Rumors



Wars.
And rumors of more conflicts.
With protests in the process,
To heighten division and racial sickness.
Intended to increase,
The ending of humanity.
Left to leave in minds,
Any sign of common sense.
Used to defend against,
Ignorance feeding this stupidity.
Observed to witness for what it is.

Yet...
Seems to remain the main objective.
By the ones accepting.
And made to believe,
Wars begun...
Between themselves to begin.
Have few who start them left free,
From being unaffected and immuned...
By a disease destroying,
The consciousness of all mentalities.

Unable to escape,
Away from an addiction...
Guaranteed to erase humanity.

That leaves God.
And only God decide.
This creation we call Earth.
He has made.
Would be better,
If replaced to do it done!

Since no one is paying attention,
As to just how fragile...
Their blessed lives live to get,
Can be removed.
Quicker than the next attempt,
A man made power to grab it had...
Is fictioned to delude God will allow!

Rumors to begin and start without end.
Eventually achieves,
A cure and an effective remedy.
That a repeating a history proves,
Lessons to teach...
But go ignored not to learn.
Means nothing to the one,
Who supplies all the tools needed.
To avoid excuses.
Believing the use of stupidity instead,
Provides a more beneficial way...
With weapons to destroy,
A life fading.
Leaving no one left celebrating a victory.

'We are winning.
If we stick together,
We will win the battle.'

'And lose the fight?'

'What fight?'

'The fight we chose to end our lives!'

'Here we go again.
Having to listen,
To your negative point of view.
Can you once at least be positive?'

'Okay.
I am positive we are defeating ourselves.'
