Humanity's Battle

Humanity's Battle

"For we ar not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual host of wickedness in heavenly places."

Ephesians 6:12

Humanity's battle
isn't against itself,
our adversaries are the forces of disunity
that govern the planet today.

Humanity's battle
is against the dominion of hate,
the duchy of fear,
the forces of anti-evolution,
that oppose an ever advancing civilization.

Humanity's battle
is against the troops of prejudice,
that isolate
by color and hue
the species of humanity.

Humanity's battle
is against the legions of darkness,
that separate
by doctrine and dogma
the religion of God.

Humanity's battle
is against the battalions of nationalism,
that segregate
by flag and ethnic origin
the citizens of Earth.
