Life is life.

So it is so.

ZOMG. Life is so beautiful, Mother Earth, and God the King of all things, has given us so many masterpieces. But this Empathy Bug i was born with drags me down below the ground, and as time ticks forward, always forward, i find myself romantisizing at times of the Norweigian honor in Death.

Passing on, shaking hands with God,
finding out your real life score.
Sick of humans predicting mine,
only God can judge.

So here I am, still alive and kicking, 100% American. I dun ask WTF happened, because I know, i know how all the cards fell, i guess i ask, WTF are we gonna do?

The OLD SCHOOL generation is still hanging on by it's finger nails, ruling everything with a mindless fist that loves to rap itself around modern money, totally disregarding true consequences for the future.

I open my eyes, they bleed, i cry. can't smile, it's like i died.

So the other day, in Iraq, Pilgrims were walking to honor holy grounds, eff up religious death squads ambused and ganked women, children and men who carried nothing more than cloth.

130 murdered.

HOW CRAZY CAN YOU BE???????

How on God's green and brown Earth can you EVER rationalize that GOD would want you to assassinate woman and children who were doing nothing more than walking to pray?

HOW CRAZY CAN YOU BE???????

WHY would someone EVER do that?

WHY?

WHY?

WHY?

american politicians.
so ineffectual.
so bloated.
living like evengelical rock stars,
the constitution their groupie.

my eyes are peeled.
my mouth is gone,
my mind asks
how long?
how long?

I share your outrage.
However, thinking that people do the things they do because they're insane (or evil for that matter, not you necessarily, but many in a similar position do) is terribly unproductive. If you understand their world and their beliefs, they're actually doing something that is hardly surprising, quite the opposite in fact.

Did you get some smoke in your eye, Shan?

Here, have some eye drops.

Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :

Red eye, yellow eye, blue eye, green . . .

Which little eye, can you see?

*stops and heads off to child's bookshelf for further research to see which order those colors are actually supposed to be in . . . *
