in the aftermath of the
"kingdom of heaven"

taken from meriam webster online dictionary
the definition of "world war" is

Function: noun:
a war engaged in by all or most of the principal nations of the world; especially capitalized both Ws : either of two such wars of the first half of the 20th century

has anyone come to think that we began our 21st century in style?
with a world war?

a war engaged by most of the world.
pray tell me
, which country in the world right now is really not at war?

u know it,
the old wars,
the IRA,
the tamil tigers,
the whole palestinian thing,
and the biggest war?
the whole terrorism thing.

if we were to say this is not WW3 as predicted by the doomsayers
it is only because we force and deny and tell ourselves,
this is peace

i don't know about you,
but the first 2 decades of my life?
i lived in peace time
and man..
it sure was different

its a different kind of war,
but not being bombarded by never ending bombs
not being splattered by a million bullets,
doesn't mean there isn't a war going on
when your personal safety and peace can be disrupted by violent means
it signifies a war

so,
once again
welcome to the 21st century

we are the smarter ones,
or are we?
