What Is War

What Is War

What is war if not a culling of humanity;
a methodology guaranteed to impact growth
preventing starvation in an overpopulated world.

What is war if not an investment in economics;
yet, a depreciable asset in accumulated loses.

What is war if not the nightmares of mothers
who grieve for sons or daughters who suffer no more.

What is war if not the fuel that ignites passion
not extinguished by previous war, rekindled again.

What is war if not a culling of humanity;
when extinction becomes evident.

What is war if not the end of humanity.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
