Carry On Killing!

The futility of war.

By Stanley Collymore

 

We need a war:

as we have no answers of any kind for the

repeated failures and full-scale collapse

of the economy, which we’ve

persistently botched up with such

stunning regularity through our

exceptional mediocrity; so

a war would do nicely,

wouldn’t you say,

in helping to

focus our

minds?

 

We need a war:

to consolidate and further stimulate the

expanding arms industry; our solitary

outstanding success, rivalled only

by our extraordinary zest in

unmasking our incredible

arrogance and amazing

stupidity in not having

learnt anything at

all from our

very recent

past.

 

We most definitely need a war:

to help eradicate large sections

of our communities - the

flotsam and jetsam of humanity who

constitute the sick, aged, disabled,

unproductive, unwanted, and the

long-term unemployed; people

that we really can’t abide

and from whom it would be

most uncivil and deceitful

to conceal our absolute

contempt and justified

hostility, for they’re

evidently such a

huge financial

millstone on

the rest of

society.

 

We need a war:

as fighting with others, and even among

ourselves, is what we’re gifted at

doing; and it’s such great fun

killing then making martyrs

of the dead and icons of

the injured living �"

those who were

fortunate to have

survived the

slaying.

 

So let’s have another wonderful war

that we can joyfully celebrate in

songs, propaganda films, and

hypocritically but oh so

majestically in our

characteristic and militaristically

ceremonial parades lay costly

wreaths at cenotaphs for,

just like we do each

year for the

last one.

 

For let’s not forget that we have the

technology and the pedigree as

well as the power lust to

engineer and sustain a

nuclear holocaust �" and won’t

it just be fun, especially if it’s

done in someone else’s

backyard, and as far

as possible away

from our

own?

Author’s Notes:

The banks, other financial institutions, multinational corporations and the military industrial complex, all of whom are a law unto themselves and therefore absolutely unaccountable to no one else but themselves, together with the gannet of political stooges that they totally control and who in the interests of their aforementioned paymasters avidly feed off the public they’re supposed to serve but don’t, are the only ones that benefit from wars.

 

Yet the voting public, those that bother to vote at all that is, never seem to learn from the lessons of the past, or the lies they’re constantly being told and quite incredibly and stupidly keep on voting into office the very same craven and venal morons that intentionally deceive them, blight their lives and furthermore place the rest of the world in constant danger.
