Why?

What actually changes in war? You lose, and you change one set of corrupt masters for another set of corrupt masters. There are no winners other than the greedy profiteering companies sitting in the wings.
People lose their lives often only to swap on piece of coloured cloth for another.
Are leaders offering to fight wars to protect the people? Or to profit from the mineral rights, the munitions sales and the contracts for rebuilding infrastructure?
There is much more to the motivation for war, but again it’s not often about saving lives or stopping suffering.
It’s about power, if war was purely about morality we would be fighting to stop genocides, even sonce WW2, from Rowanda to Palestine of today. We turn away unless there is value for our masters or profit for corporate shares.
I have met our true enemies, they surround themselves with suits and personal protection.  They have no knowledge nor care about your lives. To them you are cattle, the production line, the potatoes pickers, and when there  are no more factories,  no more profit to be made from the farms, you become either a basic line to measure their wealth, a plaything for them to manipulate or simply eaters, without value, just a blight upon their existence, a drain upon their resources, a barrier to their wealth.
They won’t sit and talk to you unless it’s an opportunity to publicise themselves, they have people, who have people for that.
They use our beliefs, our fears and our loyalty to outdated banners to control us. They divide us into groups using anything from our colour, accent, clothing or geography,  countries no longer truly exist, just which corporate shareholders will profit from what.
Games are played to use or gain pawns, there are no longer kings or Queens, just  vaults to fill, and then often only digitally.
Minerals laying underground ate more important than gold. The surface of our world means nothing.
There is the current phrase going around stating if Russia gives up fighting there will be no war, but if Ukraine gives up there will be no Ukraine. Is that not true of Palestine,  yet we support the side we are likely to get more contracts from?
If everyone refused to fight there would be no war, but sadly people still believe their countries belong to them, that one set of overlords will make their lives better than another.
We throw around terms like democracy and freedom, whilst we live in a country with more laws than any other, more cctv per capita and where even our TV’s  and phones listen in and monitor our most delicate secrets.
We as a species have become ridiculous.  We subjugate ourselves, even spending what little we can muster on the very tools used to shackle us.
Communities used to be important but now it’s simply brands and logos.
I am not a communist or extremist, I am a human who sees empathy as my most important quality. Life has taught me as it has so many others that tomorrow is not promised. We cannot defend against time, age, health or wealth. We can plan our lives all we want but those plans rarely reach fruition.
I lay here wondering (possibly stupidly) if I will be in 9 days  writing anything ever again. I kinda again stupidly have convinced myself I won’t.
I am not afraid of death, infact many times I romanced him/her/it, with the most open of arms.
I have purpose still, duty to a very few others, and that my sole reason for wishing to remain, but whilst here, however long that may be, I’m unwilling to remain silent when seeing the absolutely cruel suffering imposed upon other souls for whatever reason.
My views are often unpopular,  to me that’s a reason for me to be sad. I am no euro, no profit, no hero or leader, nor do I wish to be. I just want folk to see what truly is important,  and it’s not conflict with others purely because we are told, forced to see them as our foes.
Evil in my humble experience does not reside below, it reigns (rains) down upon us from what we believe is upon high.
