How do you waste the most time every day?

View all responses

War is a great waste of human life, wealth, and resources. It is humanity’s biggest failure.

War is a great waste.
It is built and based
On terrible cruelty
Yet some people make haste
To spread and to taste
The hell of its horror.

It’s time to stop spreading the waste of war. It’s time to activate humanity’s great capacity for compassion.

Bombs, missiles, and drones
Don’t give a fair fight.
Can you hear the moans
And the dying groans
Of the people whose homes
They turned into war zones?

War is the most prejudice and bigoted thing people do. It causes people to want to kill people because of where they were born.

Whether people were born in:
Latin America or the USA,
Ukraine or Russia,
Iran or Israel or Gaza,
South or North Korea,
Pakistan or India,
Twain or China,
Or Sudan or Syria
Or Myanmar or Ethiopia,
Or even at sea,
Their lives matter!

War doesn’t kill people. People use war as an excuse to kill people.

War clearly reveals
The cruel vanity
Of humanity
And insanity
Of celebrating
Our ability
To kill and destroy
Masses of people
With fierce and savage
Inhumanity.
