Stop the Steel
They warred and warred
for years and years
destroying lives
and causing tears.
Said the people
with a righteous zeal:
"Stop this madness.
Stop the steel."
And the swords were thrown away.
They built and built
for years and years
cities that stacked
in endless tiers.
Said the people
with a mighty peal:
"Stop this madness.
Stop the steel."
And the Earth was embraced as home.
They raced and raced
for years and years
with trains and cars
from engineers.
Said the people
with a need to heal:
"Stop this madness.
Stop the steel."
And the engines all went silent.
With steel gone, a peace then grew,
And folks connected with those they knew.
And trees grew tall and skies turned blue,
And songs arose, and spirits flew.
And then they saw what was always true,
And they dreamed a dream and built anew.
They warred and warred
for years and years
destroying lives
and causing tears.
