Burning in paradise

  • Sometimes I think the democrats are playing stupid, like they aint got no tactics. No one is gonna limit the war budget once it’s on and popping. People are death, bombs were dropped. We’re going to have to see this one to the end. Another worthless war and another american taking the bullet. It’s shame really. Finally just got back to peace, after covid-19 and america soliders back at home from the war in afghanistan, we didn’t have five minutes before the american government jumped head first into another war.

    Simultaneously, on the web, I’ve seen videos of a black solider celebrating the purchase of her first house. She was dancing. Something feels oddly strange about that. It’s not a consequence. I can’t trust it. I also saw a video of another solider crying as she realized that she going actually going to war.. I want to pray for her but I don’t believe my prays will protect her. They say war is hell, and how do you prepare someone for hell?

    I think that why I never could join the military, not being able to be in full control. Not being able to have a full spectrum of my own will at an unfair price. Don’t get me wrong I think what they do is admirable, to march into war, ready or not to face death and destruction. But having to prostrate yourself to the US government is dancing with the devil. I hear of how they treat black people, I can visualize what they’d do to the arab.

  • i use to think that killing was a bad thing, at least that was the way i was programmed or raised to believe. but i don’t think that it is as simple as good and bad. and i don’t think that killing is inherently evil. i believe that some people are too quick because they’re immature and/or lazy. and America as a whole has that apart of our ethic. the whole “shoot first ask, questions later” approach has brought forth a lot of unnecessary death. i understand if it’s a life or death situation, if your a soldier or you back is against the wall but it seems cowards will have the advantage and claim they were in fear for their life just so that the courts will justify their cowardice as valor.

    i can respect a man that is slow to kill and understands the weight behind of pulling a trigger. a man that is tough without a gun, a man that will toss his gun to the side and fight with his hands.

    but then there’s the other side. the guys that bought a gun and are looking for a reason. guys that wouldn’t kill with their hands. an ignorant man driven by fear and pride. a guy that’s never thrown a punch. guys that are male but not men. these people deserve hell and slow death. they belong with the abusers, the rapist, the ones that claim to be men and take from the weak and poor.

    i don’t believe that everyone is built to face the death of another person. some of us need to be protected and contribute to community and society in different manners. but i think it’s important to know where you stand, can you protect yourself? could you kill someone if you had to and can you live with your decision to justifiability take another man life? and when i say justifiability i don’t mean the legal system saying it’s okay. i mean can you sit with that weight on your soul? if god takes you today, can you answer for your actions?

    that’s the man, the father, the brother, the protector i work towards being. that’s a true killer. and i pray that you can either be that or have someone that can be that for you. because very few men are as honorable as they claim to be.
