Somebody just asked a random question in a casual discussion. Why does war exist? My few words on this question. May be correct or incorrect or inadequate. One can add more and more nuances to it. But maybe human kind is basically blood thirsty. Killing maybe our base instinct which increasing sophistication has somehow masked. And it rears its ugly head one in a while.

War does exists

To cleanse the world

Of the pathetic lives

That crowd the earth

War does exist

To remind everyone

That peace does cost

Blood of the peers

War does exists

To vent out rage

Of grandiose folks

Who holds all stakes

Finally war does exists

To further our claim

On stones and rubble

On a rock in the space
