Remembrance Sunday - the perennial virtue signalling charade the war mongers love to play!A Poem by COLLYMORESelf-explanatory.
By Stanley Collymore
Remembering those that quite genuinely fought for what they simply earnestly and honestly thoroughly believed in and subsequently paid for, with the distinct loss of their individual, and undeniably collective lives, the obviously ultimate penalty for doing so is one thing, and undoubtedly, a simply commendable praiseworthily endorsement of them essentially on your part! Sanctifying, however, in addition to quite literally rather unquestionably grotesquely, macabrely, effectively hypocritically and asininely in the most odious of virtue signalling stunts; lauding the surfeit of discernibly brain-washed sheep and basically, the irrefutably quite purposely organized, cannon fodder that went on and still, quite regrettably, actually do to this very day, is really essentially an entirely different ethical matter altogether. Most of those who obligingly sacrificed their lives, both in so-called World Wars 1 and 2, which were themselves clearly nothing less than asininely internecine squabbles, amongst the transparently unquestionably evidently parasitically obscenely rich, basically disgustingly privileged, and irrefutably discernibly too, odiously self-entitled - generally the actually identical, class of scum that pathetically, and most cynically caused both these conflicts but too made undoubtedly and impeccably certain, that what quite scandalous dying, which clearly inevitably was occasioned didn't impact on either themselves, their family members, their nepotistic hangers-on or their acquired grotesquely phenomenal wealth so earnestly looked after - didn't then, nor do their essentially likeminded offspring now, think any differently effectively in terms of their discernibly very crucially marked lack of respect for, or actually any realistic or genuine empathy with today's offspring of those still duped but still quite thoroughly dependable, and dispensable cannon fodder, that now as in the past their very kind of unquestionably, actually definitively quite ultra-superciliously privileged, and self-entitled characters, clearly gratuitously, and uninhibitedly also assign to their ritualized slaughter! (C) Stanley V. Collymore 11 November 2023. Author's Remarks: "Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." Thomas Gray’s "Ode on a distant prospect of Eton College” 1742. Essentially, the more knowledge one has and effectively acquire, the greater is the inevitability that the prospect of one's grief and likelihood of disappointment do really become starker; because such knowledge in the hands of the evidently intellectually challenged, dim-witted and readily gullible does invariably engender a state of affairs of the conscious awareness by them of having been, and still are, consistently, wantonly and unscrupulously being used, and all this also coupled with the forlorn realization that all they are, or have really effectively thought they were, conjoined with what they did, and still do, in this life will essentially and inevitably turn to dust. And In essence they were unquestionably much better off not knowing about any of this stuff; and distinctively why they’re so easily, and quite systematically, used. © 2023 COLLYMOREAuthor's Note
