War

The wrathful deity is a projection of the soul.

The Republic is the soul writ large, says Plato.

“Death and destruction from the sky all day long,” says the Secretary of War.

The Party is concerned that the war could harm its chances in the midterm elections. The Other Party hopes the war’s unpopularity could work for them in the elections.

The President plans to attend the dignified transfer of the dead bodies.

The President does not make decisions in a vacuum, says his spokeswoman.

You only want to talk about the dead to make the President look bad.

We consult the scribes and priests and look at the New York Times and FOX and the Revelation of St John

Recall the stories you have heard all your life about Armageddon 

Stories about the sky falling down. Stories about the Great Pumpkin, or The Revolution, or The Last Days.

This is one of those critical times when certain archetypes return.

Such as Nero, memorably portrayed as 666 by John the Revelator, returning as Napoleon to Pierre in War and Peace. When Pierre thinks he has decoded a prophecy he feels called to assassinate Napoleon. He fell for the fallacy of taking apocalyptic literature literally.

Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple and warned his followers to be prepared to become refugees.

I don’t remember the stories telling us exactly what to do when the sky is falling down. 

Watch out for falling debris.

Watch out for falling empire.

Know where the exits are when your castle is burning.

Don’t panic 

Pay attention 

Update your Go bag 

Help your neighbor 

Love your enemies 

Breathe 

See? I got nothing 

I’m an empty handed painter drawing crazy patterns on your sheets 

I steal words from old songs because I don’t know what to say 

A hard rain is gonna fall all day every day for five or six or seven weeks or years or whatever it takes to achieve the objectives we haven’t yet identified 

Gimme Shelter

War is just a drone strike away

Instant karma is gonna get us

People Get Ready

I’m planning to participate in the March 28 No Kings Day events whatever they are. 

Release all the Trump/Epstein files before he bombs another elementary school 

Thoughts and Prayers and Actions and Revolution 

We need to become a crisis intervention movement

Decapitate the regime, I think and pray. 

If my thoughtdreams could be seen.

Better free your mind as well.
