In 1793 the "Bard of Scotland," Mr. Robert Burns wrote this little piece that seems appropriate for this day and age. I find it somewhat comforting to see that even in the eighteenth century, we had the hypocrisy of war noticed by the literati of the time.
Robert Burns in my humble opinion, is one of the greatest poets of all time. He gets far too little attention outside of his native Scotland. If it wasn't for the fact that you have to read much of his work with a "Fat Bastard" type of accent, in order to get it, I think he would be much more recognized for the talent that he really was.
Without going much into the religious or political at this time, I will simply state what the great Robert Burns said so well in his poem "Thanksgiving for a National Victory."
Ye hypocrites! are these your pranks?
To murder men and give God thanks!
Desist, for shame!-proceed no further;
God won't accept your thanks for Murther!
Nuff Said
