Dead men do tell tales

Man and the universe
a boy in a candy shop
strikes a match
destruction lit.

In caveman times
sticks and stones
do break bones
and there are no
words to harm you.

Civilised man,
modern man
still uses sticks
and stones to
break your bones
where his words
will harm you.

“First, I’m going
to stick that shiny
sharp knife into your chest
where the blade will
twist and turn
coated in
the release of your blood,
a river of red
I watch you die.
Of course I could have
used a gun but I was
suffering from nostalgia,
the good ole days.”

There you have it
age has not wearied man
from his killing sprees.
Modern man is just more
equipped to do it.

Man, a natural born killer
of all things living.

You are diving deep into the psyche of man. Man can be a killing, destructive machine or a building, saving machine. I only believe in self- defense being ready. No aggression, no taking of innocent life, no creating mayhem, hatred and animosity in society.

dear Andrew... our Constitution gives our young men and women the right to bear arms (at home and in a War).
We are brain-washed to Kill in a War... and then we permit our Leader(s) to dictate our freedom at Home according to what gives them Control. God help us all... lest we fall. softly, Pat
