15 things I love about my mother

  1. She is literally always there when I need her
  2. She lets me not believe in god/ghosts/afterlife/souls without too much hassle 
  3. She really appreciates the things that I love
  4. She cooks for me
  5. When I couldn't drive she would take me everywhere
  6. She sacrifices for my happiness everyday
  7. Sometimes she notices that I throw my dish in the sink without washing it and she doesn't say anything
  8. She doesn't tell me to clean my room that much
  9. She lets me chill with my friends all I want
  10. She lets me do my own thing/ live my own life
  11. She tries really hard to understand me
  12. She knew me when I didn't know myself
  13. She put me into a really good school district
  14. A lot of what she does revolves around making me and my brothers happy
  15. I used to be her dad in a past life

Dehumanization

War is inevitable
We constantly feed
Feeding on those lesser
Bringing them to their knees

 Inject power into the veins
The blood streams of our people
Tarnish the core of the brain
Make them believe it’s not lethal

Prevalent blood shed
Cheers from the masses
As we wave our pricks
And raise our glasses

Who are you?
Your existence isn’t significant
We can’t feel you
When we see nothing but blank faces
