Why Do Wicked Men Want War

Why destroy something beautiful? Just to rule what doesn’t want you to rule it ? We want only peace 🙏

Why Do Wicked Men Want War

Why do some people want a war?

To kill, to rule, to maim. Its monster brain men,

Drunk on control, sharpening power into weapons,

Calling destruction strength, calling cruelty order.

Some even want to use nuclear weapons,

To destroy not just man, but the whole seed of being,

The earth reduced to ash and silence,

A final scream swallowed by fire and light.

They sit far from the fallout and the graves,

Hands clean, suits pressed, voices calm,

Sending others to burn and vanish,

While they play gods with borrowed time.

Children become numbers, cities become targets,

Lives reduced to maps and marks,

Homes erased with a single command,

History undone in a breath of heat.

The soil remembers every footstep and bone,

The sky carries the weight of what was lost,

Rivers choke on the poison of ambition,

The planet mourns without a voice.

War feeds on lies dressed up as duty,

On fear shaped into obedience,

It grows fat on broken families,

On silence where laughter once lived.

Power without mercy rots from the inside,

It cannot build, it can only destroy,

No crown survives the end of everything,

No ruler stands above the dead earth.

If the seed of being is burned away,

There is no victory left to claim,

Only emptiness staring back at itself,

And the truth too late to be undone

Some even want to use nuclear weapons to destroy not just man but the whole seed of being the Earth. It has to end please god 🙏
