the need and its greed for dominance

i need a fight �
don't need a cause �
do no ask why � �
just because � �
i can � �
the man � �
i have � �
to prove � �
my worth � �
this earth � �
is mine � �
��
violence? � �
is fine � �
so long � �
i get � �
my hands � �
this land � �
these lands � �
ice � �
deserts � �
or sands � �
i fight � �
'cause might � �
is right � �
� �
there can be no reason � �
to deny � �
me � �
what's nature � �
my nature � �
by nature � �
fight � �
survive � �
and thrive � �
� �
only the � �
the fittest � �
live(s) � �
� �
argument � �
is in vain � �
as pain � �
has no place � �
in nature � �
� �
the place � �
is for the victor � �
war � �
never pretty � �
weak � �
never gritty � �
� �
i need war � �
for your peace � �
and ease � �
to live � �
so forgive � �
when i do � �
what i am � �
born to � �
� �
it
always � �
was � �
and � �
always
will be kill � �
or be killed � �
this is what � �
nature � �
willed � �
� �
free will? � �
now what the hell is that?

Author's Note

My Sincere Thanks to Josh for raison d'�tre of this scribble, his Anti War Poem Comp. this piece is not intended to be pro-war nor any explanation/justification of man's tendency to fight. the 'turn' at the end should make it abundantly clear that free will, i.e the gift to humans that differentiates from Angels and animals CAN be used to fight the nature i.e survival of the fittest and "you live coz i dominate and protect" mindset.

You bring light to a well thought out point with this write, my brother.
The ingrained nature of every plant, insect and animal on this earth is the want/need to multiply it's species.
The only difference between us and them is we have the ability to empathize with our victims
which cause us to pause and reflect on our actions.

It is this emotion that erupts the only war that can not be won... the war within ourselves to overcome our very nature.
