The Core Of 'Why
It should for anyone,
Not be difficult to identify...
The cause and reason,
Wars begin to start.
And why at the core,
To prioritize...
The feeding of greed.
With more of it to fight wars for!
Devastating to decimate humanity.
Done to not value,
The existence of life lived blessed to get...
To regard this gift as worthless!
This should not be disbelieved,
By anyone living to address...
Their wants to wish,
A life seeking to impress...
With things to possess.
And wealth to obtained.
Regardless,
As to how this is accomplished.
Or who it may be still left on EARTH.
Praising a victory.
Eventually inherited,
Underneath the dirt of Earth.
'What do these people have in common,
With other civilizations...
That a few with power,
Advance themselves to self elimination?'
'An addiction.
That becomes overwhelmingly fictioned.'
'But how does this become allowed?'
'Visions of power to have it.
A feeding to feast upon greed to seek.
And like leeches sucking blood,
Out of life itself.'
'To accomplish what?
A leaving behind unused minds?
It makes no sense.'
'And at the core of it all,
If you notice throughout history...
It is Earth that ultimately,
Becomes the victor!'
'Leaving those left to value a mess.'
'Again.
Learning not a lesson yet,
As to Who created it all.'
'How does that old saying go?
Bite the hand that produces the meal.
And all still left breathing,
Will decide between themselves...
What value should be placed,
On the utensils!'
'What sense does that make?'
'None!
But I am willing to bet as time goes by,
Someone will try.
Or make an attempt,
To put a price on something worthless...
As a must have people will kill for.
Again.
Ignoring the activities,
Of their own history.'
'You mean like refusing the facts,
To censor the teaching...
Of Critical Race Theory?'
'That too.
And you know what?'
'No...what?'
'People refusing the truth of reality,
Always seem to have...
An elaborate poor taste in their decor!'
'What?'
'Look around.
This stuff would not sell well,
At a flea market.
Nor...
A dime would they get if pawned.
Seriously.
What collector,
Would regard any of this stuff as antique?'
'Huh?'
'Well...
I take that back.
Barbarians always seem to find,
Something to use to promote their cause!'
'What are you talking about?'
'Wars and how they start.
Geeessshhh.
Are you paying any attention at all?'
