Oh love where is thy kiss

Oh love where is thy kiss

Dreams of happiness are what life should be made from.
There is no point going down the yellow brick road if the rainbow is a sodding mirage, when it is in fact a devouring black hole, which sometimes is also called a mass grave, exposing flesh, blood & bones to all the world.
It is a bottomless pit devised in the evil minds of many people under the name of retribution but in reality is simply ethnic cleansing, when guns, planes & other death dealing implements are brought out of cold storage & produce the stench of death on every continent & drawers in many unwilling nations
who can neither cover the costs of lives, extra food or homes for miserable & desperate transients.
Then we have within our societies individual purveyors of evil, where it is open season on all of us. Another case of a sniper, kidnapper, rapist, who seems to think we are ready, willing & able to be his or her playmate in some sordid passion.
We perhaps think we are somehow protected living in relatively free & democratic countries. Wrong. If we admit it to ourselves, not one of us is fireproof. Look back thru the newspapers of the past year & read the reports of the man made disasters there has been, be they big or small, suffering is close at hand. There but for the grace of God go I.
Every time I open a newspaper or a news web site, turn on the TV or radio, I am weighed down by a plethora of items & reports about abuse, violence & the killing of people & animals, all of which is carried out in unceasing waves of barbarism.
There is & always has been a malignant core of those people in every society who seem to glory in bringing suffering to others.
It was perpetrated within the minds of the Romans, right on up to the modern day Terrorists, along with the trashed minds of some members of joe public.
Another person's life is deemed worthless & can be wasted at the drop of a hat. Their death at least has news value & perhaps in some sordid minds, entertainment value as well.
I am sick & tired of reading about hatred & evil, seeing video footage of the aftermath of such acts. It makes me sick to the stomach & mangles my intelligence.
Unfortunately I can't stop the violence & cruelty happening. In some countries, if I dared to say torture is wrong, I would probably be shot.
Tony Blair & George Bush would have us believe they are protecting us from a fate worse than death & that they have made the world a safer place for us and many other people.
Bollox. It's all about money, oil & power & screw the fallout.
People, military & civilian & their welfare, are the smoke & mirrors & are thus expendable. The invisible shield of self-glorification, behind which these cowards & liars that rule & dictate our lives will constantly hide until it's election time.


I want a veritable oasis of rainbows for every person & animal on this planet, not a black hole of fear & trepidation. Idealistic ? Of course, but I can dream
