  • stop hold what is going on?
    from an unelected president
    to a downtown suicide mission
    from the search for a terrorist
    to a revisit of the '91 war
    why how? i'm still trying to recuperate here
    people buying duct tape
    who are they kidding
    if you're attacked you'll die so be it
    i hate not knowing
    i hate not being able to make a difference
    i don't understand how one man
    in a democracy can make such a big decision
    why the trigger happy glee
    why the big suvs clogging up the streets
    shit don't make sense
    a bomber apologizing but proud of his achievements?
    fucker, can't believe you're still alive
    i wish you weren't
    but who am i to say who lives and dies
    why so pissed at some tv show?
    we're goin to war
    why so much coverage for something trivial
    do they merit the same attention
    why can't i find a trustworthy source?
    i don't know who to believe
    i'm fed a lot of junk
    i'm fed a lot of propaganda
    spam is now a weapon of war
    lawmakers allowed to be bullies
    company executives with large loopholes
    why are they more deserving?
    is it who they know?
    were they blessed with a silver spoon?
    the caste system exists everywhere
    just with different breakdowns
    we can change our fates
    but what if everyone's against it
    then what?
    runaway home?
    home may be where the heart is
    family is still nearest and dearest
    but freedom and tolerance vary geographically
    even tho we live on the same planet
    and share the same genes
    you now what
    i hope some alien civilization comes for a visit
    maybe then we'll forget our silly disputes
    raise a big fat skeptic eyebrow to the scriptures
    so men will not foolishly die
    for an outdated localized manuscript

    there's much to be liked about living
    good food, fun, family
    sunshine, clear water, cool mountain breeze
    falling in love feeling sad finding a friend
    caring for nature space explorations
    finding a cure all
    discovering life's mysteries

    i hope the protest will have an impact

    and i hope lady luck will be with me
    when i'm in sin city ;)
    tho i'll probably pump away my quarters
    at the arcade :D

  • yup... my thoughts exactly..

  • Was that a poem ? Reminds me of old Indonesian poems/soneths written in the new orde...

  • Similar thoughts. Either there is one last war that ends all life or the aliens show themselves and take over the planet. Either way, a larger problem should help us not to get so burdened with little ones.

    We are but insignicant dust in the vast realm of existence/non-existence.

    BTW: There is no such thing as a democracy. Not the least in US.

  • eh just some mind dump.. i can't write long sentences :D

  • figures- in an poem with 85 lines about war, the one that jumps out at me is "spam is now a weapon of war"
