So why do we rush in so fast? Man has come and gone, Seen countless wars pass, Bloodshed, violence, bombs and more, If there was a way to make this World a better place, we "need" war. If we could have chosen differently, Fear "forces our hand" every time to Go out and use destruction on the enemy. I sit here, dumbfounded and confused. No one will ever find these three things popular: Pacifism, love, patience. Yet without these we really lose.

How We All Lose (with war)
So why do we rush in so fast? Man has come and gone, Seen countless wars pass, Bloodshed, violence, bombs and more, If there was a way to make this World a better place, we "need" war. If we could have chosen differently, Fear "forces our hand" every time to Go out and use destruction on the enemy. I sit here, dumbfounded and confused. No one will ever find these three things popular: Pacifism, love, patience. Yet without these we really lose.
YES! Through all of the wars we've fought, especially over-seas, we have won NOTHING. It's an illusion, the illusion of CHANGE! Humankind is not growing through war, we've just gotten better at killing...
