Products of Pacifisim (Free verse) by Nuit

Products of pacifism In your plastic environments From your own warped conscience You call god science Evolution one man cried Logic built from his own warped pride In his town, his world Masks and fabrications Plastic propaganda Sell his manifestations. Grey scattered fragments Of the selfless lost, Idealistic fantasy Of the life you tossed Away that replaces green. Seen is the concrete jungle of urban man. Machine. Put into work long since To avoid mortal inconvenience. Products of pacifism In your fake optimism Plastic smiles, And twisted intuition Idealistic fantasies lie in wait, Plight of balanced few contemplate. 10000 years of spiritual philosophy 100 years to break an ideology. Evolution! One man cried, Typical monotony Of modern society. Vanity. T.V. shows end. Send more plastic fabrications To make our lives mend.

You don't mention religious wars, but you seem to be saying that godless pacifism is a blight on the world, which would imply that you think religious activism is a good thing. 'Plastic pacifism' = bad. Evolution and logic (from 'warped pride') = bad. So presumably the oppoosite of those, religious activism, equals good.
What do i take from '10000 years of spiritual philosophy'? Well I don't think you've read much Western philosophy. Ten thousand years? Even the semitic philosophy only goes back, what, six thousand? And I don't know if that can be classed as Western. Not in origin, anyway.
Ultimately, with your above comment, this seems to be you saying that ideology is empty and soulless because it encourages inactivity. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't need to tell me how much of a gargantuan dunce I am. I already know.
