Long Ago
Long ago,
Man fought man,
Face to face
With sword and spear.
Bravery and strength
Skill and tactics,
Were the things
To fear.
Now, a young skinny wimp
A thousand miles away,
Guides a drone,
Presses a button
And you’ve had your day.
Opher – 3.4.2022
Once we had a need for strong, brave, macho men; now they’re an embarrassment, a threat and a nuisance.
Nowadays we need intelligence, not brawn, empathy and compassion not violence.
In a modern world there is no room for the violent. We don’t need them; they’re obsolete!
