Retribution.

“You are wrong!”

“No I am not!”

Words we hear

More and more often.

“If you do not agree with me I will hit you”

Is the next step,

And those steps increase

Into an ever despairing spiral

To despair.

“If you hit me, I will throw a stone at you”

“You do that and I will shoot you”

“I’ll get my friends to get you”

“But my friends will beat your friends”

“We have got lots of guns”

“Ours are bigger and more powerful than yours”

“But we have got bombs and will bomb you to hell”

“No Chance, we will bomb you first”

“You reckon, we have an atom bomb”

“Yes but………”

 

“Hello world, are you there?”

No answer, came the reply.
