Everything is a war

War against drugs
.
War against poverty
.
War against want
.
War against everything
.
And criminally the biggest war although not seen as such is against ourselves.
.
A war taking place in our own bodies.
.
In our own minds.
.
A war we have been losing for some time now.
.
Seldom can humanity have been fighting so many so called wars at one time.
.
Predictably the word war applied to all these different subjects has lost its meaning.
.
Lost our interest too.
.
When it is clear that the so called war on drugs to name but one is a great big scam.
.
No wonder most people feel ever more disinterest and scorn for the politicians who literally refuse to even discuss more intelligent options.
.
Hard to respect these same men and women who deplore bad behaviour by the poor in society.
.
Those living in poverty.
.
Those with few if any real choices.

The war must now be to fight this hypocricy that is our real war.
.
A war to engage our leaders with reality.
.
To bestir ourselves before these men and women lead us into total disaster.
.
And this can only happen when we engage our minds to take action for those things we believe in.
.
War on empty words and silly actions.
.
Enough of their silly wars.
.
What do you want?
.
A nice fair society?
.
Chances for all?
.
Mmmmm!
.
How about making your own war.
.
First on your own mind.
.
A mind grown used to switching off at the word war.
.
Used to letting others think for you.
.
No longer
.
Try engaging your own mind to see reality and not the press delivered pap.
.
Time to engage yourself in actions.
.
Actions to support those things important to you.
.
No more wars.
.
Just engagement to resolve our problems.
