War spreads across the world. It is a simple thing, how it moves from place to place, leaving death behind. In Africa they fight. In Europe they wait to fight. The big men in their offices talk of strategy while people die. They do not care. They never have.
The corporations take what they want. The hungry stay hungry. The rich get richer. That is how it has always been. But now it is worse. Now the people are desperate. When people are desperate they pick up guns.
Russia watches and waits. They know about nuclear weapons. The West pretends not to see what it has done. Their newspapers write clean words about dirty wars. The bombs do not care who they kill.
It is all connected now. Each bullet fired makes the next one easier. The men who call themselves leaders speak of freedom while they count their money and their dead. They build walls of lies to hide behind.
We must choose. We can die in their war or we can fight for something true. There is no middle way anymore. That is finished.
