Public Convenience

Public Convenience A war ‘nowhere near me’ is a concept that does not exist an oxymoron so to speak and weep and cry or believe propaganda for the convenience of denying responsibility Wars allegedly ‘afar’ is a notion too far removed from the distortion that you and I do not benefit from the slaughter as the wealth of some is built on the shoulders of many who suffer for global greed oil exploitation geopolitical domination for booming stock markets and neoliberal evil Call me touchy feely or a pacifist to discredit my knowledge but my paradigm is one of hard core sober fact that in my name and without my direct consent rape pillage and plunder deface the human condition and legalize collateral damage What a euphemism to ask me to close my eyes in view of pulverised people atomised ashes and call them not near Rapacious avarice or conscientious objection to misleading terms and diminutive are a choice very close to my heart 20th May 2017

YES! This is exactly what was going through my mind. Any war, anywhere affects us all, whether we like it or not.
