Fighting for your country

Is a much more

Interesting and

Vaguely dangerous

Justification

Than admitting

To being

A mercenary

For a

Criminal corporation

In cahoots with

The government

To steal resources

Under the guise

Of democracy and

Freedumb

Allowing people

Who want to

Kill people

A legal “outlet”

For wanting

To do so

“Everyone who joined the military, joined the military cause they kinda want to go kill other people.

Right? And that’s good. That’s your instinct. Your instinct is your true God, follow it. If you just want to fucking kill someone, there’s a place for it.

Go to the military. As long as people who kinda want to go kill other people are going to kill other people who kinda wanna go to kill other people, you’re killing all the right people, and opening up all the best parking spaces.”

– Doug Stanhope

I get it I do

I used to be

Captain America

Still have a flag once

Flown over the Capital

Have a large flag

I used to display

Now folded in its

Respectful triangle

However

Speaking of flags

And freedom

The cyclical

Regurgitation of

Contention over

Flag burning

Is exhausting

It is a mindless debate

Foisted upon the weak

To stir alleged patriotism

When it is in general

A diabolical distraction

.

 

I took the red pill

Long before Neo did

“Red Pill: A life of harsh knowledge, desperate freedom, and the brutal truths of reality.

Blue Pill: A life of luxurious security, tranquil happiness, and the blissful ignorance of the harsh realities of life, basking in an (essentially dishonest) illusion.”

– Wikipedia

The older I get

The more acute

Or cute the questions

“This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”

– “Morpheus”
– “The Matrix”

How can one not look back in recent history to see how GWB manipulated information and the media to have a war in Iraq, when the alleged “attackers” were in Afghanistan?

So what gives in Iran? Minding their own business following the nuclear treaty which gets altered to make them, not in compliance. Stirring tensions, hate and nationalism for what purpose?

My guess it is imperialism at its worst, that or someone found some cheap oil.

 

When is the collective going to wake up and realize there is no us and them? It is all just us, hurling through the cosmos on a giant spaceship that we better learn to maintain before it falls apart.
