History

John F McMullen

Some may not
believe the story
or even know it
but
the Judeo-Christian Bible
tells the story that
in the beginning of the Earth
there were only two people
from Creation or Evolution
or whatever
a man and a woman

They had everything
they needed
great weather
food
sex (no clothes)
and the God/Spirit/Nature
had only one rule
and they broke it

So it was
get dressed
get out
grow food
labor to live
and that was the real beginning

Supposedly
they had two sons
and one decided the other had more
and killed him for it
and we were off and running

Since then,
we have decided
that the “others”
whoever they are
have prettier women
have more or better land
worship the wrong God
are of a different color
speak a different language
or a threat for any reason
and might kill us
if we don’t kill them first
so we try to

We get better at it
        rocks
        clubs
        spears
        swords
        guns
        canon
        planes
        bombs
        drones
and we get more sophisticated
couching the killing
        war to end all wars
        war of liberation
        a peacekeepjng force
Never facing the real problem
that since Day One
we have been totally fucked up
and humanity is doomed
