Layer I — The Masks

A soldier stands before a cracked, dirty mirror. His tired face is reflected.

They speak of honor.
But honor is written in contracts.

They speak of sacrifice.
But the sacrifice is not theirs — it is yours.

They speak of homeland.
But their homeland is the market.

Behind every anthem, a lobby.
Behind every banner, a deal.
Behind every grave, a receipt.


Layer II — Aggressor vs. Defense

Armed soldiers run forward with weapons, faceless and uniform.

If you march to invade, your hands are not clean.
If you kill for their profit, your soul is theirs.

But if the fire comes to your home,
if your child wakes to bombs in the night,
then defense is not the same as aggression.
It is the last breath of love that fights to survive.

Yet even defense leaves wounds that never close.
There is no glory in the grave.


Layer III — The Pseudo-Defenders

Demonstrators dressed in black hold banners reading Peace and Patriotism; faces hard, intent.

Beware of those who raise banners painted with the word Peace
while rifles hang heavy on their backs.

They chant freedom, but dream of conquest.
They call drills “protection,”
but in living for war,
they have already become the aggressors they condemn.

Their peace is written in blood.

PEACE IS NOT WEAKNESS.

Breathe. The spark is yours.
