I like analogies, who doesn’t, I like to make analogies,
\nwho does not? Here’s one comes to mind.
\n“Sisyphus, son of Aeolus and king of Corinth who,
\nfor his avarice and treachery, was condemned in the
\nunderworld to roll a huge rock uphill which, upon
\nreaching the top, always rolled to the bottom.” Websters.
\nThen you have the military-industrial complex, who have
\nbeen rolling stones up and down Afghanistan’s mountains
\nfor what is it, how many years?.
\nHowever, unlike Sisyphus, these war-meisters do not feel
\ncondemned for their avarice and trickery, rather they
\nlaugh all the way to their respective banks or generalships.
\nWe are the condemned, I who write this, and you who read it.
