No Title

ve lived many years on this tortured world Read many books on history and scriptures too all through milennia wars are venerated despite attrocitie being commited. Nothing changes ,nothing achieved, except death and despair ,cruelty abounds. What makes a soldier, an ordinary man, become an evil predator to commit sick crimes, Following orders doesnt wash away the stain, as headless bodies lie in the rain. Leaders act as if immune to all that causes pain. yet descions are made by cowardly ones. We hear excuses that cover their ways, populaces are convinced of their right falling prey to deceit and lies. Propaganda machines working over time, spreading hate and bile to uneducated , easily led of those that cannot think. At years end we hear the cry "Peace on Earth" may all be blessed as more bodies laid to rest, Religions,ideaologies,greed ,mind sets must all pass, Never will they as long as unfounded hate,sectarianism, tribalism,still exists to prod and goad mindless freaks, We all are human but in different guise, encouraged to seek some nameless prize, Only one path it is written, unfollowed ye will be smitten, fear driven by fictitious claim, a place reserved of joy and hame, Peace like a river is all we seek, perfect to strengthen those who are weak, All are made from stardust it is said, as those who came millenia passed, Andrew provan McIntyre.
