violence

Is violence necessary or just a lack of enlightenment? Does it come from within or from a tragic environment? Maybe it's passion that incites and inspires it an appetite of entitlement that can spread like a virus when the desires of men ignite & catch fire in a climate of sin. But why does violence exist? Well, the science is this: it’s a glitch in our system that no one’s trying to fix!
Don’t deny that it is. Close your eyes & pretend that it's an ironclad fist that slowly tightens its grip around the throat of the weak & those that meekly resist! See, our species is tempted by primordial lust. Instinctively seeking 2 destroy & corrupt. Just think of extinction & all the creatures we've crushed under the weight of our selflessness
without an inkling of what we've done to the planet, such irreversible damage.
Is all humanity cursed? Not if a person has chances, if your circuits are jammed,
we can rework the mechanics. Don't be a merchant of death or a murderous bandit.
Instead of more blood, let's spill some hurt on the canvas. I see the Earth as our campus, but we're not learning the answers. So concerned with the cancer, we stopped researching the grander truth that's involved tho we'll closely examine the phantom roots of its cause.
Due to Newton's Law, the fruit don’t fall 2fa r from its tree, à la Adam & Eve the Garden of Eden. Symbolically speaking, we think that a piece of the apple was evil & she swallowed its seed, then gave birth to a demon the Serpent, offspring of murder & treason! We’ve nurtured this thesis for 1000s of seasons & tho it's unfounded & cloudy in reason, our leaders still count on us sheeple
to deeply believe it! Cos freedom ain't free
unless people are bleedin. The secret of kingdoms is deceitful yet genius! A feasible act
if you read of our past Like Medieval France
, Feudal Japan, or the Spanish Armada
That crossed the Atlantic to rule the new land through armies infected. That's hardly a lesson on the carnage we've caused,
We've sharpened our weapons & gnawed off our claws, barbaric in essence,
we're less than a dog. Yet, think that we're better Til dolphins evolve & make us their pets for all of our flaws! No mazel tov y’all! We did not accomplish a semblance of peace in the Age of Pisces; we swam the high seas full of sodium chloride & salty sardines, which affected our vision of who we could be, thus ignorance & violence became our I.D.
But the time of Aquarius has finally arrived & if violence continues Homosapien dies...
