How To Avoid the Blob

There is no need for blades of steel. Now, missiles and bombs do the job. To warmongers that has appeal. Man might someday be one big blob. Yes. Fighting commenced long ago. It started with Able and Cain. Cain killed with a rock, not a bow. Continuous envy … insane! There were wars before 1 B. C. The Battle of Kadesh was one. ‘Though it ended with a treaty, Bloodshed for power had begun. There was Alexander the Great. His thrusting spear won many wars. And the deaths never did abate. Killing is what Heaven abhors. There were Greek wars and Cretan War. Caesar’s Invasion of Britain, Roman Wars and the Chinese War. Enemies they would stab or Bludgeon. Weapons of war were of metal. Armor did not end the bloodshed. Back then, like now, death was brutal. Blood bathed killing in the world … spread. Back in the Eighteenth Century, Freedom and brotherhood converged. Engraved, a sword blade said boldly. Free people are brothers … life urged. Gone, all those years, yet, man still kills. Freedom has brought joy to many. Brotherhood builds a bond and thrills. Freedom gives its joy to any. Teach trust; then, live and love in peace. We must encourage and applaud. Anger and hatred has to cease. Each of us is a child of God. And that makes all of us brothers. There is no need for blades of steel. We must all love one another. Then, peace on Earth will become real. 1/16/2017 Inspired by the contest, the Contest: The Swords Speak
