Us versus
them.
Mountain
people
versus
valley
people.
Thinking
diffe­rently.
Downloaded
minds.
Different
ways,
customs.
Different
gods­.
Us versus
them.
The enemy.
Can’t be
trusted.
Power and
control.
War.
Fighting.
Many
die.
Civilizations
destroyed.
Tr­ials and
tribulations.
Treasure
spent for
weapons,
killing.
For what?
Good
versus
evil.
One man’s
villain,
another
man’s
hero.
Money
better spent.
Developing
bridges,
understanding.
Saving lives.
Lifting all
to a
better
place.
Afraid.
Fear,
ignorance.
Ruling,
calling
the plays.
Enlightenment
required
charting a
different,
better
way.
A hopeful
way.
Humanity’s
golden
path.
Hopefully
some day.
