men with cigarettes and high powered firearms.
and why the fuck did you think i left the military?
i don’t like the neighborhood i live in.
seems like there’s a lot going on lately.
‘That’s what they say on TV.’
I just want me and my family to be safe, y’know?
Well, I lied:Β I actually do appreciate the neighborhood I live in very much.
At least, their supermarkets are affordable and healthy. π
But I heard how my neighborhood was in the 80’s, when my parents lived a couple of blocks away.
I don’t wanna get hit by a stray bullet coming home from work.
Nobody deserves to live in fear like that.Β It’s sad when you gotta come to that conclusion that violent action is the only way to solve problems.Β Self defense, yes.Β But I mean, c’mon… :,(
beautiful… i loved the 1st 2 lines the most

I hate to use “we’re only human” as an excuse, but it’s true. Not all humans are born with adequate reasoning capabilities. Seems like most conflicts (like war) are about vengeance, which feels really good, at least in the moment. Unfortunately, it’s not a very good strategy for the future.
Perhaps we should concentrate on making people laugh. π
