poem....

[bootler]

I had a bit of a breakdown last night. Got caught up thinking about all the stupid wars and needless deaths, and sobbed for a good portion of the evening. I'm probably just getting my period or something, but I wrote a poem/son about it, and I'm sort of pleased. So here it is, a serious post

I had the same thoughts. I was at a restaurant in Chinatown yesterday, and they had CNN headline news on. Oi. Shooting at a school in Germany, shooting at the Church of Nativity, shooting outside a casino in Nevada... and the list goes on. Too many things are dealt with at gunpoint.

*hugs*

'Tis a good poem, despite the fact that a breakdown brought it on. :)

The world, and everything in it

Pity only the survivors of conflict, and the ones which suffered before they died.

I would like it if suicide bombers were removed from society and placed into permanent hospital care wards, bound. Like the "sloth" guy from Seven. They set off their bomb at a distance, but are not destroyed in that act. They live on, decades upon decades, kept healthy and chained. Blowing yourself up is not a sacrifice for your cause, for you do not suffer in the slightest. And what do you accomplish? You kill civilians, that's it.

Ah well, perhaps I'm too jaded to think about such things overlong
