War

Excerpt from User Friendly-Fire: “I wonder about the illusion of this place, often acting to save face. I feel truly blessed to have a life of ease compared to those living with fear and disease. But when our fellow patriots hate as if their motivations are grandfathered in, the red, white and blue fades and becomes a banner for sin…Imperial control to Mars and back will not replace the obvious lack of understanding for a world diverse and unjust but ever precious as a pearl.”
