OUR WAR

War, war and war. Here we go again. War is being talked about every day, over coffee and breakfast muffins, at lunch time and even during candlelight dinners. I’m sick of it! I’m sick of such a stain on humanity. On the face of global warming, climate change and so many other problems, people can still actually declare war, go to war and talk about war!

As the war with Hamas continues for the 10th day and the ground invasion into the 3rd day (and those radical Muslim groups, as usual, are begging the government to send them on jihad missions), friends and family around me discuss it constantly. There’s even an unknown person who keeps sending me messages on this blog to read HIS (or her?) blog, which contains the latest news about the war. Dude, with all due respect, why would I want to read YOUR blog to get war news? Why YOUR blog in particular? The internet is so full of it already! Wanna talk about it?

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT! MY WAY!

This is what I wanna talk about. I wanna talk about the people who declare wars. I’d like to know these people. People who still think that war is necessary to solve a problem, that dominance is still sought after, that freakin’ fossil fuel is still the most important thing in the world. Poor ignorant people. You know what, people? If your face does not rot like those soldiers’ that you’ve sent to wars, then your wives’ and children’s will. Trust me. If your body does not decompose soon from all the wrongs that you’ve done, then your soul will grow dark and hard like ebony. Trust me.

I wanna talk about the people who go to wars. Can’t you say no? Are you that stupid? So it’s an order, so what??? Don’t you have your own will? Don’t you have your own brain? Don’t you have a heart? Say no and walk out! Stay out of wars! Can’t you do that? Even if you survive, you’ll come back as ghosts. And ghosts seldom come back bearing their tales. So if you go, then don’t bother coming home to die. Don’t ever tell us that it was a “good” war, because you’ve just won the war. What the fuck is a GOOD war??? As if there was no death, for goodness’ sake. You have to win it with the “help” of the losers whom you have to leave cold and dead out there! There’s no such thing as a good war, even if you win. Trust me.

I wanna talk about the people who talk about wars. Ok, so we have to know these things. We have to know what is happening around the world, around us. We have to know there’s a war. So far away from here, but we have to know. Fine. So we read the papers, we watch news programs and we read regular updates about it on the internet. But do we have to talk about it too? Not only that, do we have to talk about it ALL THE TIME? I’m sure each of us has our own opinion about it. But your opinion doesn’t help anyone. I’m not saying joining a jihad would help, but unless your opinion could make the war and the killing stop, then don’t take pleasure in talking about it. If you’re THAT unhappy about the war and THAT angry about it, then yes… by all means… join a jihad, go there and try to stop it. You will be one of those people with no graves, but only epitaphs. Trust me.

Otherwise, let’s talk about the zillions of problems facing our own country. Let’s fight the poor education standards. Let’s fight the lousy healthcare systems. Let’s fight corruption. Let’s fight the greedy and utterly brainless oil palm people who keep destroying our forests. Let’s fight the dim-witted assholes who keep bombing and poisoning our reefs. Let’s fight our own stupidity, ignorance and greed. Let’s fight colonialism, because if you think we have claimed our independence back in 1945, you are so wrong. We’re still being colonialized… by our own people! Let’s fight all these things. THIS IS OUR WAR.
