“They use words like "casualties" to speak of murder.”
-Aracelis Girmay
This line points out the differences of perspective between people. One person’s atrocity is another’s “no big deal”
These differences of perspective really show the gap in our country. Politics and the government really do not have the same ideas as the people they are supposed to “represent.”

Government
Watchful eye, always looking over my shoulder,
Controlling, possessive, watching my every move,
What is it that you’re so afraid of,
Do you really think I’m such a threat?
You’re the one who commits atrocities,
Hiding your secrets,
Covering up and denying all of your mistakes.
You spy on me, no secrets are allowed,
The end of privacy.
Your persistent surveillance threatens our liberties,
Our nation’s power is our own enemy.
a god who spits blood from tuberculosis and doesn’t even have enough for bus fare
Francisco X. Alarcon, “Prayer” (via quotesfromshannon)
There is a need for a more human like god. One who goes through everyday struggles like every human and one who can get sick and be poor. We need someone we can relate to.
(via edelbene)
Its understandable that people find comfort in a God that is relatable and like them, but do we really want a God that is just like us? Personally, that would seem like a pretty bleak and miserable idea that God could be brought down to the level of us humans. We’re pretty messed up. Relating is fine but I’d much rather have a mysterious higher power that is so great that we can’t understand; instead of one that is just like us.
everyday, capt’n, sir, captain, I was left, a child, after school, I was alone, I found a match, under the sink I found a can, a spray can, ly-sol dis-infectant, it made a torch, I was careful the flame didn’t enter the can, I knew it would explode, somehow I knew, I’m trying to be clear sir—the flame shot across the room, then it was gone
Nick Flynn (via reimer2367)
By this point in the poem, the soldier is completely broken and I imagine in a near hysterical state confessing his sins. He brings this memory up from his childhood, and this shows how deeply the events he has been a part of for the military has affected him. He feels so guilty that he is confessing irrelevant things from his childhood, he is miserable and wants forgiveness for all of the things he has been a part of. When he says he knew the can could explode, or if he was careful that the flame would simply disappear, it may be an allusion to the prison he was stationed at. That if he was careful and stayed out of it, then no guilt could be placed on him; the flame would dissipate. But it seems like he let the flame get too close in this case, and the prison situation blew up in his face.
“They use words like “casualties” to speak of murder.”
-Aracelis Girmay, Arroz poetica
This is how many people think about the war, as it isn’t the ones who make the decisions to go to war that actually have to fight the war. As the poem suggests, it would most likely be a very different story if the president or congress actually had to fight themselves. Their decisions would probably be much wiser and thought out.
