Sticks and Stones...

While I sit here and type, the world becomes enthralled in war and dementia of violence.
I should feel concerned, but to me, this is just another faze of lack of human conscience.
So why am I writing about such trivialities such as war? It's because I have a few things to say.
Just listen, if you have the time. We have come to a crossroad, so remember this day.
We have to decide if what we do is just or not. We need to see all of the sides.
There will be bloody murder, violence and unwavering, relentless pursuit that war abides.
This is one version of the story, though. We have to see why we are doing this.
We are fighting for the freedom of life, however harsh that life may kiss.
So, to me, the world is just ignoring the pleas of the few wise of the lands.
This could be the end, so enjoy the show and, at the end, clap your hands.
But never forget that we are mere mortal, and life is the most precious thing to behold.
All wars destroy and decimate, but the 'leaders' in this conflict just can't be told.
Appreciate the fact that you are one of the few knowledgeable to see this losing defiance.
And appreciate that you can see the world's slow destruction by this collective alliance.
In the immortal words of Albert Einstein, I find truth as this world achingly groans.
'I don't know what World War 3 will be fought with, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones...'
