I close my eyes to the destruction around me.
Only to find my sanctuary, the temple of my mind is also lay in ruin.
I open my eyes green with envy, and look to the people around me.
Do they not see the destruction all around?
Calling out to them
I plead for their help.
But they can’t.
They can’t understand.
The help I need is not a product of this world.

Unbustable ads
ad-busting:
H&M’s new beachwear campaign featuring Jennie Runk is pretty awesome. In this article she explains that women have sent her messages saying that this ad campaign has given them the confidence to try on a bikini for the first time in years!

But what are a hundred million deaths? When one has served in a war, one hardly knows what a dead man is, after a while. And since a dead man has no substance unless one has actually seen him dead, a hundred million corpses broadcast through history are more than a puff of smoke in the imagination.
Stars open among the lilies. Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens? This is the silence of astounded souls.
