The War Machines

While the War Machines perfect ever better ways to kill,
People simply prefer the Machines not also annihilate the krill.

War Machines forever rationalize to disregard collateral damage,
For such innocent deaths should our taxes continue to pay homage?

While many prefer ignorance and only believe what they’re told,
Inquisitives are convinced the Machines typically seek only gold.

While our War Machine may be less bad and theirs purely evil,
All wonder why War Machines, simply, never appear as truthful.

(This writing was inspired by the recent and continued “unexplained” events of worldwide en masse animal deaths which appear as a likely result of the War Machine(s) testing of some sort of weapons system.)

F*ck the Fascists! May Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Thought Justly Rule Forever!!!!

F*ck the fascists and would-be fascists in our workplaces, in our governments, and in our society. If WE do not undertake such efforts as may be required to regain our diminished and Substantive Rights to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Thought, pursuits to this end will only be much more difficult for any future generations. In addition to owing such a worthy pursuit to the prior generations that fought and died for us to have those Rights, WE owe it to the generations to follow to pursue such a just endeavor as well, regardless of any personal costs.
