No Great War For Our Generation

[RuffDraft]

Nice piece Stupot :tu

You a big fan of History? It's true all of what you said, thankfully, we was never born then...

But in terms of how a war brings the people together, I missed the post-war years that my Grandparents have enjoyed... I remember (being a little older than you) that walking through their village, my Grandad would life his hat and say good morning to everyone in the street... that kind of respect has died out and as I watch my Grandad walk the same street, it's a shame that he's one of the last from his generation. He doesn't lift his hat anymore because there is no one there who would do it back.

By the way, if you're into war a lot, the Forgotten Highlander is a great book about a Scottish soldier who spends most of his time in the East. His story is incredible.

Thanks Draft, its my first piece, im gonna start doing a few more in my spare time.

im not a fan of war. i just been watching a lot of war documentrys recently and even though i strongly disagree with it, it is entertaining and interesting. so thanks for the book suggestion, but my reading is like my itunes, im reading 10 books at once. i might give it a read when i get finished with one of them haha.

Yeah i know, i 100% agree with you, war can bring people and nations together. i feel our generation are zombies thanks to new technology and attitude towards each other. but i dont think war is neccisary for this haha.

Yeah, you should... I think anyone who gets into hip hop on a deeper level eventually turns to writing poetry of sorts just to see what you can come up with, you should check out Dessa in The Essence, she used to be a poet and is now making records as part of Doomtree.

hahaha nah, tbh, if I was to recommend a book, I'd recommend the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, which is my favourite book... but if you want to read one about war go with The Forgotten Highlander, really great read, one of those books that you read and wonder 'How is this man still alive?' lol.

Yeah, technology and just plain selfishness. Definitely agree that there are better ways of bringing people together than world war though!! haha
