Where is Her Grave?
Do you remember why we're fighting?
Why we tear our selves apart in a civil war where the blood spilled can't be seen,
and the wounds will never heal?
Do you remember why we've isolated ourselves from the entire world just to get out point across?
I sure as fuck don't.
What I do remember is why we shouldn't be fighting,
why we should be moving forward into the future as one unified people,
everyone together,
why we should take our mistakes and the mistakes of others and learn from them,
rather than profit from them,
and why we should never forget.

September 11th brought about an almost sickeningly commercial response of patriotism and star-powered, four hour long ego-thons. Do you think that those same stars, who protest the war today, remember why we are fighting, and why we shouldn't be fighting? Both sides have completely lost sight of the very reason that we're fighting internally in the first place, and are instead bickering and killing without any hope of resolve.

We weren't fighting, at least originally, about oil and fighting the government because saying fuck off to authority is the trendy thing to do. Nay, we were fighting because when we saw those massive casualties and felt a part of ourselves go dead, we never wanted to see that happen to anyone ever again. Ever. But now that both sides both have lost sight of their original point of argument, this whole thing becomes pointless. But what isnt pointless is why the debate started in the first place, because without that we're accomplishing nothing, and blood spilled simply for the sake of it is in some ways worse than blood spilled for an ill reason, and that's why we should never forget.

Thanks for your time.
