Violent Nature
From the pang's of birth
to the throe's of death
when has any in nature
experienced true peace?
There just happens to be
an acceptable amount of violence,
but when do we find it,unacceptable?
A mighty conqueror on approach
turns to one of his commander's
and remark's....
"if I walk into this city and kill one person
i'm considered a murderer....
but,if I march in and massacre all
i'll be proclaimed a great conqueror,
go figure......"
Yes,go figure....
cause and effect
can exact a heavy price
the rise and fall of empire's
is not a new invention of term's....
When hasn't an indigenous person
or for that matter,any immigrant,
not feel the sting of exploitation,
in any country,at any time in history,
slavery from the beginning of time....
Still,as in nature,the animal kingdom
continue's through natural selection,
since,we human's sit at the top
without any real predator's a threat,
we find ourselve's preying on eachother
becoming our own worst enemy....
I wonder if this is the grand design ??
