Violence

With a rock

Cain killed his brother Abel

Jealousy, rage

And so, it began

Violence between brothers

Person against person

Aggressive emotions

Unstable suspicions, mistrust

Group against group

Paranoia seeks power

Fear begetting fear

History is futures harbinger

Lust for wealth, lust for power

Reveals narcissistic roles in death

Sanity easily destroyed

Bullets and bombs obliterate truth

Mass entanglement in conspiracies

Deny, misinform, repeat, repeat, accept

Power of delusion, easier to follow

Fascism, racism, xenophobia, supremacy

Recipes for dictators

Manifestos for devastation, death

Clean hands for the mouthpiece

Blood and gore for all others

Cancel history, ignore those lessons

Nothing remembered nothing learned

A cycle of atrocities, failures of a species

Stuck in an escalating loop of obliteration

Screams for resolution, band aids and blinders

 Repetitive cycle, repetitive cycle, repetitive cycle

Thanks Tim.
Well put; we must stand together in the face of those who would divide us for their own ends.
