IDENTITICLE QUESTIONS 1, 2, 3… A CIRCLE…ONE, ONE, ONE…


1: (Why haven't we stopped killing each other by now?) ,

The next war will be the final war. Power may know this, thus, it wages war on the tactic of terror.  To answer the question of why we haven't stopped the cycle- violence and war beget themselves, each other, even. Therefore Peace must be ushered in by WE, the war makers and violence keepers, in order to realize that Peace also begets itself. 

2: (Why are we still at war in the 21st Century?) For the same reason we were at war in the Greek times- it's the same war. Lifetimes of war, terror and genocide being repeated, same war, same wealth, same two reasons, money and humankind’s inability to resist the same thing over and over for their own growing need of convenience; a sort of mantra engaged by absolute corruption and MONEY is the ROOT and WE are the SEED. And by the look and feel of things WE have no will to do so, nor enough empathy to actually stop the Collective failure. 

3: (Could it be that we've never stopped fighting since war became the breadwinner?)

War has always been the breadwinner, it was intended to profit greatly a small few… now they find themselves overridden with regret and bent at the trough of foul want. They see no recourse from the hell they too created inexplicably with great dear and trepidation- Poppycock!

ROOT OF

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." __1 Timothy 6:10 It is MONEY, not the LOVE of it that is the issue, the true problem. Love, in and of itself, is never a problem, WANT and NEED, or better yet- the WANT and the conundrum of its very REQUIREMENT for our survival IS the problem, it's creation and our blind use of it is logically the ROOT. In other words, let's leave LOVE out of it altogether and deal with the facts instead. If money were not made by us as a requirement for our survival, we'd find ourselves in a much better position to argue of its need and our want of it. MRP Peace and Love © 2015 Mark Richard Prime

sdrawkcaB nruT (Turn Backwards)

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman
