The Red See

Bloodshed is the cost of conflict.

There are similarities between us, and the dinosaurs;

we are both herbivores, and carnivores.

But, there is one characteristic that makes us, and the dinosaurs distinct.

And that characteristic is, we have a mind, and are not creatures of instinct.

The dinosaurs did not have the ability to change their fate, nor the power to thwart their destiny when they were deemed to be extinct.

Through our wars and personal quarrels,

we are achieving nothing, but sending our existence into peril.

Before you clench a fist, take a moment, THINK!

Just like mother-nature, we should exist in harmony amongst one another; we should be connected and in sync.

Why hate and be jealous of one another?

Know your neighbors; take a moment to get acquainted.

Realize, skin is just paint —if your eyes are tainted.

Flesh is an obscurity of the soul.

Physicality does not define a person’s character in totality; flesh is just a part of their being. It does not define who they are as a whole.

The only sure results we get in wars are wounds, eyes that don’t blink —alongside of smells that stink.

War only guarantees one thing; there will be enough blood spilled for the vampires to drink.

    Great job conveying that humans can care for one another instead of hating.
