MANIFESTING MARTYRDOM, Estajoka

 
Now look to the Western Wall and mourn

Now mourn your warm rejection
Adjacent Golgotha

Break bread with the ancients 
In self-imposed exile

On the all-hallows eve of the election year crisis
Make reign ballistic strength of self-sabotage

And sacrifice more followers in the name of
Another forsaken false prophet

And you’ve sacrificed common fucking sense and fracking logic

Because across the left of your position pond
Novus Ordum Seclorum 
And Ingsoc are losing profits

…highly unacceptable in the social decorum of concomitant capitalistic endeavors…

Fracking un-fucking-believible
God damn near impossible 

Short of prayer to launch a kinet
ic campaign
Crossing oceans
Crossing continents with asymmetric sticks and stones

Define the metric
Criterion for Success
And you’ve established the entire State of Gaza
As just another suicide vest…

Estajoka is a Revolutionary Bum of the Generation GWOT. Raised on GI Joe, He-Man, and corn syrup, Estajoka’s primary source of cognitive dissonance stems from the uncertainty concerning his true identity as a Generation X or a Millennial. In his 20’s Estajoka cut teeth in the industry or war as an executor of shit Boomer policies, in peacekeeping, combat, and humanitarian operations. In return, he was forced to sacrifice a life of peace, to endure the harsh realities, largely isolated to Warfighters, Veterans, and their loved ones. His goal in bringing these works to light is to increase the volume of the silent majority whose stories need to be told.
