War

initiated

mostly by evil and greed,

it kills the masses . . .

a cost deemed insignificant

by the world’s puppet masters

This is very good Andrea...succinct and true. I'm looking for examples of your contest form...tank-a-crostic? I thought I'd be under tanka but perhaps you labeled it acrostic? <3

The law of this land is, "Keep shareholders happy!" The USA is the world largest manufacturer of arms and spends millions to promote conflict around the world to increase sales and profits. Who cares that a drone killed a family in Afghanistan instead of terrorists? The whole world saw an American drone is more effective than land mines, and they can buy them from us, or through Saudi Arabia, and that makes shareholders happy, so you are right on target, Andrea! Aloha!

On point. Sad how secret societies control the world.

Many have a cause unworthy…truly anything not under the banner of God is for evil and greed.

How sad but true ... how little a human life is worth through the eyes of greed and need for power. Well written Tanka, Andrea. Thanks for sharing. Bill
