believe in belief
cradle your wisdom
keep your skin or not
you would ink your signature too
he’s done with war for profit
it’s on you

time for battle!
the multiplex oracle explodes
into your failed history in high def
whish BOOM POP, metal and arteries
two generations out, the insanity
your kids are at war again
we send our kids
with honor

special effects!
big screen pump ‘em out
you are there, will be soon
BOOM BOOM bomb in a briefcase
you need a reason, gimme a reason
to go out and straighten it all out
oh he knows about uncle patton
make some other fuck die for it
patton was a useful psychopath
wasn’t that kind of the point?

here’s where I’m at
with world war 1 and 2
they happened

use them as reasons to fight them
use them as a cinematic backdrop
use them, use them

I got a zen suburb
convenience store
they never happened
we fought for it

even the old wars
still fighting them all
it ain’t what it was
it is what it ain’t

hey, amigo... would you believe all that warring is between your ears? Yeppur... just outside of all those battle cries and bombs and children screaming for mothers dying, peace... pure and unadulterated... just like it is meant to be. carry all that war around and you'll be looking like a warrior seeking another battle, when the battle is within, fighting to set you free. Be Peace... like the desert unexplored.

wow, that was actually a freeing experience. finally got to the point.

yeah, I like it-- officially denounce war for profit and put it on the people. It's their deal now. our deal. If they/we want to continue to swallow that garbage then go for it. have at it! I've grown up in the shadow of one bullshit war after another and been pressured to honor every last one and I've had enough, that's all (as anyone reading my "poems" the last 2-3 years could no doubt tell). enough bullshit already. enough yes men. enough pissing on world war 2's legacy and lessons by inventing "hitlers" lurking in real estate in the path of imperial/corporate hard-on. sorry, but that's not honor. Wars for defense are obscene but have always been a part of the human condition. Doesn't mean they necessarily remain so (there is such a thing as evolution), but they've always been in the mix. I cannot abide wars for Halliburton, Exxon, Blackwater and Unocal (ask the troops in Afghanistan what they're protecting). No one should swallow that garbage, period. In-- my-- (not so?) humble-- opinion. haha.

Mnaz, let Islamic Fundies have Arabia. Let's try solar, ethanol, natural gas, and wind. Let the petro execs go to hell. Enough Hollywood massacres.

John

and cec is right. don't stew in it forever. get it out. move on. (hopefully).
