War Winds

winds of war have flow over earth
since mankind was old enough to 
fight with their hands and later with
sticks and stones and even later with
spears, bows and arrows...  males
have always wanted to kill other
males for pleasure rather than out
of necessity...  other animals kill to
survive but not human beings...
we kill out of greed and our lust
for power and control...  and if it
is not us doing the killing, then
it is our proxies - young males
and females in their prime with
nothing better to do that to join
the military and be sent to kill;
our religious beliefs be damned
when it comes to killing as faith
has nothing to do with war yet has
been the reason for it over thousands
of years or more...  our Christian
wars were brutal yet we are never
informed how bad it was, least we
loose our faith from this truth...
but, the Muslims remember and
and continue to wage endless wars
against those barbarians entering
their lands and telling them how
they were going to live their lives.
