The Isolation War

For the past nearly six weeks, we have watched online as the mainstream and alternative news inform us of an ongoing mass genocide that began on October 7th and has continued unabated for forty-three days. Around 15,000 people have died and over one third of those deaths are children.

Continuous pockets of protest rage across the globe, but the DJIA has been moving too: upwards. Blackrock, Raytheon, Northrup Grummond, Alphabet, NVIDIA and the DOD have been doing a bludgeoning, burgeoning business.

Humans feel sad, enraged, despondent, vengeful, satisfied, avaricious, depressed and the worst of all, powerless. When humans feel isolated from love, strength, hope and the choice of empowerment, they fall into the abyss of misery.

Many people feel isolated from efficacy. Despite their millions of voices and billions of prayers to stop the killing, the fascists will not because drones and missiles utilize gas, oil and oil-powered electricity almost as a metaphor for what these armies of opportunity are fighting to control.

The casualties are the beating hearts feeling their prayers not heard, their voices and words unimportant and that they are isolated before their computer screen. Lonely and alone even while swimming in the solemnity of a mirror into nothingness.
