This did not come of nowhere as you say

This did not come of nowhere as you say

This did not come out of nowhere as you say.
This was not wholey unexpected on this day.
Your dead eyes are lying old man in blue.
This violence is not new, it’s just that’s it happening to you.
You are the aggressors.
You are the occupiers. 
You are the murder’ers in victim’s clothing 
The only convenient truth is that these men fought back at you.
So you can go back and hurt them more and then stand up and say that they started this today? 
That this came out of no where?
Do you really believe yourself?
This came out of your murderous occupation.
This came out of decades of war.
This came out of the white man’s playbook on how to complete genocide while smiling innocently.

Hello Garth...

What does the world you desire look like?

No matter what if we see tomorrow it's the first step into the future...

​​​​​We should we try and stop people from living in the past?

People before us made the decisions...

Was everyone always perfect?

Are there other Countries who lived your plan?

Did they Succeed or Fail?

If you answered No...

When we reach your destination...

Are you still going to be fighting?

If your answer is Yes...

We have some to time to check the success rate...

Have you seen it up close for yourself?

How's your Bird's eye view?

Why did they leave?

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Wow; so many great questions. 

I guess I desire love and kindness a utopia. But that’s not realistic I fear. It seems you can’t have a top without a bottom.

I believe that the past is the past and by continuing the past ideas and ideologies that lead to genocide and violence to the present we just create a new torment and continue genocide.

I dont think forgetting is realistic, but to let go and move forward, that’s the key and don’t get me wrong I don’t think that’s an easy thing to do at all. But right now to have all this justification on ANY side is the wrong way in my view.

We all fucked up; it’s not pretty; how do we move forward without creating more generations of damaged people.

It’s a Birds Eye view that will poke us all in the eye if it keeps going this way. We are all part of this world, it affects us all.
we are all human.

Nice. I like the thoughts it invoked for me. But my first thought was but is it a white man's playbook. We really don't know if there were any white ancient people. And I'm betting war arrived long before modern man or even man, because even animals war.

Thanks for your reply and your question. I guess for me it’s a white mans mentality-
“like move over sister and do it my way and if you don’t, I’ll make you pay. And then I’ll blame it on you down the line”.

It maybe simply a human trait that I have identified with white men(as I feel they are predominant perpetrators of this behaviour for the last few centuries as far as I can tell) and actually any race/gender is capable of it.

Hello Garth...

​​​​​​A 1/2 Bikini is an attention getter I would say...

​​​​​​A Cheeseburger with 1/2 a Bun would be fun to see someone try and eat it...

The cost of Buns are outrageous...

Would you like the Top or Bottom?

Never say never right?

​​​​​​Some people find love when they stop looking for it...

​​​​​​Thank you for your very kind reply...

Last 3 lines just about sum it up.
war should be banned worldwide with only the two.top leaders of opposing sides forced to dual it out somewhere quiet...that way only one person would die!! x

Hmmm...this certainly did not come out of nowhere!   Nothing comes out of nowhere. It always, always starts from somewhere and it is always the innocent who pay the highest price. I AM 100% anti war. I do not agree with the mass killing of innocent people. Why aren't all the other world leaders trying to get them into peace talks? Proper peace talks. How is taking sides ever going to be best practise?

Last 3 lines very true.

Humans!!  🙄
