Build Them Up
Build them up
Knock them down
Village, city
House and town
Human beings
Primitive apes
Psychotic minds
No escapes
Huge expense
Complete waste
Madness reigns
Dangers faced
Shells fired
Bombs dropped
Bullets fly
Insults swapped
Lies spoken
Power struggle
Lives lost
Families broken
Build them up
Knock them down
Village, city
House and town
Opher 22.2.2022
There is a major flaw in human nature. We are forever at war. We always think it’s the easy solution. We have to assert ourselves violently.
We elect belligerent leaders.
We like inflicting pain.
We think violence is alright.
Periodically we destroy each other and ourselves.
Just think what a world we could build if all the money spent on this endless war machine was spent on education and eradicating poverty. Just think.
This is madness.
There is no excuse.
This is really madness.
We build things up and we destroy them.
We terrify each other and traumatise generations.
There can be no excuse.
It is madness.
