But Why

I am the person, a human being I belong to a certain tribe by faith This is the field where I walk This is the home where I live In this pond, I bathe In this river I catch fish In this green forest, I wander listening to the song of birds Wherever I go in this world is mine, human Yes, you are the same who is opposite of me You may have chosen another tribe in the faith market But you are a person just like me, a human being In reality, we are not rivals From non-existence to existence to non-existence again- Our world is always awake in this rotation But why so many fights, so much violence So much hate and conflict, so bloody war! ©Mahtab Bangalee November 01, 2023 Chattogram

The lust for power, the greed for money, the desire to have what others have, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to get what each one of us wants. Being satisfied with what we each have as enough, takes away the need for fighting to get what we want from others. There's plenty for all of us on this planet. We don't have a resource problem; we have a distribution problem. Some want more than their share, and some will lie, cheat, and steal (even kill) to get what they want. IMHO, Bill

A question that can only be answered individually. I feel too much hate in this world. Blessings.
