Memorial Day is about remembering our failure. Failure to find a way to keep peace. remembering all the losses on both sides. People who followed government doctrine. They didn't begin life hating one another. Or being followers.
Last evening's Capitol Memorial Celebration left me cold. While the PTSD focus was worthy, and well overdue, it really choked me up. I couldn't stop crying and had to turn it off.
How horrible we put our beloved one's in harm's way. Being a soldier is no honor. It is the absence of peace. I will never celebrate that. Ever.
It left me cold that we celebrated our past wars and present ones. That this kind of event is to sell war to the unsuspecting so that they will enlist and become yet more drones. Human ones. That the average person does exactly what this government tells them to do. They do not think for themselves. We have been in one war after another. Our infrastructure is falling apart, corporate government gets richer, more people are without jobs.
My heart goes out to all the followers who didn't know any better. To all that were wounded who didn't know any better. We must love them enough and take care of them enough. Killing the living is horrible! It is one thing if we are truly attacked.
Our corporate government continues to lie to us. Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, The WTC Attacks, Persian Gulf Wars, Iraq, Afghanistan and now the Boston Bombing. I might also add the rest of the group murders going on in the United States. Think about it people. Are you really willing to continue this charade?
On Memorial Day, I will pray for all the people who got into this senseless wars. I will pray the people who send them there can receive some rehabilitation and therapy. I pray people wake up and see what they are contributing to. It is one thing if we are truly in harm's way. But war for oil? That is just plain....MURDER.
Are you ready to be at peace? It begins with oneself. One breath at a time.
