Humans Destroying Human Settlements

Humans destroying human settlements. This is an integral part of war. The war of two neighboring governments! You'll be forgiven for asking what for! Beautiful buildings are hollow shells. Tangled rubble lies all around; There are no parks, streets or malls. Everything's been razed to the ground! Delicate women crying in the streets, Children weaned from education! Men want to see who the other defeats. There's a destroying of all construction! You'll be told this is politics. Quarrels and issues between peoples. Some would say semantics. Pride based intractable squabbles! An alien scanning planet Earth Would see an interesting phenomenon: A species that, when feeling wrath, Destroys its dwellings with wild abandon!
