Facsist America

It is just like FoxNews uber conservatives to exclude the candidate of it's very own party who has different views and has voted differently on the hard hitting issues than the other Republicans. Or shall we call them sheep? No politician ever speaks for what they truly believe, for what they think is right, or for what they feel may get our nation back on track and thriving. They all say what they think their party members want to hear. Republicans: "We're fighting for our freedom"... Democrats: "We need to get out... at some point" ... The crowd cheers for each and people follow blindly. We obtained our freedom centuries ago, we're fighting for the freedom of a nation's people who do not want it. Most countries are utterly disgusted with the way Americans live. Freedom is not what "they" hate, it is us for invading their homeland and slaughtering thousands upon thousands of innocent people in the name of democracy. Or was it WMD's? Wait, I think it was because of 9/11... oh so many different reasons.

Ron Paul speaks of freedom, but not imposing democracy on a nation whose beliefs do not support it, he speaks of the freedom the nation was founded on. The freedom of expression, of speech... the freedom to speak out against this asinine war, that Congress never approved without being declared and "enemy combatant" and risk being tortured for possibly, maybe having a chance of knowing something about some sort of terrorist attack.

He speaks of our rights. To bear arms, to keep every dollar earned, as he put it "To get the federal government off our backs and out of our wallets". He speaks of a foreign policy that once existed. Where barter and trade allowed each nation to flourish and function in a healthy economic way.

He speaks of free health care to all Americans, so that impoverished families can still receive care, regardless of their income. Education for all children, the list goes on. But FoxNews doesn't want us to hear that, because FoxNews does not stand for truth. They don't stand for justice, they stand for neo-con manipulation.

We the people...


Need to wake up and make a move

Irony

So, I was driving down the road today, listening to music on my way to the optical place. I see a man walking on the sidewalk. He's talking and gesturing with his hands, really trying to get his point across, it seems. Problem is, the man is alone. And as I'm driving, I say to myself, "Man! That dude is having a full blown conversation with himself! HAHAHA!"; and proceed to think about how crazy he is. Then a few minutes later it dawns on me... I was talkng to mysef about how crazy some dude is for talkng to himself. Oh, irony.

Life

Images, interactions... all imagined. Seeming quite real. Corpse burned, into billions of ash particles. Scattered over the bay, no longer in existance. Yet, there she is. More vibrant than ever. Unsure of why she visits me, I feel vulnerable and prone to attack. Unsure of why I can see her, she flees without a word. Questions racing through my mind, what is real and what is a sign. Closure, I need to find. A goodbye, long over due, but not irrelevant. Family traditions live on, I make sure. I will never forget....

My Mother.

Twilight

(part 1)
dead is the flesh

where trembles once resided
numbness has replaced the nerves
the two have been divided
longing for infallible lust
with steel doors shut and locked
he knows he loved her once before
yet those memories are blocked
a striking archetype of romance
uninhibited attraction
bearing a resemblance
to unattainable satisfaction
he'd seen her face, felt her touch
wiped away her tears
to never know this love again
was the worst of all his fears
empty rooms and empty hearts
naked empty walls
and in that naked empty house
he heard echos of his calls
he cried in fear, he cried in pain
he cried in fits of rage
and yet the story must go on
it's time to turn the page...© 2007 ALI

(part 2; the continuance)
a life of isolation

in this deep and lonely cell
horrendous wounds upon his heart
he'd kept them hidden well
tattered, torn and gashed and bruised
she'd ripped him all to pieces
and even after all the pain
his love for her increases
hopes and dreams and shooting stars
could this be the love he'd lost
he would claw his way back to the top
he'd fight at any cost
to hold her hand, feel her pulse
kiss her sweet soft lips
and as he awoke he realized
he had to come to grips
his dream was gone for it had faded
with the morning's rising sun
he opened his eyes and found himself
right where he had begun...© 2007 ALI
