i put my hands over my ears
squinch my eyes shut tight
and scream
"for God's sake,
STOP!"
people, this has got to change
we can't take this any more
we're going to destroy ourselves
put down your guns
free your slaves
what happiness do we get
from the suffering of others?
oh, God! help us see
that it is in choosing
to suffer ourselves
rather than inflicting suffering
that we find what it is
to truly live

"It is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
After ages upon ages of looking for utopia around the next elusive corner the violence continues...
