old truth, simple, in new shoes

war

violence
maybe a reason why our culture is so obsessed with violence
and in turn the violent
with religion
is
very simply the fact
that it makes us feel so alive
in an environment that abhorrs death
no caskets nowhere
no mourning nights for the deceased
death banned behind clinically white hygenic doors
and into dirty gritty night filled streets.

the violent video games
for example
maybe for lack of a better sport
in a country that has been to war
too much
abroad
