Why Do We Allow Wars?


They say that killing is a sin; then why do we allow wars?

They say to mind the golden rule; then why do we allow wars?

They say to live life to it's fullest; then why do we allow wars?

They call the earth a Brotherhood of Man; then why do we allow wars?

They say that, I am the Lord, thy God; then why do we allow wars?

They say that thou should not worship false idols; then why do we allow wars?

They say that God is Love and loves us all; then why do we.... Allow wars?

Why do we allow wars?  I will never understand this.

"War is over, if you want it." - Lennon/Ono

Did anyone pay attention, besides me?

Why do we allow wars?

  1. I have written this because someone that I love is dying because he had to fight in a war that was never declared, and he was a peaceful man of God. He taught me everything that I know about being a man, and about the important things in life.

    War is the most horrible disgrace to our species and our presence in the universe. Yeah..I said it.

    1. Ditto. I just don't understand the need for war.
      We already have 3,000 nuclear weapons. Why fight ground wars? Lives that never should have been lost over a senseless war. Doesn't make sense to me at all.
