Ok this poem is very somber, and is not the greatest for the season; unfortunately Our Idiot President got us into this unnecessary war, first due to Oil, then do to Halliburton and all it subsidiaries, so Cheney, Bush, and 100's of War Mongers can make tons of money by putting our young military men in the 'line of Fire'. The title of this poem is...... "WAR AND KILLING" by John M. Roberts Why, I've often asked myself, must people fight and kill; Will they ever stop, or go on, till everything is destroyed and all life is still. Don't they ever stop to think, that by destruction and killing, nothing will they ever gain; No matter what they feel is a worthy cause, all that will be, is grief, suffering and pain. Fighting in the jungles, on the grassy plain, or on the sand; Nothing is worth so much, that it would cause the death of even one woman, child or man. No reason that man can give, can be reason enough for all this strife; For no reason is good enough, to wantonly take another life. To bathe the earth with blood,where man once toiled; Will forever be remembered for, from now until eternity, the earth with man's greed and hate, will be soiled. If man always lives by hate and makes others feel his wrath; He will destroy everything and everyone, that happens to cross his path. If he would only stop to think, long enough to realize; That no matter what he gains, it's really worthless, if any person dies. I beg of you to heed these words, before it is too late; To feel love, compassion, and cast away from your mind and hearts, all those feelings of malice, avarice and hate. If you choose to go on with your killing, because it's an urge you cannot deny; then I suggest, that all of you who want war, gather together and kill yourselves, so that on one else will have to die. Sorry, but I just had to get it out, I hope maybe some people will read, understand and act......NOW. thank you.
