Survival Is the Fittest

Behold! Folks battle against 
piety,race and land 
Compatriots breath last 
at our feet in war field 
Most discerning creatures 
survived on Earth for ages 
What unfortunate genes we possessed 
behave us brutal shameless beasts 
Let's build our path to forever exist 
like one tribe on this mother planet 
Declare a flawless hope for successions 
getting rid of our greed with arrogance 
Let's link our hands together as one voice 
war against poverty, pollution and epidemics

my sentiments exactly written by you...some,i suppose,would think it a fallacy,to even think of the possibility,and yet,only by the opposition of peace,do we find those whom are more inclined to war...why ?...war makes money,in a peaceful state,abides sharing...the greedy doesn't share anything....nicely stated write....peace , jay
