history
filled with war
raids on seacoasts
the siege of cities
thousands killed
enslaved
for the glory
of power hungry leaders
yesterday

Recall the TV commercial years ago with two men getting ready to fist fight, and the caption read, “Wouldn’t it be great if all wars could be settled like this?”
That’s the old fight of champions idea. Like David & Goliath.
To be sure!
Since the dawn of humanity, we have killed more of our own than any species in the history of Life.
Yes, we’re real masters at that, aren’t we?
Talk, talk that is all they do, while others have to give their lives.
Always the pawns and the innocent suffer.
Yes that certainly is correct.
To my thinking there is no need for war. This planet is full of resources, many of them not even yet tapped or utilized. Every single war that has ever been fought is about finding a way to enslave people and get them to do the bidding of the rich and powerful. Every single war is about this, no exception.
Now, because of our vast technology, for the first time in human history, we have the ability to get smart, unite and wake up. Peace IS our option.
Great poem!!!
Let us hope so.
That’s the truth. Power hungry people=death, in one way or another.
Unfortunately.
History is a series of reruns like old TV shows. Around and around it goes, the same ole, same ole, ad nauseum! 😦
One could always elect not to watch, though that doesn’t do much good, either.
Nope it doesn’t😁
the words come easy…..the change, no so.
So true.
This is so true. Its ridiculous how corrupt this world is. My blog is all about stuff like this.. Amazing post.
Thank you. I’ll visit to take a look.
