Wasted Lives

Wasted Lives

Miles and miles of nothingness…
Wait.
Ah, a spot in the distant…
No, not a spot, a horizon.
A horizon of motivated allegiance to the devil.
Marching forward with false purpose.
Ludicrous.

What an absolute tank crash!
Steel clad puppets with toy sticks.

Those hordes will miss their mothers
And their sisters and lovers and friends.
Just to go kill other mothers and brothers and children?
What’s the point?
Are they just dead-eyed monsters?
Where is the humanity gone!
Ridiculous.

Fighting for honour and justice?
Ha! Delusions of glory
on young impressionable minds.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 
Keep marching on little ducks.
To the destruction of your life,
the life of others and
Goodness. Humanity. Innocence.
Where’s the love?!
Absurd.

Unfortunately, the most common defense we people have against our own eventual extinction is ourselves. We have too much time on our hands, and spend it stabbing each other. Sad, but true.Β 

Nice write.
