Well written.

The sands of time move slowly but when we are all swept away, I would like to think we actually made the world better, we achieved something, even if our names will never be recorded in the history books. Humanity has not shown itself in a very good light and perhaps this is the pandemic we had to have. Not one of a virus, but one which shows how far the populations of the earth have fallen. How greed and lies are everyday fodder for the masses and the Masters of spin rape and plunder our countries for their own ends. No longer a foreign enemy, the wolf is inside the door and must be overcome. We are watching a potential genocide greater than at any time in history and perpetrated against humanity in every corner of the globe but still so many hide under their beds in fear of the unknown and know nothing of the battle for humanity that has unfolded.

In the late 90s I could feel we as a culture in Melbourne were under attack but as Michael writes - “from what”. I believed then as I do now, that this is war as true as the Nazi invasion of Poland, but we can’t see the enemy. What type of war is that? The most ancient kind from an ancient adversary- the devil himself. This is a war at the level of words and ideas. God - who is the Eternal Word manifests as Goodness, Light and Love. The devil manifests as lies. He is a liar from the beginning. He is the father of Lies. The lies that are attacking our culture and manifesting as harmful action. Words become thoughts, beliefs and eventually actions. That is how powerful words are.

Stunning writing Michael thank you. Sometimes I wonder if this is the war 'we had to have'. A war to wake us from ourselves. A war to test us so we could decide and enact our true values. A war to help us decide what is important to us. A war to make us care for one another. If so, then we had better make sure we win, because the alternative is too awful to contemplate.
