The situation in Zimbabwe, Nigeria and other parts of the world clearly shows that humanity is going through hell in the hands of unrepentant leadership. I am provoked to subject the general feeling that wagging war to rescure people and countries from unnecessary tyrany and outragous despotism is negative. I require an alternative that will not deliver the patriots into the bloody hands of the tyrant just after a roundtable dialogue that may be very risky and ellusive to schedule.
Dry injustice looms large Prowling the lives of men Ransacking the very breath That makes men human Cameras beap low Leaving off the criminals But sneaking into the pants To cut off freedom from patriots Criminals live large Walking the corridors of power unrepentant Seizing and welding the power That the people own indeed The air flys dry and low But green and watery indeed In the hearts of the few That dry up the lives of many In a commonwealth And I wonder and ponder aloud If war is indeed an option For I better die fighting for freedom Than die in the chains of a fellow mortal. Is War an option?

CHECK IT OUT SOMETIME.
ONE LOVE MOUNT ZINAI

War could be an option but the not the best one. It is sometimes called a necessary evil which should be carried out only when it is absolutely necessary. But in the case of sister Zimbabwe war is not an option. It will be the killing of a nation, sort of Somalia, if Zimbabwe goes to war with itself. Well done

Strong words, yet war is an option. It is an option that should be reserved for the very last, when all else has been tried and failed. It should never be used as a tool of power, as all humanity is at stake because of it....

Be always safe,
