There is no God in violence.
There is no righteousness in the killing of innocents.
There is no peace to be found in continued conflict.
There is no freedom in the incarceration of ones enemies.
There is no enlightenment in the brutality of torture.
There is no salvation in the spilling of blood.
Shout to your deities!
Speak of your duty and your holy cause!
Rant about the infidels, the unclean, and the heretics,
They are you!
Know that your fate, even in your apathetic complicity,
Is cloaked in darkness!
I think there is a growing number of people who are starting to think this way and, eventually, the whole world will "Imagine" like John Lennon did, along with you and I.
Powerfully stated, Michael. This has always been a battle between our individual and collective light and dark natures. We seem unable to live balanced between the two polarities for very long. Blood makes the slopes of both so much more slippery. Afraid of the dark we imagine we'll be safe in eternal 'light' - being ignorant of the inquisitor's talents for sensory deprivation there, too. Thus the jailer is bound to his prisoner.
