[bodytext] => Let's all rejoice in the death of a prophet of doom for the empire strikes back, according to the box in my room a box that provides entertainment, opinions and scores and glorious analysis from one side, on the progress of war. A man set aside to take on the burden of hate bought by the west in a war against a communist state but he kept on fighting and didn't take note of the rules It's callous, I know, he punched while we sat on our stools. down came two buildings that symbolised world domination thousands died in them, but in some states there was elation Iraq was thrown in, what a joke, but we needed a war now letters arrive with grave news from dark foreign shores. Afghanistan, a tin can alley of bullets and death where idle conquest tore apart the empires of both east and the west but we marched in knowing technology would keep us safe improvised explosive devices have killed many to date young soldiers with dreams of their status as heroes in war blown away driving on a road, booby traps on the floor but ding dong the witch is dead that's what will release the pain buried at sea to make sure a shrine is not built in his name well shrines will be built in the folklore and minds of the defeated it's tasteless I know, but I fear that the circle will be completed now nervously, people will fear to visit other nations reprisals will come, let's sit on our thumbs with frustration. Our problem is not the enemy of our ethos and toil our true enemy will rise through shortage, hatred will boil meanwhile, the box in my room will continue to spout keeping us all quiet until it's too late to raise a doubt.
