“That a small disagreement can escalate into the organised destruction of human beings and the violation of peace on earth, should be something to look back on and not across at in our world today.”
-FREDERICK ROUSSEL
The 2 armies at war start to run out of their deadly and powerful resources.
But then in walks the devil’s toy maker, the weapons seller.
The toy maker will make them the same no matter who they sell to, as it is all about profit no matter what.
And look at all the toys they have to choose from. Big intimidating toys, but toys none the less.
All dressed up and playing war, they must have their war toys or they will whine and scream, causing a fuss.
The giant babies in the sky who cannot be controlled, forcing the rest of the population to endure their sickness and addiction to a state of constant war.
The beady eyed weapons salesman would not sell them in public, but he sells.
The toys are exciting for the backward thinking individuals who believe they so desperately need them. Gang warfare and fighting over territory, playing political games with real people’s lives.
Plunging earth into a frenzy and ruining it all because they happen not to want to calm down.
The toy collection consists of everything dangerous that is lethal, no barbies, no sense of humour.
Just weapons designed to cause pain to others, and which will in the end only bring pain and suffering to themselves.
The backward General of 2022 who behaved so irrationally by invading a country not his own, is the same fool who did so hundreds of years ago in one form or another.
But perhaps one day the toys can be taken away and they will simply have to either talk it through like sane rational people or slug it out one on one, but stripped completely of any ability to take the world down with them.
They’ll miss their war toys one day and will need therapy. But the world will rest easy knowing that its war-torn days are long over, and that peace came via enlightenment and human courage.
Ultimately it is an illness when people are organised simply to be in a state of war, as it goes against anything which makes any sense. And the toys once melted down can just make something better, whatever that may be.
Hiding behind toys creates monsters out of human beings, and believing in war creates a sickness from which many would rather be immune.
That a small disagreement can escalate into the organised destruction of human beings and the violation of peace on earth, should be something to look back on and not across at in our world today.
