All i am saying...
Give peace a chance.But alas,the fight for peace has never been easy.Nor has it been completely fulfilled.Peace,War.Life.A natural part of it?Will any man,born throughout any of the centuries,face the dilemma of warfare?Of moral,social or national warfare?Now...Oh yes,now.It is being fought just under the surface,by what bigwigs we know of.Corruption versus Justice.But are they not just points of view?A corrupt man might never see himself that way.He fights for what he thinks is justice.And dies that way.A perception.Just like what a sasquatch might be doing in a pudding factory.
Martin Luther King Jr said,"I have a dream." John and yoko sang,"Give peace a chance." And Malcom X exclaimed,"I believe in the brotherood of men.All men."
And what happened to these dictators of peace?Perhaps it isn't so unexpected.They were all shot.Assasinated.They fought for similar beliefs,through different mediums and stratedgies. Dr Luther shook it up in the political scene.Common people perhaps only knew him as a just man.He was perhaps similar to those he was fighting against.A shadowy figure at the top.But he decended.To the people.He was "at the mountaintop".The very next day,he was assinated.
Mr Lennon fought in a loophole in the entertaiment industry.He connected with the people.He was shot.4 bullets in his back.One severing his aorta.
Malcom X....was different.The rest of his quote is as follows."but I don’t believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn’t want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I’m not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn’t know how to return the treatment."
He fought with power itself.He used anger.His perception was not absolute.He held no "anti violence" acts.He used violence.He garnered fear.Respect.Awe.But in the end,At 39 years of age,15.Yes,15 gunmen rushed him on stage.
Of all who fought for peace,most were throttled in the womb of their "dream".
No one listens any longer.A threat to the sovereignty must be destroyed.It has always been.And thus,Rebellion.
Hah! Rebellion.Take for example,the three kingoms era.Dong Zhuo,the ultimate baddie,Using his courtside position to lie his head in the lap of lady luxury.The Yuan Shao's call to arms.
Cao Cao wanted to end the choas.
Liu Bei wanted to restore the glorious Han.
Sun Quan...I dunno.Fought for his family name of Wu.And perhaps for land.
In the end,they fought each other for what they thought was proper ruling.It all comes down to one glorious word.Politcs.Many small bloodsucking insects.
Perhaps we would never truly understand why wars are fought."They" say it is neccessary.We,the people oblige.Political ideals,land,money.Diplomatic ties with millitary deterrence is only perhaps prolonging whatever war.Peace can never truly be attained.People like their guns too much.A lack of understanding.It disgusts me that this,is the glorious ruler of earth.Humph.
"It takes one man to gamble the card of peace.Then he gets shot."-Me
