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!

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.

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.
