War, endless freakin' dad gum war... used to think there was a way to end IT... stupid human trick I played on myself.
What, though, IS it that puts a man to where he goes from a simple difference of opinion to blows, to death, to suffering and to destruction of all things good and safe... what IS it? Where does that edge fall, where do we find it, how do we recognize it... can it be avoided... MUST we have it? Why, why, why... or must we be the warriors, who can only say that it IS, therefore... so so so hard to do, so hard hard... or have we already become it...
Is it just a personal threshhold? Is it something eternal like the sky? Is it God's will we must obey?
on land
in the sky
on the sea
in our hearts and minds
Even if we could know, would it matter?
