War!

war!
mankind's fear
lashing out at

the heart of mankind....
small minded thoughts
governing universal infinity....

the failure to feed
a hungry man's hunger,
bringing about the need

to kill him!
the blindness that keeps
us from seeing ourselves

in each other.....
the arrogant greed of the few,
the inhumane answer....

war.....
never brings the intended result....
war.....

the profit machine,
trading lives for control!
war!

the wrong choice,
failure, and loss!
war!
