Prophecy
The westerners step up to the plate and it’s gated and they try and try but its not in them to know. The world they know is gated and they try and they try. They won’t cry, at least not this time, not while we’re watching. Would that make them wrong if they admitted it, if they submitted to it, to learn or to see the villages they burn. But who are we if not the same, if people are really people. So do we kill ourselves as much as we kill they, the oppressed, or is it us, the ones who are free, who do not see. Will we lay down our arms to make ourselves available for wrapping them around each other or even one of another color. But it’s never us, it’s the ones selling the things we buy, the things that make us cry if we go without, we will pout and we will eat and drink to fill the void that we can’t hide if we don’t hide ourselves. Even hiding is getting harder and harder as our bodies fill up with the things we buy, we can’t even die before getting high. And the ones that we trust to take our lives, don’t just take our lives they take our tithes and our balance is no longer. So why do we try and try, maybe if we would just cry, maybe if we let ourselves die, die without trying to fly too high. The truth may be that we want to be high, looking down on ourselves but not truly being ourselves. So now its ok to try and try and never cry out, to never shout that this is wrong, this consuming continent we’ve become does not touch us.. but it does touch us, just not the ones we would like to be, oh God tell me that’s not us. So is this really me, the one who is free, would you like to be free like me, free of every sense of decency toward humanity.
As we battle on other lands, I wonder why they won’t trade with us, play our games and eat with us, pray with us, let their children play with ours, adopting our freedom and our common sense of democracy. Maybe I am just ruminating, or do I need to be more accommodating for the idea, this idea that the enemy is us. That we are the great consuming power making deals with the devil, buying our goods from the one who kills us with his profits. Its time to stop buying and maybe start dying for the reasons we say we do, and what is freedom if never defined.
