Battle Lines

There once was a time

When battle lines were well defined

Codes of conduct strictly adhered to

Civilians were insulated

That now seems sooo far away

I think that idiot Hitler got the ball rolling

Now civilians

Churches

Schools

Robbing and looting before a victor has been declared

Civilization seems to be headed backwards

Even the knowledge limited  caveman knew to not indiscriminately kill babies

How barbaric modern man has become

I myself am for world peace

Knowing that that is a wasted wish

How bout we do this...

Right now the leader of my country and the leader of North Korea are rattling sabers

Instead of going to war

What say idiot #1 and idiot #2 get together somewhere

Anywhere

And battle to the death

If my idiot

Ooops

Leader survives he is free to pick another fight with ANY other idiot

Ooops did it again

Leader that he chooses

If one or both idiots are killed

Yeah I know I did it again

We just pick a new leader and hope that the new leader won't be such a damn idiot!!!

At the absolute least...

We should demand that the battle lines be drawn and adhered to
