Mourn, mourn! For the thousands fleeing from their homes when the bombs dropped and death rained from torrid skies; Mourn, mourn! For those pulverized in the streets mixing blood and sand, steel and plastic – fusing burning human flesh and glass in depleted uranium. ~*~*~*~ Becoming one with all that is: what a simple feat that children, dogs, mice and blades of grass can accomplish with ease when war falls from the oppressor's lips and its fire spews from heaven – did you not hear the monster pray before he gave the word? ~*~*~*~ Mind dead, heart blind the power-butchers kill the innocent claiming it their divine right, no, more: their sacred duty. It's a matter of interpretation (not to be confused with questions of morality or basic human decency): ~*~*~*~ Did not a Master once say the kingdom of heaven belongs to little children? There you have it: kill them now while they remain children and give them back to God – kills two birds with one smart bomb: gets them out of the way so they don't grow up to be rebels against the invader – sorry, against the Chosen Ones. ~*~*~*~ If this seems an oxymoron – what's your take on it? Where were you when prayers aimed at heaven rained back down as cluster bombs? ~*~*~*~ “Now, Miss Liberty, How do you wish to pay for those bombs? American Express? Of course: thank you. A pleasure doing business!” (smile!) |

"Mind dead, heart blind the power-butchers kill the innocent claiming it their divine right, no, more: their sacred duty." "It's God's will"...has been the quintessential chant (and excuse) for mass human cruelty/depravity for millenia...[the various 'Crusades' and Inquisitions, or oxymorons like "holy wars" (jihads; etc.) being prime examples!] 'Organized Religions' have generally proven to be prime scourges throughout human history...all typically FAR more similar in the damage they inflict on the masses of humanity in the name of God...than they are different! |

You write with great passion, WindWalker. and express yourself very well. I wish that your words could make a difference in this world but I don't see that happening. Ida |

I worry for the future generations, if there is an after life I do not think I could cope with witnessing what the oxymorons will perpetrate & be powerless to do anything about it........ |
