<3 Africa
people say there's a purpose in life.
but history really hasn't shown much of a purpose.
sure, we have "progressed"....
but we have moved forward with material and security things
we have the "luxiory" to commute to a job that has security so we can own that home.
while we commute to work we can listen to music and talk to someone far away
some people think they can even pick their nose... but you are not invisible inside your car.
anyways, the thing, the purpose for life, the message of all religions.... is love, compassion, being good and fair
have we progressed in these ways?
sure Swedish and Danish kings haven't fought over diamonds for 200 years,
but African nations remain at war,
they are at war because we commute,
they are at war because diamonds are a girls best friend,
because we've found valuable resource in their land, and can brush aside humanity for money ?
They war because they want their freedom- from u.s.
from the world bank, and TNCs.
Africans in bondage again under white masters. Fudalism went corporate.
Middle Eastern countries are still at war.
Refugees flood Scandinavia.
They war because we commute to our job.
They war because God wants them to.
We shout "We must fight for democracy abroad so we can have democracy at home!"
We must have democracy at home so we can have democracy abroad!
Fighting for Democracy in Iraq
Frighting against democracy in Africa.
What other atrocities are ignored by our culture?
why do we have a selective and skewed notion of "reality"
Why are we only given one version of life?
God is dead.
we haven't figured out how the world works,
after this long looking for a purpose
don't you think God would help us out a little?
All we are, and all we have been is
one religious and zealous despot after the other claiming his truth over anothers
truth he is willing to kill and die for.
