War

My attempt at poetry....

Every day I read about the war
In Iraq, In Afghanistan, in the lands very far
Men of valor die
For reasons they think rational to die

People argue pros and cons
Of war and suffering, for peace and glory
The part of the brain makes us fight
Does the same make us cry?

Ever seen a tiger cry for killing
Or cry out ‘Dude why the fuck, you are killing?’
Animals fight for food, for self defense, to mate
Or do they fight for glory too?

We are a great mortal soul we cry
For defense we kill mercilessly
We want all pleasures carnal, banal and eternal
We seek truth and yet live a false life

For the quest unknown
Don’t we exploit everything like parasites?
Don’t we multiply like worms and fight to mate?
So, do you still think we evolved?
