Wars and Weapons
Wars.
Who cares about what happens?
Every one of them are brutal.
Every one of them are PAINFUL.
We quietly wait,
to ambush enemies.
We’ve been
introduced
to a deadly weapon.
It is
sharper
and scarier than,
a diamond-back rattlesnake.
A sword.
Wars can wait thousands of years.
We come up with a new inventory
of weapons.
Deadly,
like Hell’s fire.
It was life saving to us.
Customised to destroy enemies.
So complex to
KILL
instantly.
It was life saving to us.
But deadly to the
next generation.
Guns would soon
be the
BANE
of
humanity’s
existence.

I feel like this is so true. We have been addicted addicted to violence. So many accidental shootinga and meaningless wars. It makes me sad and I think about this situation every day when I wake up.
