CAST NOT THE FIRST STONE

DOES VENGEANCE OR PEACE AMONGST ENEMIES GROW

WHEN RIVERS OF BLOOD CONTINUE TO FLOW?

THE WAR THAT IS RAGING YOUR BLOOD HAS NOT SPILLED,

BUT YOUR TROOPS WILL BE SOON AMONG THOSE WHO ARE KILLED.

WHAT LESSONS, DEAR CHILDREN, HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM THE PAST

WHEN THE FIRST STONE AMONGST YOU IN ANGER WAS CAST?

WHO THEN, MY DEAR CHILDREN, DID THE VICTORY CLAIM?

THE ONE WHOSE BLOOD FLOWED OR THE ONE WHO TOOK AIM?

HOW MANY, DEAR CHILDREN, ARE THEN LEFT AMONGST YOU

THAT STILL RESPECT LIFE AS MY SON TAUGHT YOU TO?

INDEED THERE ARE FEWER THAN EVER BEFORE;

THAT IS WHY, MY DEAR CHILDREN, THERE IS NO END TO WAR.

DISASTERS DO NOT SEEM YOUR HEARTS TO AFFECT

BECAUSE THE WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN YOU DO NOT RECOLLECT.

WILL YOU WAIT TILL THE STARS FROM THE SKY START TO FALL

BEFORE YOU CONCEDE AND ACKNOWLEDGE MY CALL?

THE WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU SOON WILL END

IF MANKIND CONTINUES MY SON TO OFFEND.

IF MANKIND CANNOT LIVE TOGETHER IN PEACE,

THEN THE LIFE MAN HAS LIVED ON THIS EARTH WILL SOON CEASE.
