Happy Easter.  Happy Passover. 

But not for those who suffer our greed.

I know I'm not alone in finding the gargantuan amounts of political

monies raised obscene, that they'll keep on keeping on like kids in a supermarket-size candy store, because they can. A family of political vampires worship $ together to stay together.  Stir into this caldron, 

media; corporations, etc., you know the deal, and a piece of moldy cloth

that once represented a country with high ideals.  Drink the Kool Aid. 

.

Mass murder media clanging bells and whistles like pealing church bells when candidates' contributions increase early on, because money is the new religion.  Wait ... Sodom and Gomorrrah have

nothing on 'The Homeland!' 

.

I'm not religious in the sense of traditional religion, corporate

governance if you ask me, but I can't help thinking of the story of

Jesus throwing out the money changers in the Temple.

.

So Easter will be celebrated like other faux 'holidays,' deep-sixing

anything resembling piety, money, the graven image worshiped in its

place; and the collateral damaged whose numbers are kept secret so

Americans don't freak-out.  People with hopes and wishes no different

than our own, have become expendable, an afterthought -- over there,

not here.  Nice. 

.

Can rituals be holy when life has so little value, when mass murder

becomes a means of having more?  Is there a bunny and colored eggs

to add to the celebration of spring in this picture?  Little chicks...

.

Speaking of chicks -- that's a whole other nightmare.  Actually, no, its

all part of the same godforsaken greed, isn't it?  Just about everything.  Better watch what you eat during the 'holiday.' 

.

Money changers rule.  Happy Easter.  Happy Passover, but not for

those who suffer our greed -- oop's.
