why do we kill?

Lay your sword down
put aside your guns
knives shall be needed no more
anyways, what are they for?

When all are your brother, your sister, or your mother
none shall be left to go after
war will be senseless

So why do we kill?
we fear what or whom we do not know
so we try to tame or kill it so we can be more at ease at home

We were not meant to kill
but to live – together
not to curse or neglect them either

Even if they are across seas
why do we neglect even these
or those even in our own vicinities…….

So who do we choose to please
God or man?
for from his image is every man, woman and child

    you write a great message David… i also love the last bit, it puts to question who people are following and is a reminder that everyone is made in Gods’ image… just brilliant…
