Two different civilizations in a contest
Both peoples building futuristic cities
Gathering huge well equipped armies
New naval fleets that could pass any test
Fight to the last body, to achieve victory
What is the reason for the desire to harm
Are we seriously so devoted to violence
We'll not allow a neighbor only rivals
Precious resources spent upon weapons
As people die of hunger, masses restless
We could thrive but barely achieve survival
An answer exists, humans love aggression
Let us attempt to escape our date with fate
And not allow the human species go extinct
For the collective evil acts of our own hands
This work is fictional, the images shared come from public domain sources
both in future architecture and weapons of the past. But the question is real
and everyone does not agree with the commentary I've just made that we are
a species that loves aggression.
John Keegan's very important description of how humans evolved to be so violent
A different view of human species' proclivity toward violence
“It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless
they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.” Voltaire
“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified,
is not a crime.” Ernest Hemingway
