more resistance, some say, than D-Day's brave hue;
Still, no disrespect to the European-Americans (mostly) that were soldiers,
For they were truly patriotic rollers--
I spent many years in Catholic School with Sarge Stipsky--
A Vietnam hero adoring whiskey--
He was a Green Beret;
He drove a Chevrolet--
Told us teens about the macabre horrors of war,
Just as it will be with Babylon's Whore.
And Kennedy on opiates, marijuana, anti-anxiety medicine; plus, booze
Was completely cognizant and cool--to the Russians he didn't in outer space lose.
Yet like Reagan informed the deaf Nations,
Offering up our petty differences as stupid relations,
Mentioning a galactic threat,
Saying further they were already here and we have met.
ISIL too believes in the coming of Jesus Christ,
So why don't the Abrahamic religions unite?
