What Is War?

God what is war?
To me the question is killing.

God when will war end?
Perpetual war unending is killing.

God why is war written down back into dawn of civilizations?
In museums I trace weapons of war back back...
past Ancient Rome Greece Egypt
to Ancient Persia Babylon Sumeria.

God why do the weapons keep getting bigger bigger bigger to inflict ever more hateful wounds?
Weapons of hate keep screaming screaming screaming tearing tearing flesh apart in ugly gaping gushing
heart rending painful wounds!

God is the question of war perpetually renewed without cessation not answered in full yet?
Every age race civilization, from stone age to space age, has fought wars wars wars wars!

God is it not proven yet, that humanity loves war, greed, conquest; more
than a love of peace?

In my opinion, it is not in our interest to have complicated negotiations with a region, and then have to follow it up with 535 negotiations at home. I have experienced recounts, and it is better to vote once.

Negotiations For All

As it is...
It comes,
This 'thing' described.
Given a name
But going unrecognized.
Some say they know it.
Some could care less.
Others who have their druthers...
Stay away from labels that contest!
And as it is...
It comes,
Regardless of what it's called.
It is not quite the peace,
Increasingly paid for...
But it will do since the real thing is stalled!
Negotiations for one!
Negotiations for all!
Taking time to sip coffee and dine,
Those who make decisions in debate
Take lunch breaks...

If women ran the world we wouldn't have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.

Negotiations are a euphemism for capitulation if the shadow of power is not cast across the bargaining table.

No one's interested really in knowing what policies or diplomatic initiatives or arms negotiations might have been compromised by me.

The ones who were negotiating are now on the front line of this intifada, because they found that the negotiations didn't give them the minimum of their rights.
