Climate Philosophy

I've often heard,
Guns do not kill,
and people do.

I've often thought,
Words do not curse,
but people do.

Both are right
and wrong.

Our words
and guns
and uncivil enculturation,
bad habits
and addictions
fascinations
relentless Win/Lose competitions,
disenchantments
mutual divestments
despairing ego-centriments,
isolation
paranoia
xenophobia
homophobia
germophobia
racial phobia,
terror and terrorism
together curse
and kill.

Guns with owners
too often hear
words with full-volume cursing
swords
ballistic piercing kills

Any cooperatively owned and green-managed party,
political or otherwise.
