WAR is Good

WAR!
what is it good for..
everything
War among-st earthlings
is good
death of a living body
makes it clear
with out any doubt, some change must come about
through pain and fear

War is good
because it brings about something
 
new
 a variation
of old ideas
transformed into
 what today has to offer

according to who is willing to eliminate the most who disagree
War is good war is good
because war changes everything

The trick is to raise their babies
according to what the victor's see
War is good for change
war is good for exchange
war is good, war is good

war is good for human beings
war is good for expansion
war is good for vanity
war like
the idea of peace is a moment in time
connected to eternity

The maker made opposites
so to struggle in this form
is divine

war
what is it good for.. everything

War will continue
so long as mankind

rules

right or wrong genius or fool
war is part of the change
always coming

and now you know
War is good for something

Author's Notes/Comments: 

War is good my friends.  It aids in brining about the only true constant.

 

This has been performed in public and is alway confrontational/combative even for those who denounce that war is good for anything but death.  True this is, but War is necessary to exterminate large swaths/pleatheras of view in a quest to bring about a different point of view.  Smoothing the losers views.  Look at the US.  It used to be full of Native American Indians, but manifest Destiny proved to be over-powering.  Look around the world and to the past, and see the kicked ass.  Ass- meaning death, often genecide.  True and usually long lasting change comes about in this way.

Thank you 4 ur energy

I appreciate your prospective.  If you took time to view the video montage.. you'd hear that as the intro.  Continue to speak your mind, so long as you allow and encourage others to support and speak theirs.  Very sincere.  Ciao

Adolf thought war was good. Look at the carnage he created.

 

Maybe you're young, and you haven't gone to war -- yet. Sometimes war is inevitable, but it still brings death and destruction, often to the innocent who don't deserve it. And it's always the victor who writes the history.

 

May you never go to war.

Most War is inevitable

First know I'm a 22 year VET.  I've been to the battlefield, and gratefully not in the heat of battle personally.  Yet I've lost fellow military members and contractors due to war.  People I personally knew, ate with, and worked with in the theator of war.  I've served in everything but the Marines.  USCG is a defense only element, and not under DOD.  I still serve.  I'm not done yet.  War is very nescessary.  It is good in the scense I've described.  If you make/take a moment to see the video, it is clear that this sort of chaos is an unfortunate state, yet a required one.. Know I'm Black/African American.  I'm not pleased with how America came to be.  It's history is as tarnished as any other great nation, but it is still a great nation.  The violence this country is ready and prepared to deliver keeps other countries at bay.  The threat of War.  War is good for all the reasons I state.  War as I state will be with us, becuase that is the human way.  Whenever and where ever the disagreement is so grave that blood must flow.. What is good is the change thats due to come.  The moments of peace will either be for small moments or longer until other humans position themselves for a new change, which they will pay for with blood.  Next up is BloodShed.  Hope you appreciate it, even if you don't like it.  Sincere.  Yours true.  Paradox of BOP
