We Must Change Our Ways

Why are there people in the world Whose sole perpose is to kill and destroy When there is so much to be thankful for. It is beyond my comprehension! Is this the way it's suppose to be Or has our civilization run off the rails Until one day, everything comes crashing down Around us and we destroy this wonderful Planet Earth forever! There has always been conflict... it's the way of the world But now we seem to be heading down a path That is leading us to extinction It's not too late! Call me a dreamer if you will But in spite of all the hatred in the world I still believe, man will eventually acknowledge the futility And end this tragic pattern of destruction We not only should have a brighter future But we MUST change our ways! © Jack Ellison 2014

So many happenings and wars in the world.I am hoping this bloodshed won't be waste for nothing but to learn from it,to work more united for peace,and to help places taste the true freedom of their believes.Amen to your poem.So much to ponder about.Powerful message to change our ways .

I keep telling Dragon that he MUST change his ways. He has the destructive force of a level 5 tornado. Grandpa Troll said, not to worry. He'll out grow it, eventually. In the mean time the Elven King keeps spellin the forest to protect his trees! Poor Elf King! Yesterday Dragon hit one and the Elven King fell out of that tree! He had a word with Dragon, rather delicately. Try landing in the lake instead! But Dragon got stuck in mud and the water levels down. Back to the trees! All the fish said!
