The Landscape of War

Wars don't just change maps they change men, Taking lives of the living and the dead. Hollowed out shadows of the people we once knew or hardened, icy inside struggling to break through. Just collateral damage written off and forgotten, Fat Cats buying peace of mind for their rotten souls. Everyone knows but nobody says a thing, that elephant in the room isn't seen as they turn blind eyes and the cries fall on deaf ears. The sheeple go where the politicians say, believe the scare tactics and drink the kool-aid. Fabrications and stories about American grace and glory when the graves and gory details are dismissed, our supposed objectives missed.  False intel justifies our presence, No WMDs, no accountability or backlash for negligence. We just go about our lives acting righteously indignant, afraid to unite against this egregious infringement. Other countries riot over tuition being raised, we watch youtube videos of guys getting tased while eating lays gaining weight as the days, go by I try to do my part I guess it's a start but not enough. If you want something done, put up or shut up, its you against the world and the masses won't listen to reason, you disagree and the government cries treason, if only you could see, get the facts and think for yourselves it's the only way this place can be helped. Until then I'll have to conquer my doubts and begin my quest from the inside out.
