The inevitable war

"It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact." - George Orwell

katrina

it was a normal day in late August, when a hurricane named Katrina came up from the Gulf and caught us.
we all scrambled about, trying to leave town. our family and friends were scattered all around.
she came in with a fury, nothing was safe. she threw our belongings all over the place.
she caused a lot of destruction of lives and homes, some of us had to vacate to certain domes.
when it was safe, we came back to town, the first thing i noticed was the quiet sound.
no motors running, no birds chirping,
it was apparent that something was missing.
we had to travel through lots of debris, Katrina's wrath was plain to see.
now we live from day to day,
trying to cope, learning to pray.
we sift through wreckage that was once our lives, thankful for the opportunity to do so.
we have life. we have hope. we have another day.
