No one ever wins a war. Just take a look at history and all that came before, no one ever, and I mean no one, truly ever wins a war.
How can anyone anticipate the world changes from the senseless murders of strangers? Strangers to us and strangers to their killers, yet we all bear the scars, and danger dances within us.
Contempt and distrust rise triumphant from the dust.
Not a single drop of blood spilled is necessary or just.
And yet it goes on. An eye for an eye, a bomb for a bomb. People flee from their countries and the war rages on.
And for what? What’s it solving? Stuck in a loop, a door revolving, revolvers handed to misguided fighters to intimidate and destroy, to decimate and incite us to respond.
With yet more bombs.
Who started what is not the focus that matters but endless retaliation leaves families in tatters. Towns turn to rubble, hope turns to horror, today turns to terror, what’s left for tomorrow?
It is a hollow sort of victory that sees those written down in history only have their notoriety because of the hurt they caused society.
And whilst hurt breeds fear fear builds walls walls divide still further and division kills us all.
And what’s it for? No-one ever wins a war.
It doesn’t bring freedom or friendship, and it doesn’t unite communities or legitimize a cause.
