anarchy?

By cre

We wanted freedom

We brought anarchy

We were brave

We had ideals

- - -

But bravery and ideals

Never stopped the bullets

From our neighbor's gun

In the end

There was no one to turn to

And we died in puddles

Of our own congealing blood

But we were brave

And we were free

And we had ideals.

- - -

I think I'd rather live.

Anarchy...it could work...if people weren't people. You summed the theory up perfectly Jane. Who knows, maybe if we create a super race of humans that never kill, then we can have anarchy. One can only hope...
