My will

And there I found myself.
Sitting upon my horse looking down on the battle below.
The idiots that decided they'd rather kill each other rather than talk with, learn from and get along with each other.

'What are they fighting about this time' I wondered as I looked to the guard standing next to me.
"They seem to be fighting over the meaning of the message you spread the last millennia mylord".
'Message? I spread? A millenia ago.. "you mean how no human is worth more than anyone else and that their actions alone determines their worth?".
"....Yes mylord".
'I'm stunned. Over and over again have I done my best to try and get all races and species to get along with each other.. Over and over again have I mistakenly thought that I've succeeded, over and over again have corruption, greed and general jealousy taken root no sooner than I've left it in their hands and in 2 generations, sometimes less has they poisoned the entire society and turned once beautiful cities of art and learning to cesspools with slave markets and brothels in every street corner.'

"Would you say that you know my will?"
"I think I have an understanding of it mylord"
"Would you think that this is something I'd want?" I asked while sweeping my hand over the scene below.
"No mylord"
"Do you know what your place in our military is?"
"To enforce your will on the world mylord"

"See it done, report after" I said as I turned my horse around and started making my way back to our camp as I heard the order to charge was shout out and millions horses with their riders charged down the slope and crashed into both warring parties.

That night, both armies ceased to exist and at least on that field, the calm had been restored yet again.
