WHAT ABOUT REASONING – WAR

Humans can’t win any war, ever!

My friend,

My neighbour,

My enemy,

My sister,

All live around me

Like people,

Like me,

Like one and all,

With hair,

With eyes,

With fear

And the occasional tear

I love,

She loves,

They love,

We love

And occasionally we fight deadlier,

Proudly first,

Tired and frightened in the end,

But too late for the dead,

Of course,

And to right the wrongs

While the lessons of war

Became an extended loop;

As if reason could be resuscitated,

After being shot through the heart,

By pouncing it repeatedly,

Unfortunately it never happened

And my enemy is no more,

And my friend is no more,

And my sister is no more,

And my neighbour is no more,

And I will be, too, no more

If I can’t declare war illegal

Oftenlly we should dare... peacefully!

INFLUENTiAL: a tale of modern meanness!

Once upon a web, there were people preaching values without any value. They are fronting the backwards movement, teaching their followers how to channel likes-money into their pockets in exchange of mental mayhem first, and mental paralyzes afterwards.

Very articulate in nothingness and willing to forgo most basic decency, they fill their dreamers, another adjective for the blind crowd of followers, with enough prejudice and malice that the devil, quite certainly, will be out of a job, and his future looks bleak; he may, even, be considered a saint, pretty soon, if we manage to have a good look at this devious matter.

'It's the education, stupid!'

FRAME THE ICONIC AND PUT IT IN A MUSEUM

Now that everybody’s surrender to the not so obvious iconic picture of the man conquering nothing -I believe many compare it with the Iwo Jima display of the American flag by brave soldiers- but a few more years of the same life, I would love to see the frail one to get it and say out loud: ‘Kamala, it’s time for a woman to take over where men failed over and over again. I quit and may you bring wisdom to this nation and, therefore, to the world too. Thank you and goodbye!’ That's what I would call a brave wise move!

I do not condone violence, but for a man who wants to be president of a country to say ‘fight!’ and show up a fist, the very first words after an attempted assassination… he isn’t talking about the Russians but its own folk -at least half of the country, the ones who don’t vote for him. Humility does not come easy. That is very sad.
