There’s nothing Civil or Holy

about any War-

vicious, malicious,

insane cruelties

people justify or ignore.

Destructive Aggressions,

Oppressions, Suppressions,

Greed for Power through Weapons-

Resource Acquisitions-

Blood Sacrifices

as in primitive times before,

lives sacrificed

as in ancient times before,

even God’s Names used

as in every War before.

When will we all leap

from this Uncivilized State

of Unevolved Species?

What we do to others,

sooner or later, becomes our Fate.

Must we even

‘be what we’re not’

for the right

‘to be what we are’

until we outgrow

our History of War???
