War is insane.
How many lives lost to have become numb to those words?
100 million? 200 million?
For their sacrifice...
Soldiers do not sacrifice their lives
Those that died wanted to live. They so wanted to live.
They were murdered, as they murdered.
Innocent children, women, the frail, the elderly - ‘collateral damage’
Jesus Christ.
Your blood soaked flag of imagined meaning.
How much suffering with each flutter?
War is not glorious. War is grotesquely, horribly, cruel.
Babies blown to bits. Hold that image as they march by, flag high.
‘Necessary’ evil is still evil. And it has always been a choice.
Open your eyes to your family of humankind, adrift on a small lonely planet immersed in an unbelievably hostile universe. And then, open your heart.
Choose peace.
