Interesting theory here, C. D. In your part of the world , I don't imagine you need to worry quite as much as we do for instance here in the United States, where people have lost their minds and don't realize it yet. Good job on the poem. Bob

There are plenty of people following the piper in this country, and I suspect many others, Bob. I don't think anywhere is immune from insanity in this day and age. Thanks for the great comments -- Craig

At least you have some reasonable laws on guns. God bless you. Bob

At least you have gun control in your country.

We have fought wars since the first human. I think we will still fight until there is only one man left standing. We are a species who seem to enjoy killing. Unless something amazing comes to this beautiful planet we are destroying with our wars, we are a doomed species. So sad. Your poem portrays this well. Well done. :)) Sandra xx

First I love Mythology. This is so cool. When I first started reading it I thought it was about Mythology. As I continued to read I realize it is about all the gods. It is about all religions and the fight between them. I think no matter what religion or belief you have we are all jesters for the gods to obtain enjoyment form. This flows well. It is an easy read to follow. Well done. I would like to give you six stars but my allotment is gone.

Your offering is so true CD.
We kill the brave, enslave the weak,
then watch it on the nightly news.

Perhaps some folk may dare to dream
one day will dawn a shining light
that sees all humans on one team
and purges our strange need to fight;

So much evil is done in God's name, but he taught us to love one another not kill one another. Well done my friend. Nancy:)

Thanks so much, Nancy. I guess we aren't, as a species, good at listening. Most grateful, Craig

War is essential to scrub the gene pool and curb overpopulation.
And not just on Earth, as the silence tells SETI...carbon/hydrogen life is a theory that just does not work...they think the planet could feed ten billion and we have come from three billion to nearly eight in two generations...
there is a great crunch a-coming...is The Maker learning as He tramples the grapes of wrath? ABAB tetrameter...excellent.

Thanks very much for the perceptive comments, although I favour the use of mobile phones on public trafficways as a less bloodthirsty way to thin out the gene pool. Most grateful for your kind review. Cheers, Craig

This is very well thought up and very nicely done, a story of truth and yet partly fiction hoping that the battle is quick. The rhyme and flow are excellently done

The world is a nightmare and you're right about watching the news. If you want to be depressed that's all you have to do. You did a great job with. Maybe one day we'll all be able to get along...in a perfect world

I won't be holding my breath, but I guess if we need something to dream about, that's as good as anything. Thanks for the thoughtful and kind comments. Craig

I sometimes think that aliens had a lot to do with human existence. But after awhile, the aliens looking down at us, decided that with all the advancements in science, medicine and technology, still humans have not changed their attitudes toward racism, religion and the need for war... they just abandoned us and left us to our own devices. I am open minded: which really means I haven't a clue pf how things are going to end for us. But I suspect it will not be good. Best wishes

I suspect the aliens visited here long ago and, finding no sign of intelligent life, moved on. A pretty similar concept, I think. Thanks for the thoughtful review. Craig

You are most welcome, Craig.

But in the absurd because of God's Word, in Jesus there is hope. I teach four year olds to do unto others as you want them to do to you. Each action is examined under this light. The kids really are learning. Love covers and we absurdies love much too.
Hugs and God bless...sorry for the tangent but this is what your poem sparked . Good job

Thanks, Jenny. Do unto others is a good principle for anyone to live by -- children or adult. Cheers, Craig

A very well-written poem about war of human beings under the name of finding peace, never work, because peace cannot be found with swords and battles, we keep the source of peace within our minds.
