As Heartless As War


I'm convinced
that they should
fight the next war
with paint ball guns.

There would be lots
of paint color spots
but much less bloodshed.

The mothers and fathers
and sisters and brothers
and husbands and wives
and all of the precious
children of this world
wouldn't have to worry
about the loss of their
loved ones, from something
as heartless as war.

Any takers?

Dear James, we MUST find a way to never enter war again.

War IS heartless, thank you for putting thought to it!

Love, Margherita

(big angel hugs) Oh James, you know how I absolutely agree here! War is heartless, and sadly we have one senseless, unpopular war going on in the background as we speak! (sad sigh) I never mean to put words into a holiday's mouth, but somehow I've always felt Memorial Day is not just a day to honor those who gave their hearts and made painful sacrifices to preserve and protect our freedom and country, but this day also wishes for that we can engage in conflict management/resolution together without resorting to these tragic ends so that we don't have to keep making these painful sacrifices for decades and centuries to come! (sigh) Patriotism just doesn't do the individual stories in each brave soldier's heart justice, and if only we could all lend an ear to each one's story, we may have a very different attitude to how we approach days like Memorial Day, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

YES YES YES

I always loved coloring, and crayons and stuff and just imagine... a war with Paint Guns would be the most beautiful sight to the eyes, and it would only sting for a minute or two, but wouldnt take any lives, or leave any bullet wounds.

This was magnificent James

I wouldn't agree more....

War is just a cruel cruel thing that never should be undertaken.

Thank you
