War.
Down the ages,
Every race,
Every nation,
Every tribe,
Has fought,
Waged war,
And died.
History littered
With forts,
Castles
And citadels.
Graveyards
Crammed
With crosses
And tombs.
Nations bled dry
By cost
Loss
And defence.
Cities burnt,
Pillaged,
Flattened
And destroyed.
People tortured,
Maimed,
Starved
And traumatised.
Madness from a genetic flaw.

There is no hope for us as a species. We are all imbued with this lust for violence, this yearning for power and greed for more.
Instead of love we are ensnared in hate, petty tribalism and a sense of superiority. We have to impose our views on others.
There is no hope.
