Day 136 March 20 2014: People are good at one thing.

War is where the child inside a man is murdered and his innocence is destroyed, only the shell of a man is what remains.
War is where children grow up too fast and die too often, at the hands of other children.
War is what destroys dreams and creates nightmares, left to be replayed over and over in the minds of the survivors.
War is a human creation, it is also human destruction.
War is where the old play chess with young lives, the pawns fall for their king.
War fills holes in the ground but makes holes in hearts.
War kills many but scars so many more.

If humans are good at one thing and one thing alone, it is the killing of other humans.
