Chi-Raq

War. It takes years to raise a human being. It takes the pain of childbirth to bring a child onto this planet. It takes years of sleepless nights, money for education, food and shelter to raise a human to adulthood. It takes years to save money for a house, to build a family, to start a career.
It takes money to buy weapons. It takes millions to invest into tanks, missiles, biological weapons, bombs, and bullets. It takes millions to provide soldiers with their meals, uniforms, and equipment. It takes millions to train and school how to kill and how to do it well.
It takes seconds to kill a person. It takes seconds to destroy a building. It takes moments to divide nations. 
It takes years to learn from mistakes. We've been there. We have sources, historical facts, documents. We know that there were wars which took a toll of millions of innocent citizens. We know that fear, economic instability, hatred, and prejudice triggered tragedies that destroyed a beautiful world and it took decades to rebuild this world again. 
War is a waste of money, a waste of life and a waste of time. And still, there is war. There's still violence and crime. There's war in the world and small wars happen every day on the streets of even the smallest cities.
People resort to various means to spread the message of peace. They compose ballads, write poems or books, make films. The greatest strength of women is sex. What if this weapon was used for the higher good? Extremely important: Chi-Raq.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
