God and Country
God told me to do it. Not directly but through God’s chain of command. He praised me for being a valiant warrior, He decorated my chest in pretty ribbons and hot metal freshly forged to show the valorous deeds I had done in his name and for my country. His law says I shall not kill, His mouth says kill freely and liberate a nation. God said to stand and watch a bucket of shit in the middle of a desert, I did, for three days. Then I dug a hole and burnt it, because God said too. God told me I should be proud of what I do or did, for I did it in his name. I sent another man to his God in the name of my God so that they could have their eternity. I did as God asked and felt Godlike in my doings. I am not God. Puppet Master tell me, is this your intention? Is my torment worth the price of your admission to this Morality play of injustice and torture placed upon my head?
No God you do not know, you sit upon your imperial throne dictating what shall be done. God you cast thousands out to another nation to kill in your name without thought of the toll on their heads. God You sent people to their death knowingly whilst you sat in your stately manor or fishing at some hole in Texas or Arkansas depending on which God we talk about. God for once take a step in the shoes of the puppet and hold a man on his last breath knowing his child is across the world and will never see him again. God tell that man what he did is an honor and privilege to the society who could a rats ass about him as long as they can continue their daily lives. God raise him from his eternal slumber.. What? You can not do that? Well then end this now! Huh? You can not do that either.
Then give comfort to his family, give wealth and joy to their hearts so they may at least carry on.. What? You will not do that either?
Well for a God .. You fall short of measure.
