...............
people become highly indignant,
even declare war upon nations,
to murder millions in the name of a god
that is the center of their 'religion',
but answer this: if your 'religion'
is a 'business', then why do you
call it a 'religion'? and if your war
is costing your nation millions
of dollars to take the lives of
millions of people, then who are
you really fighting, your religion,
or your government? and who is
fighting who?

Comment on 'Ball of Confusion'
Nightlight,
Our planet itself resembles a globe and the Sun is a big ball of fire; The confusion started long time back at the time of evolution and that keeps going round and round finding no way to escape. At present, people fight for nothing without minding the lives that are being lost. For who they kill, nobody knows! Great thrust to make others realize their own actions. Fine. When you find time, read my poem 'War Zone' that was written when Israel was fighting against the Hezbullas and then I generalized it with a place like Sri Lanka.
Ben
thx, ben!! loved your poem,
