WAR – the creator

( of destruction and death )

From the beginning of mans time on this earth,

he has been a killing machine

- killing for food to survive,

- killing for a plot of land,

- killing because of prejudice,

- killing because of differences,

- killing by some quirk of fate,

– killing by some unforeseen accident.

Man killed with his sticks and stones,

breaking many of his fellow man’s bones.

As man evolved, progressed ?,

over millions of years.

From
Pliopithecus, 22–12 million year old "ancestor of the gibbon line" to,

Proconsul, 21–9 million year old primate which may or may not have qualified as an ape to,
Dryopithecus, 15–8 million year old fossil ape, the first such found (1856) and probable ancestor of modern apes to,
Oreopithecus, 15–8 million years old to,
Ramapithecus, 13–8 million year old ape and possible ancestor of modern orangutans (now classified as Sivapithecus) to,
Australopithecus, 2–3 million years old; then considered the earliest “certain hominid”

Paranthropus, 1.8–0.8 million years old to.

Advanced Australopithecus, 1.8–0.7 million year old to,

Homo erectus, 700,000–400,000 years old, then the earliest known member of the Homo genus to,

Early Homo sapiens, 300,000–200,000 years old;

from Swanscombe, Steinheim and Montmaurin, then considered probably the earliest H. sapiens to,

Solo Man, 100,000–50,000 years old; described as an extinct Asian "race" of H. sapiens (now considered a sub-species of H. erectus) to,

Rhodesian Man, 50,000–30,000 years old; described as an extinct African "race" of H. sapiens

(now considered either H. rhodesiensis or H. heidelbergensis and dated much earlier) to,

Then the gods became involved in the genetic evolution of man.

Neanderthal Man, 100,000–40,000 years old to,

Cro-Magnon Man, 40,000–5,000 years old ,

And then we have Adam and Eve,

Modern Man, 40,000 years to present .

We

As children of the gods, emulate our creators,

and they where violent, warring gods.

History, the old testament, the dead sea scrolls,

the Mesopotamian tablets,

the East Indian Sanskrit,

and many, many more sources tell us so.

War is in our genes, in our blood.

After thousands of years of wars The Great War,

World War One sprung to life and death,

then came World War Two.

Today, November 11^th , we take a moment

to member the men and women,

solders and civilians alike,

that gave their lives to insure

we could live out our lives

in some semblance of freedom.
