Labi Siffre - Into The Light

THE ANSWER

ANY aggressor nation must be confronted by the combined, overwhelming military might of ALL other nations, toe to toe, missile to missile, nuclear to nuclear, with deadly determination till the aggressor withdraws. Only then will we all be safe from war.

If heterosexual men stopped trying to prove they're not Gay the world would be a much more peaceful place!

Their Sacrifice

Their sacrifice
and ours
What was it for?
Why did your daughter and my son
have to die?
Now we've flown away
Why are the daughters we abandoned
Again caged?
Those men with guns
Why are they and their God
so afraid
of these women and girls
Alive
but erased?

A POSITIVE ACT WITH A POSITIVE MESSAGE

In shared global security self-interest, perhaps a coalition of India, USA, Pakistan, UK and others (some EU nations, perhaps even Russia would like to display itself in a positive light) with a UN mandate for Afghanistan to be designated a Global Protectorate aimed at saving 50%+ of Afghans (women and girls) from enslavement, would be a not so far fetched ethical action.

Focus

The narrower my view
The easier I can say
"This has nothing to do with ..." (whatever I choose)
Cos whatever I choose cannot be seen
From where I stand
If I narrow my view
So I narrow my view

I narrow my view cos
Parochialism pays dividends
(For me)
I declare things are simple, straightforward
With my narrow view, awkward complexity is banished,
Vanished, irrelevant, not true
So I narrow my view
But

Often wonderfully, too often tragically,
Anything human is complexity
Upon complexity, upon paradox on toast
Shadows have shadows
Ghosts have ghosts
So I narrow my view
Being careful not to tilt
So leave complexity to the few willing
To handle, at least a little, collective guilt

Another man of the people
I feel safer in and with the crowd
Fifty millennia proud and strong; I narrow my view,
Empirically it compounds the problems
But it makes me feel it’s easier to get on

Paris Attacks 13-11-15

The lie of killing for God
There is no evidence of God
No murderers no murdered go to heaven
Nor to hell
No martyrs, no heroes, only corpses.

More Remembrances To Come

When will the world grow weary
Of leadership from these strong
Weak men?

Not soon enough and certainly they
Pay no heed to the voices of the dead
Though piously they "Remember Them"

By adding more flesh to their ranks
For which these strong weak men
Will assume for themselves

The right to receive
Wealth by book deal and lecture tour
Boardroom elevations, our respect in honours

Whatever is your nations equivalent
Of dollars

Ariel Sharon : More Ethnic Cleansing by Stealth

Discomforting Truths Nº 349

War here is endless
And we have learned
Having people to hate
And killing them makes
Us feel superior
In control
We have the power
To Rape
Mutilate
Dictate
War
Has been
And is
Good
For us
Why would we stop
We will not
Stop

___

Wanker

Anders Behring Breivik sane; fatally
Stupid no revolutionary
Lacking in vision a dull recycler
Of a many failed past

Praised of course
By other losers; the easy way out
Has always brought honors
From slurried followers

In the pot of human progress remember
The invention of bread is of more import
Than the invention of gunpowder will ever be

And the children of Utoya will forever have
More substance than the wanker who killed them

A Self Full Killing Joke

Brothers in Islam, Khomeini et Saddam
Led you laughing to the promised land
(Two revered conductors
Of “The-Blinded-Amputee-Baby Band”)

A top forty hit your war with Iraq
A glorious victory on both sides
All who died were glorified martyrs
(Religious interpretation being conveniently wide)

And is it true when they say Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Has a diamond eye and a sapphire ring
And passes perfumed wind?

Get real, the holocaust happened   
Your denial paints you cowards and fools;
Six million, babies women men all Jews
Murdered by race hate that shackles
Your people their people my people all people
To the same stupid tit for tat rules

Move Israel to Austria or Germany?
(Or Poland?) let them do the time ‘cause
They did the crime? a rewrite of Nero and Rome
Ahmadinejad does standup - while on The West Bank
They have rubble for their home

Do you really want your kids and theirs
And theirs to be forever taking turns
In the history café as kebabs
From Clifford’s Tower in 1190's York
To 1943 at Sobibor - nine hundred years
No wonder Israel vowed, “no more!”

But that’s no excuse for Israeli crimes in Palestine
The theft of land, the theft of lives; the theft of truth
Though is hard to criticize when Ahmadinejad blatantly
Lies
‘Stead of calling again and again for Arab oil to be used
As the weapon
Again and again for resolution 242 reminding the world
That a thief is required to return all not just part
Of his or her ill gotten haul; and the children cry
“Save us all” - “Save us all” - “Save us all”
