War of the Words

There is a war, a war of words that kills and maims everyday.
Volleys of misinformation,
salvos of rhetoric,
bombs of ignorance.
Weapons of mass distraction raining down upon you, launched from a billion media cannons. Subscribed, underwritten and broadcast.

This offensive offensive, is rewritten, like history, everyday.
A brave tomorrow requires a courageous new past from which to spring.
Peace of mind?
Or a piece of our minds?
Cleansed, like the fresh page upon which untrue words sit like land mines, set to maim the innocent and the politically dyslexic.

Write your own history in advance.
Be your own author in this collective autobiography.
A journalist of self who cannot lie.

This raw war rages through the ages
and on red pages we have read.
Take up words like secret weapons
and say what must be said.

Transmit and you shall receive!

The Reverend
