star wars on the planet earth
they say there is safety in numbers
an old adage likely apocryphal
this day & age
wherever people gather
there exists this potential
for mass devastation
whether by nature herself
or the acting out of malcontents
I suppose from the dawn of time
humans have been unable
to control themselves
whether it be the insatiable desire
to reach for the stars
or thirsting to destroy
that which we fail to comprehend
