Time To Grow Up

John Prophet

The world

is inhabited

by us,

nearly every nook.


We

are afraid

of each other.


We

have weapons,

massive

amount of weapons,

to protect

ourselves

from ourselves.


Why?


What

are we

afraid of?


We breath

the same

air,

we

see the same

moon.


We

all love

our children,

we

all want

to live

a happy life.


Then why all the

weapons?

We

are all the same really,

just one

family of man.


This one's

afraid

of that one

and

that one's

afraid

of this one.


The trillions

spent on weapons

could feed

the hungry,

home

the homeless

and take care

of the sick.


Our fear

of each other

is a

throwback

to survival

in more difficult

past times.


Those times are

gone.


It's time to

grow up.

    I dont know if you are right about that throwback, but i know many on here have written of the desire for world peace - self included. Nice writing.
