Why? I really want to know.
Humanity..... fuck off an die. Seriously.
I don't mean this in a superficial way, nor do I mean it in my usual hatred of people way. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like people, and I never will, but this... this is something different.
If this is seriously our prime, if this is what is becoming of us, I don't want to be a part of it. I don't want to continue to watch and listen to all of us smearing each other off the face of the planet and calling it 'justice'.
No, I'm not talking about Iraq (though that's really the only fucking thing Americans seem to know/give a flying fuck about), I'm talking about all of it.
Though, to be honest, what really drove it it home, is the current nightmare going on on the Gaza Strip. Three days in, 57 civilians dead, a total of 312 Palistines dead, 2 Israelis and ... it's all 'justified'. Really?
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for the death penalty. When one takes another's life on purpose, there should be a punishment for that.
War....war is just fucked up either way.
Let me back up for a second. I'm sitting in my car, listening to NPR and .... NPR is the station, for those that don't know, that gives world news. But not the 'safe, behind a desk' world news. No. It's 11 o'clock at night and I'm listening to people SCREAMING. Weeping, and mourning because they've lost, literally fucking LOST loved ones and don't know where they are. Crying out with so much fucking pain because their child is dead.
I've seen the photos of men with guns driving by the bodies of children, without a care. Men and women holding the broken, bleeding bodies of their babies, unable to let go. A woman's body washed up on the shore of the river that borders North Korea and China. All she wanted was a better life. Instead, he body was there for three weeks, a tourist photo op until it finally washed away. I've watched it happen. It's happening in the Middle East, it's happening in Europe, it's happening right fucking HERE IN THE US, it's happening All. Over. The god damned planet! And does anyone give a flying fuck? No. Least of all America.
We were so proud when Obama was elected. We all shouted that "change was coming"!
But, families are still screaming to a seemingly uncaring deity for their hearts. Men and women are still wandering the streets, empty and without hope, food, or love.
And we're so fucking full of ourselves that all we care about is what celebrity is making money now, or which one's having a baby.
Fuck you all.
No, I mean it.
Fuck you.
I hope that the dead and dying are at peace, and finally feeling loved and happy however or wherever they end up. Yes, even the assholes that started this mess.
If I could, if I had the power to do so right now, tonight, I would end this waste of a race once and for all.
But I don't have that power. And killing myself solves nothing. So, until I can find peace, until I see that this stupidity has stopped, or until I die, whichever comes first, I will mourn alongside people I don't know and will likely never meet. I feel pain for and with you all.
I love you, nameless men and women who have died trying to get a better life for you and your families.
I love all of you that are frightened and feel alone.
I love all of you that are mourning a loved one.
I love each and every child that has died because of this stupid, stupid 'just' cause.
None of you are alone,
none of you are unloved.
I may not know any of you, but none of you will be forgotten.
