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...
