Baptized in Blood

We disregard the sanctity of life
As the fields are baptized in blood
The grounds have become holy
Not because of sacred acts
But because of the sacrifice
The field, now empty, is quiet
For the violence became a flood
Fighting cowardly or boldly
Soldiers act
Taking a life is a painful task
As sorrows becomes rife
This human nature is violent
When peacemakers are silent
We've long ignored the truth
Brother Cain killed brother Abel
His actions forever after a stain
And sadly often reproduced
