THE IRONY OF WAR CRIMES

I WAS ASKING ALEXA A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS AND THE NEWS JUST STARTED PLAYING ON MY TV. I HEARD WAR CRIMES MENTIONED. WAR CRIMES...THINK ABOUT IT...WAR CRIMES...ISN'T ALL WAR A CRIME... PEOPLE ARE KILLING EACH OTHER AND DESTROYING PROPERTY. THOSE ARE CRIMES.. ALL WAR IS CRIME. THINK ABOUT THAT NEXT TIME YOU HEAR THAT TERM WAR CRIMES. I GOOGLED TO SEE WHAT ARE CONSIDERED WAR CRIMES. MAYBE I SHOULD INCLUDE THAT HERE.

War crimes

murder, ill treatment or deportation to slave labour or for any other purpose of the civilian population in occupied territory. murder or ill treatment of prisoners of war or persons on the seas. killing of hostages. torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments.

THAT IS JUST THE FIRST DEFINITION THAT WAS ON THE PAGE THIS TIME I LOOKED...IT WAS A DIFFERENT ONE EARLIER. YOU CAN GOOGLE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF THE MANY DEFINITIONS THEY HAVE.

I HAVE HEARD WHEN THEY USE DRONES THEY OFTEN  HIT CIVILIANS SO WHY ARE THEY NOT  CONSIDERED WAR CRIMES WHEN THEY DO THEIR DAMAGE... WHO MAKES UP THOSE RULES...

ALL WAR INCLUDES MURDER AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AND CIVILIAN CASUALTIES THEY CALL THEM...WHEN CIVILIANS ARE HARMED OR KILLED  WHILE THEIR WAR GAMES ARE GOING ON....

WHY HAS CIVILIZATION NOT EVOLVED ENOUGH TO JUST STOP ALL WARS. LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER. RESPECT EACH OTHERS RIGHTS. LIVE AND LET LIVE. LIKE JOHN LENNON AND YOKO ONO SANG DECADES AGO....GIVE PEACE A CHANCE.

Quote

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was pretty much just created on the spot, so its very rough as I'm sure there are spell mistakes. However since its just a little quote I wrote I'm not to worried about it looking perfect.

ThoughtShock: A Manifesto Chapter 4

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I will be honest, For some reason I have really enjoyed working on this little book, There is real no aim at any perticular theme to it other then a lot of my views on some subjects as in a more "descrptive" style of writting. I have decided that either after the next chapter, or the next chapter itself will not be published in this manner. I am thinking of finding a host, and converting all new chapters into one simple downloadable PDF file, once finished however I have yet to decide If I want to publish it into a hardcopy. I guess that will depend on if its in any demand... As always I hope you enjoy the read.

NOTE: I also just wanted to add all these chapters are still in a rough draft format, so spelling and grammar errors are applenty I am sure. as well as inchorant sentences, I'll fix them as I see them. (its 3am here)

The hospital corridor

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I had a very busy day yesterday and as I was working and walking up the corridor I observed alady on crutches and that was the trigger point of this poem. Hope you like it as it is how I see the corridor.
