cancelled indefinitely

the thought alone shouldn’t be just mine
greatest country still despite all the flaws and
threat of force to obey the laws
to the letter—oh, we better
our freedom somehow depends on it
world leader still in militarization and creating debt
and killing people with drones in the sky
it’s like something out of a science fiction movie
peace is what it is not and truth never
comes out as the story develops
from what happened to where
those in power need it to go
who benefits from conflict who would
want separation and division
war becomes the only option because there is no more diplomacy
who makes up these rules and why do we let them
prepare for the worst and get called paranoid
for most will always believe the stories told
it makes no difference that it doesn’t make sense
and it only seems to worry those who think logically
who could pull that much wool over so many eyes
by the time everyone figures it out
holding out hands needing a citizen bail—
out,  the economy most likely worse
vague words swirl around what’s really happening
promises that soon things will be looking up plenty
of debt passing on the payment to
future generations to understand why
peace historically has always been out of reach
or never even an attempted goal
by deception they shall do more war
instilling militant resistance and
fear in countries being attacked in defense
of freedom from
foreign entanglements always putting
aggression on top of more aggression
try peace for a change from one end of the world
to the other side and maybe humanity is naturally violent
make(s) the wrong decision and leaving
us to wonder who stands with them as
accomplices to the brutality of war
to the innocent and
their homeland
plans probably cancelled indefinitely…

I always read down first...it puts the rest in context...like it...especially the citizen bailout.

this time the down thought wasn't mine, but it's why i wrote my thought with it as the down thought, it inspired my thought, every word!!... the quote is by Herman Hesse
