The War on
Terror, Drugs, Poverty is a War on You, but
it’s ok, we’re cannon fodder anyway...
Is it
conspiracy theory to find before your eyes that whenever government pronounces
war, it pronounces war against it’s own people, as much as terrorists,
criminals, the poor, foreigners?
The War on
Terror is a war on political dissent. A globalised movement of tactical
engagement with societies that do not wish to conform to the global capitalist
model. Iran will be next, in’sh’allah not, but it seems all too likely from how
stupidly screwed up this world is.
The War on
Drugs, is a war against youth, hippies, radicals, and scumbags. Pull em into
the framework. No-one escapes the machine. This machine. It runs on Alcohol.
But. Not too much! Sobriety or prision.
The War on
Poverty is a literal war on the poor. Charity, business, government, provide the
nexus that holds down self-determination and development in every single
instance. The free market is not free, but controlled tyrannously, with
contract, coercion, fratricide and oiled by lies, blackmail and murder.
The War on
You? It’s your life. Welcome to the image of a boot stamping on a miscellaneous
face forever, because it’s your face and in the mirror is every broken dream
you could never follow, cause fate didn’t flow that way. Bills bills and bills
flowed through you like affirmations of your existence, financial signals of
productivity and progress. Then you got cancer from the radiation everywhere
and fosseils burning, all, all for a “civilised life”.
And amid
all this war... the chirp chirp chirp of peace. Birdsong, water trickling sound and summer. People getting high, people
getting down. Terrorists having a knees up, Criminals scheming, the Poor winning
at the bookies, foreigners being charming,
people living, people dying, getting married, walking alone, having a
laugh, having a cry, having a bath, wondering why, still Warring. Pure Beauty.
What is the
point of it all? Where does the war come from? The endless warring... does it
come from sin? Does it come from God, or something just below God in power, but
above man? Can we ever let go of it? That war for the best not the worst inside
ourselves even? Is just sitting down and saying: “I’m not fighting anymore” a better course of action? I am as I
so I fail? When does the War end?
When does
it end?
The heat
death of the universe? That’s a sorry bloody punchline. In a fiery hell or
angelic heaven? No. Back reborn into this life anew? Meh. What about flowing as
a spirit forever, able to do anything, across dimensions of space and time
which we can’t even conceive? Better?
Is this why
death and birth are so horrible experiences?
Are we all
just soldiers, vicariously cast in different times, on different sides?
Of a never
ending series of little wars, skirmishes and battles.
Is this why
I feel like cannon fodder?
All are
lambs to the slaughter.
You can get
a lot of answers with questions. Hard word though. Kind of like: Caring.
