What Is It Good For

Why is it
that we suppose
we are the superior being?
When all we do
is cause death and destruction,
that's all that I am seeing!
We go to school,college,uni
and listen to teachers teach
but when will we stop all war
and practice what they preach?
If you listen to Edwin Starr
his message was simple and right.
As far as I can see,
it really does no good
when all we do is fight.

Ian Jones August 5, 2015 at 11:11 AM When communication fails, when the agenda is one of power and control instead of the press releases rhetoric. Media enhanced mistrust and hatred creates the fertile ground for war. The frustration of want manipulated by the power hungry creates fertile ground for war. Ask people why they are really fighting and they cannot answer. The silent, disgusted need to mobilise rather than observe. Liked this. Kind regards, Ian
