Unadulterated Evil

What do we get from battles and war, Nothing, a no-win score Causing war is a sin, Not to be entered in, Pain and suffering felt by all Soldiers' backs against a wall Where evil and corruption thrive Struggling to stay alive It was not in their life plan To shoot or maim their fellow man All aspects of life are lost At an unaccountable cost. All who live in the war zone Feel devastated, lost alone And those of us who are standing by Unable to help but pray and cry Needless the loss of kith and kin What is there left to win? Nothing because there will be nothing left Both countries and man will become bereft, Evil reigns, sad to say Has this monster come to stay Perhaps we all have much to learn Before we see this Devil burn.

Yes, we have much to learn. And it's time to learn it and apply it. How about this: Let's defeat evil. We have the ability; we just need the will to do it... Annihilate Hamas and Hezbollah. Then Iran. Assassinate Putin. Will the evil return? Sure, but not for a generation or two. It's been a constant now ever since 9/11, what with Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Yasir Arafat, Sadam Hussein, ISIS, Bashar Assad, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and of course, PUTIN. Enough is enough. Time to assert ourselves and go for not just the win, but the dismantling of the infrastructure. Thanks for your thought-provoking write, my friend. :) gw
