Fight For What? Comments

silence of the lambs, to me, brings to mind a scary? and violent movie i watched, with that title. thus it seems inappropriate here....if you are familiar with the movie. otherwise, the phrase is quite nice. body felt down....make it fell down my friend. i have never owned a gun though i used to shoot a BB gun sometimes when i was young. it really was my brother's and it shot tiny copper? balls about the size of the o here. i was a conscientious objector to all wars in 1970 when i worked for two years in a civilian hospital (in u.s.a) instead of subjecting myself to the military draft (during vietnam war) . over the years i have continued to oppose, intellectually, war, but i would be lying if i said i think it is always wrong to go to war. and guns and other weapons are a part of war. it is true many innocent people may be injured or killed and much damage done during wars, but i believe that wars (some at least) can be justified to defend against evil, such as the Allied Powers did against the Axis Powers during World War 2. i believe i read that Gandhi wrote that he would use violence to defend his family against violence. why shouldn't a country defend itself against a violent attack from another country? or why shouldn't a group of allied countries unite to defend against (which would also involve offensive, not just defensive, actions) a country or group of countries which threaten(s) security? ? ? evil people or people acting for evil people, like Hitler, are killed, not just innocent people, during wars. if i could do away with all guns (and other weapons) which are used against humans (against other animals is another story) i would do it. what do you, Captain A, and you readers, think about guns used by police? thanks for listening. and thanks for sharing poem and comments. bri :) peace to you (but at any cost? ?)

Excellent poem... beautiful message... Love it! ! ! Terry

so brilliant. But lets say (FIGHT SO WHAT) ? as long as human being exists war exists too and the only victims are innocent people. Mucha Gracias

A great poem Ellias. Guns and sophisticated weaponry will be the end for all of us. So write of peace and peaceful solutions to our problems. Keep your ideals lofty and your goals high.

another great piece, there's truth in this unfortunately most fight just to fight, the evil within us is very intoxicating and like an alcoholic it blindly ease the soul, so to justify the violence some make stupid ideals to serve the purpose of their own and not of the people

Dear Ellias, the less age and the most knowledg you have....you've told the truth....long live peace.

There is only one fight for good, that is fight for future and life, without harming others....if we are strong enough fight fears, if we too strong fight weakness....but fight with people is nothing good because it show how weak our loves is, because peace is only belong to people who have strong mind, humanity and love...I like you speak about humanity again and again...._Unwritten Soul

Awesome dear bro, i wish the best for u, no wall cant stop u, u r in progress all the time

Life and existence of people is like a sweet chocolate...i like this verse. And I appreciate the meaning and your idea...Well-done!

So let's forget the all fights, let's live love and peace! If all 'peace keeping countries' think this way, then the world will be a peaceful place!

Awesome piece here my friend, you are really punching out some great work recently! ! ! ! Peace Jon

Wow! Great idea.I like this.

Very brutal. Fight is brutal. But haven't you heard the saying Might is Right? Who knows? A sharp poem.

Excellent poem Ellias! Wonderful message...Unfortunately those who control the 'fight' let others fight for the material/power gain of the controllers... there is nothing humanitarian contained in their goals... just the contrary, sadly. Nevertheless you've done a great job... Terry
