The Forever War

Throughout history, men died.

Wars, political turmoil, dangerous professions,

Men died all the time.

And their death fuelled the quality of life of the living.

With modern technology and politics, it's changed slightly.

But the core idea has remained.

Today's men die a non-physical death for the benefit of the living.

The men of today become invisible,

Irrelevant,

They are a manager at Starbucks, aged 35.

A McDonald's chef at age 42.

Uber driver, age 32.

They lose the war of economy and become as good as dead,

Unable to find a wife,

Unable to help their family,

No one remembers them and no one cares about them.

Their voices mean nothing as their elections get robbed.

They become a silent tax slave, which is no different from a corpse that turns into manure.

They perform goods and services for better men without even being able to afford a house.

They serve the winners as they are on their dates.

Death has never come off the table for men.

If you're a man today,

It's the same as being a man of the last century.

You either perform or you die.

Nothing's changed.

So perform and live the life of the living.
