“Where Storms Nest by Stewart Stafford
Time's arrow has left its quiver,
And mortal men denied a sliver,
Of sweet-faced solace or settled debt,
Surrendering all to sweeping death.
Beware the vixen with the perished pup,
Of merciless slight and sacrilegious sup,
Of mother's milk and witches' brew,
Curdling infamy and death's-head stew.
The trap is sprung, the rider unseated,
A mourning procession for the defeated,
A great wrong sits on the anointed throne,
She is Queen Bee and you, but a drone.
From a spider's web veil, she does regard,
Hateful glances from black heart's shard,
Envenomed nature of poisonous Man,
The scorpion's strike of a foul plan.
After seeking power and blood and lust,
Remorse a late guest to a dagger's thrust,
The vulture shrieks to the globe's outer rim,
That Man's ambition is a Hell to him.

“Innocent teary eyes
Grief stricken face
You look everywhere with fear
And with feelings of helpless pain!
When you should be playing with
Dolls and dancing in the rain!
Neither do you like to wear new dresses,
Nor sing, laugh, and play with the toy train!
Oh my dearest sweet child!
Please forgive us all we men,
For we have made this world
Fit for only guns, bombs and
Acid rain!”

“Grown men send children into battle throughout the world, all the time. Old men create conditions for conflicts, fuel hostilities, and pretend to defend core values—good against evil—whereas all they are doing is ferociously protecting their privileges while coveting the riches of others. They hatch toxic strategies, then send their children charging at the enemy.
To hide their deadly avarice, they speak with conviction about courage and patriotism while bunkered in their headquarters, in offices or on television sets while the blood of youths is spilled in combat, their spirits mangled by the ferocity of battles that will pollute their souls forever.
This vicious cycle starts all over again with every generation, because no war is ever won for good. Hatred feeds the desire for vengeance, which is transmitted alongside genes. The first drop of blood spilled at the dawn of the world triggered the bloodshed that we stubbornly perpetuate all over the earth.”

“Bloodshed on screen is not the art of storytelling — just as the dictionary is not a work of literature. Crafting A-rated violent movies requires more than facts; it demands the alchemy of narrative, emotion, and purpose.”

“The suffering was over; the killing and bloodshed had stopped. Mind you, the poverty—even there, in the richest neighborhood of Kabul—was shocking: the children barefoot, their wounds and scars evidence of deprivation and the brutal past. But while their faces showed their malnourishment, their eyes glimmered with hope for a better future”

“It's a tragic state of affairs, when we get used to the sight of blood. If the sight of blood makes you sick, it's good - it's a sign that your humanity isn't yet lost.”
