Cicada War

I think war happens because the general populous is kind of stupid. And the people who like war want to keep it that way. Why is peace the last thing on certain politicians’ minds? Is there such a lack of empathy and awareness in the government that they can only form tunnel vision on destroying others and making profit? 

We can vote them out! 

or y'know. kill them.

I am also kind of stupid. Ignorant is a better word, maybe. I am not a politician. I did not study the ways of those in power, I just live in the world they’ve created. I have always been sensitive, and when I see people obeying companies that do not care if they live or die just to put food on the table, I can’t fathom it. I have always felt a deeper connection to the planet, it’s the only one we have to live on and it is beautiful! Why are there people who are hellbent on destroying it? We have finite resources! We the People don’t have to follow orders if they are wrong. Educating people on wrong vs right seems to be a hot topic…what happened to basic empathy? Raising children to be nurturing and not little terrors? 

It’s true some people are just built different. The people who think war is bad, generally, want to make the world a better place. I feel very lucky that my upbringing did not turn me into a psychopath (still tbd). The human spirit is indominable. I wish I could see a day where regardless of our differences, we all eat, shit, fuck, and die together and accept those facts. If humans could just be a bit more like cicadas.
