What have we done?
What have we done?
Where are the peacemakers? Where are the gathering of people standing for love? Do the children believe, their world is safe and sound.
12 active wars and six conflicts today. Where do the children go, when war is near? How many people are living day by day? How many wars, do we need? When will there be no wars?
“This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.”
New soldiers being are being trained to kill, more better guns to kill are being creative. Now we can kill from 3,000 miles away. But we still the have old sickness in some places, starvation everywhere and the men of war. They scream. Kill, kill and kill till all the kindness is gone.
Years ago President Clinton send my unit to Africa three times. Food, water and medicine missions. Kindness, concern and helpful men and women. We helped who we could, befriended people, who saw the USA with different eyes. Not murderers, not warmongers.
I have put children and men/women into mass graves. Just people, who died of starvation and sickness. I saw the eyes of the men/women and children in Bosnian. Their eyes, a million mile stare to no-where.
I put my grand-daughter into her bed. I sing to her. My baby Mia, my sweetest girl. Grandpa will keep you safe, grandpa will keep the devils away. Grandpa will find a way. To keep you away from the hate.
Today the war-chants are loud and the cries of the children cannot be heard. The tear of the mothers cannot be seen and the men of war demand more death.
Today I stand with Ukraine and I pray for sanity for Russia. The great generation is almost gone. World War two. 85 million people died, 3 per cent of the world population in 1945. Do we want more graveyards, more dead cities and a homeless world. Today the men of war had create better weapons. The soldiers, just do clean-up.
White Lion song, just as important as in 1987. We have nuclear weapons that can destroy 40 miles of life. Bio weapons, a secret killer that can erase a whole city of people. We have chemical weapons that can kill areas leaving life and planet dead.
“This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.”
Where are the men and women of peace? Where are the peacemakers? A silence voice, a silent poet/writer accepted the world as-is.
What do we tell our children. When everything kind and beautiful is gone?

Sad situation.
The way you have put it across and with your personal experiences, makes it more intense just to read it.
Can’t imagine the situation on the ground in these zones.
Hope sanity prevails.

It is sad what men do my friend. We spend 25% of USA budget on the war machine. And USA could feed the world with 1% of this budget. I appreciate the comment Shashi.
