by way of photography, but I wanted to share it. One day when I was driving home, I noticed that the Eyes Wide Open exhibit was at a college a few blocks from my house. I immediately parked and visited for awhile. As I was leaving, I noticed a soldier just coming in and wanted to get a photo of him. I was only a few feet away and wanted to be inconspicuous so I was holding the camera down and trying to capture it. When I looked up, he was wiping away tears.
… posted my comment in the wrong essay!
Anyway, am reposting the comment here, where it belongs.

War
Huh! Good God, y’all!
What is it good for?
War is good
for making the rich richer
those mongers
who profit
from human suffering
and tragedy
It matters not
if they benefit from victory
by one side or the other
only that War
continue somewhere
forever
And War is good
for spreading
that suffering and tragedy
along with hatred
death and the disintegration
of human society
What more could anyone want?

Throughout the geographical & geological history of this “Blue Planet” violence has been a subjective reality. As a result of avarice backed by big guns, the strong, deluded by arrogance have plundered from the perceived weak. While fueling their weapons with oil, a geological byproduct, man has ignored the “Blue” in Blue Planet. While this liquid death is being depleted the next weapons are being assembled to make water the next control medium. We may be killing for oil now, but we`ll be dying without water. The violence the future promises, will be a direct result of the rape of mother earth by it`s supposedly highest order of life form. This image is about wasting water while subjugating one to take theirs. The sweating rapist. sad
