Observations todays world, one thought, just observation, no moral stand, no value judgement.

Since the beginning of time,
man has taken from man.
There is always a desire to
have what the other guys got.

Since the beginning institutions,
men justify taking what belongs
to other men.

Like gangs on our streets,
countries band together for
protection and justification,
for taking what belongs to others.

The wants of one out weighs
the needs of others.
In this country,
we use up the rest
of the world resources.

We are the king
of the hill;
standing tall for
the next person
to take a whack at.

My country right or wrong,
my life style,
be like me if you are
strong enough.

Take what you want,
live the good life,
set the bar,
whatever it takes.

Not just a few
but everyone is entitled.
You don’t need
to work for it, just take,
might makes right.

Words are written.
History sets the stage.
I defend my right to this life.
Fear forces me to take drastic steps.

War is the outcome
of years creating a life that is not
supported by the work done.

You threaten my safety, you can hurt me, I will hurt you first. My gang against your gang. Nobody wins, but I make you less of a threat to my way of life.
Death comes, the value of life, small cost for living comfortable, what are a few sons and daughters, I can always have more.

A mother cries,
A father dies,
A soldiers tries
Their life is hard

My life or yours
No compromise
Outcome is war
