Photos of the millennium

Through the smoke and tears

The gunshots and screams

Every set of eyes distracted

Attention differed for the slightest moment.

Hidden in the background

A capsule to another world

A place filled with love not hate

Everything is so simple

We all want one thing

The only thing that can’t be won or bought

The one thing you won’t get from war and death

The only thing that sets us apart

The couple in the street

Expressing their heats to the world

Forgetting about the death and decay

And soaking in the warmth each other brings

This is how it’s supposed to be

This is the world we should live in.

 Cowards

Cowards are the ones hiding behind those shields

Blocking their own harm but providing it for others

For a mother and a child

Something every civilization relies on

To be a coward

Is to be obedient

Obedient when the orders are unjust

And when a greater power overrules them

The power of kindness

Love, trust, humaneness

To my knowledge

 These shields of men are no men at all

They get praised for their bravery in their own countries

How does this qualify as bravery or leadership?

We are all able to think for ourselves

And if none of these men saw this woman and child

And ruled in no regret for their unnecessary actions

Than they should go back home

And learn what it is to be a human being

And then try again.
