Pointless Thoughts - May 16/02

A lack of inspiration
But wasn't it all lies?
A lack of classification
And you wonder how time flies
Money in your pocket
Coffee cup in hand
Life's a time-bomb rocket
The ostremu sticks his head in the sand
And shivers are sent down my spine
While I chew my spearmint gum
And everything seems to be fine
So I stick up my thumb
Spiderman's the new hit
Because Superman died
And the X-men don't fit
Because Batman cried
But isn't there always a villian to fight
And a beautiful woman to save?
In the end nothing's right
Because the Americans aren't so brave*
And I'm going to end this pointless rant
On the note of "I feel like poo"
So don't tell me what you can and can't
Otherwise I'm going to have to shoot you

Sidenote: *I'm sorry if I've offended anyone with the "Americans aren't so brave" but I'm sick of hearing about 9/11, and I live in Canada... I should be hearing stuff about Canadians, not Americans. Plus one of my best friends is an American and he's being sent to Boot Camp because he's part of the U.S. Navy and I think it's completely stupid.

I like to rhyme a lot... that's my main talent in poetry

Oh, yeah? Gimme a rhyme for chimney. Oops, you live in Canada. Try Regina, then.

You are gay, eh?

Your title was quite apt.

I'm not offended by the "Americans aren't so brave" line, but I am a little put off with the rhyming of you and poo. Glad to know that is your main talent.

best poem i've read all day ! haha -- no seriously though, those would make really good lyrics ... with a few small changes

I thought this poem was great! An original work, and very very interesting. I really really really enjoyed this--more than I thought I would. It's very very cool

As far as your comment about Americans? AMEN! I'm an American, and I certainly don't take offense at your comment. I, too, am SICK of hearing about 9/11. I was sick of hearing it by the end of the week to be honest. Now, don't get me wrong--I am sorry it happened, and I do feel bad for the friends and families of victims, but...come on, guys. It was bound to happen. Everyone is in such major shock about this incident, but think of the other countries who have been attacked and are still in war..think of Israel attacking Palestine when the Palestinians have no real weaponry, and they're left to throw rocks at the enemy. AMERICA IS NOT INVICIBLE. NO COUNTRY IS.

I had to draw a political cartoon for a US History assignment, and I chose to draw it about 9/11. The first box shows a man standing in front of a faded drawing of the US, which is colored in the faded red-white-and-blue of the flag. The man is wearing a shirt that says "I AM BUSH." He is angry and points eastward saying "He stole my playmoney!" (After all, that's all money is, especially in the US of A's government. It's sucked up from our workers in their taxes, and then spent on the most ridiculous of things, instead of feeding our hungry, or raising Minimum Wage, or providing homes for people, or even bettering our schools.) The second box shows a first-grade classroom. The teacher says "Class, somebody bombed the WTC today..." and the kids all chime together in saying "So?" The third box shows Bush over in Afghanistan, bringing a large sledgehammer down on the head of a baby, laughing. The fourth box simply says "America the Proud: What was once their strength has become their weakness. THE MIGHTY WILL FALL." Under the whole cartoon, I put a caption that says "Children know no hatred until they are taught by the ones they love."

Guys, I remember on 9/11 and we were going home on the bus. All the high schoolers (except myself) were telling the elementary schoolers to quiet down because something terrible had happened and they wanted to hear the radio. The kids chimed in with "Oh! Oh I know what you're talking about! There was lice at school today!" Lice? Lice was the worst fear of the children on the worst day of American History. Wonder why? Because as Confucious taught, people are born good and taught evil. There's a REASON that you can't blame a baby for pulling the cat's tail or yanking her big sister's hair. THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER. And until this entire chaos that America and the rest of the world was thrown into, they knew nothing of Palestine or Afghanistan or any other Middle Eastern country. Oh, but they do now! What do they know? That they're bad. Not to be trusted. Destructive. Heartless. Blood-thirsty murderers.

What does the Statue of Liberty say? I'm not entirely sure, but it says something like "Give me your tired, your weak, your hungry" or something like that. Yet, every single Middle Eastern man or woman is given a pat-down (sometimes much, much more, in the most humiliating fashions) before boarding an airplane (As if they're spending all their money protecting airplanes! What if bin Laden's next move is to attack the war ships?).

United we stand. Divided we fall. America the Brave. The Land of Freedom. What a bunch of false lies and facades! The absolute HUBRIS of the red-white-and-blue American is sickening. Hubris is excessive pride, and excessive pride is blind and naive. Don't believe me? Read the Theban Plays about King Oedipus (aka Oedipus Rex) by Sophocles.

I'd apologize for rambling as I usually do, but...I feel very very strongly about this subject. I've PLENTY more to say, but...lol. I'll end this now.

Faithfully,
Lady of the Night
