A Friend

War;……equals man.
And his never ending quest to dominate or destroy everything he can.

Peace;…..equals man.
A chance to reflect all the damage caused from his previous plan.

Greed, envy, hate, the guiding light that starts the ball to roll.
Where power and control are the ultimate goal.

Love, honor, respect given equally is the key that will halt a cycle that needs to find an
end.
A stop to the madness, I long for the day when we can all be simply just a friend.

I agree with Vince on this one - We have done nothing but rape, kill and pillage each other from the beginning of time and I see no end in the future - In fact I personally believe all hell is about to break lose - God Bless
