I wrote this because I am angered at the world and it' issues. I do not understand so many of the things happening today. Maybe it's not for me to understand but, I wish I could...
A quite day noone the wiser.
The gaurds sleep in silent slumber.
Waiting on someone to surprise her.
But, what if no war could kill like this.
Ending marriages and lives so full of bliss.
Killing babies before they take a breath.
Doom the human race to death.
Crush the lives of mighty men.
The question is...when does it end?
What if no battle could devistate
this world in it's weakened state?
Brother kill each other, why?
They shoot them and then watch them die.
Sex and violence on the streets.
Another man weds a wife to beat.
This world will fully one day deminish.
This is a fight we cannot finish.

That makes two of us, TJ; I've no doubt many others here also decry the violence of so-called humanity  I deeply fear you are right; it is indeed a fight we cannot finish... conversely, those who question that horrendous reality (such as you and I and others) are the ones who decrease the violence in our own small ways, who are there to help when help can be given, who are there to spread the alternative message and approach of compassion, kindness, gentleness... Will it be enough? I don't know... but until that final reckoning, I'll keep doing what I can to stem that black tide... working alongside and with you and many others... Wolf P.S. Well done, well expressed - and very pointed observations and questions... |

there is too much violence...and there is no end to it until we have a nuclear war and wipe out everyone, which isn't a desirable solution...great viewpoints...very well expressed!

I am deeply worried that one day the human race is going to kill itself from the outside in. Already our moral foundations are crumbling and sooner or later (hopefully never) we're going to send ourselves to oblivion.
Definitely, to the point and true to problems society is facing today. Nice write.

How are our moral foundations crumbling?
There have always been these things that we see now.
There has always been AIDS, cancer, rape and murder.
Nothing has changed. Will there be an end to it?
Well, it never stopped before...

Wow, you expressed what I think about each time I see horrible stories on the news like the things you wrote about. How can our world and our race let things like this happen? Some people out there are just way too cruel and sick. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be human because of what our race is doing...

You've taken my exact thoughts and wrote them in a very deep and powerful piece, TJ... Seriously, this was absolutely fantastic...
