August Events

The 6th and 9th have come and gone though none have taken note that faraway, on those two days, an instant blazing blast had vaporized morality. A bygone anecdote? It seems such tales are best forgot and buried in the past. But nonetheless, one must confess, the odds are highest now that might and means have globalized the final battle field, such that the victors also lose and perish anyhow. The rulers in their zeal decide these facts be best concealed. The warriors bit by bit rearm, their foes to nullify, with strategies for victories where winners will prevail, rejecting thoughts of compromise (though nukes are standing by!). Yet still its grimly obvious that all will finally fail. Beware you wide-eyed simpletons that follow, with the herd, the drumbeat of the profiteers that draws us down this path with prophesies of glory days and other things absurd. Instead the skies above will burn, the only aftermath.
