War is a dangerous devil,

Which must be put to death,

It is of all the worst peril,

That is destroying the earth,

To kill if one has a real skill,

God loses joy over one's birth,


Avoid a war that causes a calamity,

Void is life if there is no equanimity,

Annoyed is God if man has enmity,


Waging a war is an egregious blunder,

Which a power-monger must realize,

War means playing against thunder,

After uttering to the Lord damn lies,

To love, we are sent by the Sender,

God watches, but cheats our eyes!
