Elucidating Questions

It’s it just really messed up living life while knowing others are in a war zone?

I can’t do anything

But it still feels like I should

But war is not a game of men anymore

It is a game of machines and pawns in the shape of men

Shadows who have been brainwashed into believing they are superior

That those they mow down are less than

That have no standing

Even if they came out of their machines

Reasoning with them would be pointless

The possibility of words being carried into the battlefield instead of arms

It’s dead in present war

Can’t talk to the lord on the other side

Most aren’t even close enough to see the humanity in their victims’ faces

Battle is not a personal affair

It is impersonal

Some rich man somewhere else pulling the strings

Well out of harm’s way

The pawns on the battlefield don’t even know who he is

The machines feel nothing as they sail through the sky to destroy

Everything

To the rich man

Is automated

Automated war

Are these people you fire at?

Are they only people when the West stops calling them aggressors?

The children on the street?

It’s this feeling of I would trade anything to make people see the humanity in every person they meet

But it wouldn’t matter now, would it?

Men and women

Who believe they are firing at human targets

It’s a fun exercise

The inhumanity of war is ignored, time and again, in favour of constantly building more and worse death machines

No one ever considered there was a point we should stop

All because someone else might find the worse thing first

So we have to find it first

So excited to destroy other humans

You’d think we would have a problem with humans who eagerly destroy other humans

But no

We give them funding

It’s only serial killer behaviour if it’s at our own people, or current allies

And everyone just watched as their countries built as much potential destruction as possible

Funneling funding that should have gone into government social programs

Into communities

Instead we used it up on death

I don’t know why it doesn’t hurt other people to know this

Our countries weren’t just funding our own death machines, they were funding others

So now our countries can efficiently kill eachother

And us

But they can’t keep their people from starving on the street

It’s madness

Why is this the perfected method of humanity’s survival?

Jesus was like you guys should love eachother and so his followers went around genociding absolutely everyone they could get their hands on

And then they grew up to fund the war machines of other places

And I’m pretty sure “thou shalt not kill” is a commandment

But, no, this.

This world is so different than what you would expect from a populace whose predominantly main man told them to love eachother and care for eachother

And fuck banks

Is it not just a bit… Disappointing?

That saying that the kids made up

“I understood the assignment”

Dude, they did not

They did not understand the assignment
