We’ve really done it this time, haven’t we? It doesn’t seem to matter how many innocents are lost. We’ve been tallying the death and dismemberment of children in Gaza for years, what’s another 181 Iranian girls going to matter? We’ve allowed racism disguised as good Christian values to rip families apart and while the polls show the majority are not in favor of these draconian acts, we carry on.
We carry on. The cheers of “USA, USA” drown out the realities of the horrors we support and keep us tied to the tribalism that forgets our humanity. The Epstein files throw light on the belief of eugenics and flagrantly flaunt White male superiority, and we carry on.
Our military boasts of its killing capabilities and many of us get paid handsomely in stocks when weapons of mass destruction are deployed. The earth is ravaged, water and air polluted, making simple living impossible. But we carry on. Mars is waiting for us, right?
Legacy media is absolutely corrupt. But we’re addicted to the play by play and most of us stopped thinking critically long ago. Who needs to think? We have pundits and AI chats now.
But most importantly, we believe. We believe in heaven and hell. We believe in White dominance and that the United States can do no wrong. We believe in Santa Claus and all the lies embedded in our history and so we carry on.
Sons and daughters go to war and we are told not all will make it home, as if that makes it better somehow. It’s honest at least.
I have always hated hypocrisy. If god is love, why can’t love be our choice? Why can’t saving humanity be our rallying cry? Please leave your beliefs behind, get to your knowing and let us carry on.
Let us climb out of the ashes and create a better day. Because we can.
An anonymous author from 1583 depicts the immortal phoenix rising from the flames. In is in our DNA to rise again and again. And our time to rise is now.
