Topic: war

Moving forward to find ourselves even further behind. One step in the wrong direction till were falling out of place. The horizon looks brightest just a head. But the smoke were leaving in our wake will surely black it out again. How can we promise growth when we can't learn from scars. History was written and so it shall re write the same lines. Now were reading words scribbled down before. Arrogant and ignorant to all the truth we've ignored. If we are the civilized why do we kill for more. Territories drawn out as dotted lines on some old dusty map. Why do we feel it so hard to live as one mass. All the picket signs wave reading war for peace. When will we be old enough to understand the men who fall defending their believe. Would today rise to tell us all where this path of blood really leads. War only begets war.

Very thought provoking write.
I'm sure you have reasons for this write and for the most part I agree but u said, {When will we be old enough to understand the men who fall defending their believe. Would today rise to tell us all where this path of blood really leads}
In other words that makes me realize that sometimes there are circumstances That force war. I also believe the fallen soldiers would have no choice there and they are saved by the Grace of God that belongs to all that do or don't claim it.
Of course I NO LONGER PRACTICE RELIGION. cause God is love and that's where it starts and ends.
hUGGS, blessings, happy holidays,
emy
Then as i SAID IT'S VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING AND THAT'S Only one reason I like it.
