Come! Join me in the small domed parlor of the watchtower on the 16th floor. I will be there at sundown to watch for the burning victory ...fires from Troy. Come...you, me and the Watchman will sit together.

The Watchman will most likely be there already. He's always there. Exhausted. Sickened by what he knows of this stupid, distant war...terrified by what he fears will come next. This war has been endless and horrid... a ridiculous waste. He will be the first to know of the war's end, but quickly so will the rest of us as we watch our sons and daughters return in body bags for a worthless cause.

And then, as if that were not horror enough, we will watch our leaders bring us to the edge of total destruction. Right at the moment when we most need to be healed, as a people, as a nation, they will choose to plot against each other instead of bringing us together; settling personal vendettas and orchestrating idiotic power grabs, instead of unifying us.

Come! We will watch them murder and betray. We will watch them lie and plot and manipulate. It will be beautiful in it's horror. And we might even salivate a little enjoying the smell of their bloodlust. But in watching it together, in seeing it for what it really is...unglazed and un-glossed...their shame utterly exposed, we may find the healing common ground we so desperately desire.

There is still hope.

Come.
