Kill Or Be Killed

Things sure have taken an ugly turn But has anything really changed Or has it really been like this forever Since life has become rearranged A person's life means nothing in war Kill or be killed a wartime theme No reason for the conflict to begin with Rules for war are a pipe dream How did that ugly theme ever begin Maybe it was killing to survive But man has taken it past that point Maybe to keep a political party alive I'm a peace loving individual Really no question about that I love cats dogs and birds in the sky Have “Save The Animals” on my hat

Bless your heart, Jack. We're experiencing something that never should be. You'd think human beings would finally wise up!

Seems the Russian scum kill for pleasure and revenge. Hope that rat Putin has a slow painful death for what he's done. Tom
