Firestorms

In ancient naval nautical battles

often with huge, heavily manned,

and armed vessels, slugging it out often

in great formations with numerous

fearsome, powerful arsenals, with awesome,

horrendous, even fiendish arrays of weapons

in applications, a la carte

war is after all, hell…

 

Greek fire was like napalm.

on land and later in the air atomic bombs,

noxious chemicals, even deadly diseases

are employed and with tactical maneuvers,

crossing the "T"

blitzkrieg and firestorms,

where entire cities are incinerated,

came to be,

 

It seems even being hateful

has become an art. apparently,

we have learned

how to perfectly destroy each other’s strength,

 

If we would have used our energies

to help cure each other’s weakness

we would be for us

and not fighting them, perhaps?

 

The science of war

we have learned well

evidently not

well, enough to know when to stop,

we must pay

and as the price continually escalates,

eventually we will learn

when to quit playing the game

or lose it all, for what gains?

 

If we lose our very souls

A powerful ponder. Indeed, in the fire storming game of war, how can there be gains when the opposing forces both lose their souls. Another great share, C2. Thanks. Peace and Love.
