You’re not Angry with Me

We’re all so angry in North America; we yell at one another, we curse each other out, we attack one another’s character, amid all this yelling and screaming one truth gets buried: you’re not angry with me.

You’re angry with your government and your culture; so am I. We are all angry at the system and the people in power and instead of yelling at the source of our upset, we attack our neighbour.

Governments stoke this irrational behaviour by pitting us against each other by separating us into those who ‘hate us for our freedoms’ in the west and those who support democracy and freedom, the ‘patriots’; so, if you oppose the current wisdom of killing and torture and more killing, well that’s because you hate us for our freedoms.

It’s an effective tool to deeply divide the masses and let them cannibalize friend and foe; while we devour each other, the people we’re truly angry with are doing whatever they want. Governments, religious fanatics and special interest groups are malignantly planning and executing wars for profit, Raptures and Apartheid.

Divide and conquer.

We are a continent divided and conquered and we’re heading towards a final dénouement; how it will end is a mystery but, a wave of such rage and lies can only build to a crescendo and then implode.

I am not angry with you.

You are not angry with me.

We are angry at our leaders and our culture for being lead down a path of vapid, empty, meaningless consumerism and soulless language of hate, war and death.
