The war is over
The U.S. wants to prove it's technology
Gotta be #1
Gotta sell
Selling death
The death instinct as Freud thought?
Or just the love of money
How ironic/evil for a nation that calls itself "Christian"
But the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Were no-thing
Even the "Mother Of All Bombs"
Dropped on Syria is said to be more power-full
Stupid thoughts
They are all evil
The power-full [i.e. greedy, vicious,...] nations
That wield power must [be] stop[ped]
The U.S. spends nearly $800,000,000,000
On death
Starving the poor
And devouring the earth: the land, water, air...
Devouring our minds, spirits, souls
Demanding hatred
Embracing exceptionalism
Condemning others while doing/be-ing worse
Nato members bow to the U.S. pressure
When most of the world pleads to ban nuclear weapons
The U.S. sends a memo to allies to vote against it
And to boycott the vote
Like good sub-missive whimps
The "leaders" obey the U.S.
"God forbid" they ask their people
Oh yea, democracy in action!
This sham of free nations, democracy
The rich and corporations rule
We stay silent and talk about how great and free we are
And, oh, we are so much better than those dictators in Iran, Venezuela, China, Russian, ....
Isn't it time for corporations to stop making weapons
Shouldn't we be making the world better?
But what about the share holders?
I don't want to give up my 2 homes [so many have cottages!], my cars, my trips
Our greed
Feeds war
When will we blush
With shame?
Time to heed:
You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.'
But I tell you: Love your enemies, bless those who curse you,
do good to those who hate you,
that you may be sons [and daughters] of your Father in heaven....
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5
