What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

— Only the monstrous anger of the guns.

Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle

Can patter out their hasty orisons…

– Wilfred Owen

    Wow what a smart and useful comment, we should never listen to any quote from a fictional character unless their writer can do all the things they can. Did you ever read an inspiring comment from Superman? Well guess what buddy, it’s all a lie! The writer of that character can’t leap tall buildings in a single bound so how dare they suggest that the human spirit is indomitable, or that people should work together, they can’t even shoot heat rays from their eyes!

    Thank you so much for your intelligent and helpful reply, you truly are a beacon of truth in this tangled web of lies we call “fiction”, whatever would we do without you?

        So in other words you have nothing to say, and resort to reddit meme babble.
