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)
Well said LB.
