Retribution
warning: adult material
(I bear witness)
In times of war we do what we have to do
Retribution
(I bear witness)
they came early, dragged out the men,
nailed them eagled strung to the walls.
the boys they shot through the knees,
bent forced to cut their own throats, filmed
the black blood leak into the drains.
thick rain screams from turbid skies;
the Earth turns, opens its dried womb
for these lives removed, gouged eyes
blind to the fate of those left behind –
each stripped, whipped, gang-raped, doused and torched,
bodies, meatless, left for the rats.
I watched from the cropped mountain top,
among the rocks hidden by the clouds,
the children folded to my sides,
blindfolded – to such savagery
they cannot be witness; only I,
I carry the scars, memories,
seeds, which will trace back to this day
condemn the arms and those that armed –
complicit all, innocent none.
guilty all, those satellite eyes,
glued to the daily live streamed kills;
I know each one, will hunt them down.
Self-defense is a human right. Why should the nation-state have a monopoly on violence? No matter how crazy an individual is, he can’t firebomb an entire city. Still, i am left wondering who the enemy is, what is the context of the atrocities? You don’t have to go to an exotic place to get this behavior. Here in the States it seems born of boredom more than any historic injustice.
No insult to PilgermannBM I admire his honesty and passion. What gets me is the way the world is turning into the very thing my parents warned me about. Communism. Pitting one type of people against another. no free speech so that those of us (as myself) who will NEVER take the vaccine will be blackballed by the brain controlled masses and people are encouraged to spy and betray their neighbours. yes, I may as well come out and say it…I do not trust the government and I will NEVER take their DNA changing vaccine.

You are not alone. The world is in a dork place and getting darker but there are millions keeping faith and know better than to believe CNN.
Aho!
You have nailed it: “there is great wealth to be made in war and vaccines”. The world is armed because there is money to be made, and to these people it does not matter who they arm, who is killed. Morality is dead – there are very few left with a conscience and they are being sidelined, called traitors, unpatriotic, and all because the golden lottery needs to continue and no one is going to stop it spinning. But there are people who will use the same technology and AI which is supporting this to bring it down as well.
We shall over come. We are called to be beacons of light in a dark world,
The world is full of very loving people but the dark side is in full flow to conquer that. They have already lost.
Blessings on your wounded but strong shoulders.
Namaste
