hell +spawn

Although, 

 

 
by no means funny 

 

 
it’s ironic 

 

 
how sometimes 
people 
may not realize 
their errors...

 

  
until it’s too late

 

 they do not recognize 
on their own
the misguided delivery 
of what had once 
seemed so promising, 

 

 finding 
an ideal version 
of winning 
created in their minds, 

 

 
what heaven is 

 

 â€¦which hell 
in so little time 

 

 
became. 

 

 
even if bombs 
fall all over the world 
like rain 

 

 
we can never

 

  ...make it better

 

 following a same course 
can only make it worse 
think about it 

 

 
when it is their bombs 

 

 
what kind of peace 
would you choose 

 

 
common people

 

  
divided by 

 

 
what you do 
in opposition 
to people

 

 
who stand united 

 

 
get out now 

 

 
with what 
dignity remains

 

 
give them a gift of peace 
even if it is not your version,

 

  
at least give some relief, 

 

 
the real crime 

 

 
is in the resources 
you’ve expended, 

 

 
countless lives lost, 

 

 
defending lies

 

 
…peace 

 

 
doesn’t take 
technology
 

 

 
…only 

 

 

Understanding

Powerfully captured. Indeed, "...peace doesn't take technology...only Understanding" I share with you these words spoken by Nkrumah in 1963: "Unless science [technology] is used for the betterment of mankind, I am at a loss to understand the reason foe it all. It does not require a a clever brain to destroy life. In fact any fool can do that. But it takes brains---and extraordinarily brilliant brains---to create conditions for human happiness and to make life worth living." Peace, Love and Unity.
