WAR
-------------------------
October 20, 2007 - DarkGothDragon
 
I read an email just now describing what the average American soldier is like. It reminded me so very much of my friend who is at this moment in Iraq . How can you be so proud of someone, and so horribly scared for them, for all the same reasons?
I had to write this afterwards:

I support the troops.
I support the American troops
And the Iraqi troops
And the European troops
And the Afghani troops
I support all the troops in the world
I do not support their Commanders in Chief
The people who are fighting this war
Did not start this war
THESE wars
Wars are started by people who dream of war
As if it were some great and glorious contest
At the end of which one man…
Excuse me…one country…
Stands victorious, and some angel nearby
Hands him a great golden trophy
So all the world knows
He is great
People who have such dreams
Should be put down in a deep hole
All of them
Together
To fight out their dreams themselves
And they should never
Be let out again
And when the last man lies starving
< SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #000000; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Having eaten all the dead
Rotting flesh of his enemies
At last he will understand War

Honestly, my writing is not usually quite so bleak as this and "Fall of Civilization". I'll have to make a point to post some dreamier things here sometime.
