The shadows of drones loom large over distant lands, from those shadows my voice rises from the echoes of a past life. As a former evangelical Christian and a veteran of the "War on Terror," my perspective on these issues cuts through the haze with a sharp, personal acuity. The scars of war and faith color my view, painting a stark picture of the dissonance between the morals preached and the horrors we see executed.

Are we really so numb, so utterly disconnected, that the signing of bombs—an autograph destined to tear through the flesh of the innocent—seems just another day at the office for our leaders? This insanity, wrapped in the flag and carried out under the guise of freedom, pushes the boundaries of surreal horror.

In the tumult of political chess games, the small Palestinian enclave of Raffa bears the brunt of our moral failings. Bombs blessed by bureaucratic hands rain down, not just shattering bodies but the very essence of what it means to be humane. The very essence of what it means to be American! Meanwhile, the promised humanitarian aid languishes, choked by the same breath that vows to protect and serve.

Why the hell are we building these monuments to virtue signaling, rather than forcing open the gates that would allow aid to flow into Gaza? You'd think the West Bank, untouched by Hamas, would be safe. But no, the illegal settlers do not discriminate, and the bloodshed is indiscriminate—a stark reminder that in war, innocence is the first casualty.

This has got to stop. Not just for the sake of peace, but for the restoration of our own souls. We've wandered far from the spiritual moorings that once guided us; it’s time to reclaim a piece of that sanctity, not through prayers, but through action. We must tear down the facades, challenge the pageantry of politicking, and demand a cease to the carnage.

It’s about more than outrage; it’s about awakening—a spiritual revival that calls us to act, to intervene in the machinations of a system that profits from perpetual conflict. We need to grab our leaders by the collar of their conscience and shake them awake. If our calls for peace are to echo in the halls of power, we must be the ones to start the reverberations.

For those who hear the call, this is your moment to stand, to rise from the apathy that has dulled the collective conscience. Engage, educate, and enact change. Each step you take builds a path away from darkness and towards a light—a light that not only exposes the atrocities but illuminates the way forward.

In this journey, it is not merely about fighting against the darkness but about kindling the light within each of us. Each conversation, each act of resistance, sews the seeds of a future where peace isn’t just a fleeting dream but a living, breathing reality. Let us not be mere spectators of history’s grim chapters; let us rewrite them. Let’s not just endure this world; let's change it, together.
