War

Blueledge



When there's injustice, 

where there's a war. 

The common denominator's 

hard to ignore. 

 

Follow the path 

of each bloody trail. 

The gender responsible 

is usually male.

    Actually often times it’s the women who pick these men to run their houses/homes, to run our governments and father their children, because it is said they are strong, a trait that they themselves try to manipulate to work for them. Etc

      I think our gender has a problem.
      311 mast shootings in America so far this year. How many of those attributed to women?
      Knife crime here in the UK. Overwhelming majority men.
      I think empathy can be taught, and we should.

      Brilliant!
      (a thousand ships, launched
      and now, Helen
      be that name Immortalised
      by Homer's tale
      and all, because of Pride
      dictating
      that a person's love, or
      aesthetic
      lusted-after, beauty
      makes
      them a property, to be
      fought over;
      that was, millenniums ago
      a Greek, king
      using a thread of a story, to conquer
      even more land
      to evangelise, some warped
      notion of legacy..
      tell me, what's changed?
      If we, but swap 'Helen'
      for 'oil' or whatever, resource
      is sought after, most
      and what do we have
      a threadbare, excuse
      to wage a war
      in the name of legacy, power
      and greed...
      all trait's we men, depend on
      to validate
      our warped sense of worth)
