They used to play with firecrackers
They used to run and slide in the mud.
On the fourth of July, everyone noticed
The president speaks like cows chew cud.
I fast to make myself remember, more than over there;
I fast to keep the pace.
My Diety is present everywhere
and I am part of this race.
I try to hate them and I speak with words
that burn my mind and make me hurt
I speak revenge into my mirror
but my face is the receptor
Now I will fast to remember
I fast for what I don’t know
I fast and when I eat I will feel
that I have done something
something
something
I’ve done something.

Author's Note: I'm really hungry and the wind was whipping sheets of spikey rain. I had fun taking my dog out and we were really wet but I felt like a child and it felt good. I wish I was better with keeping up with politics. Conrad Bush II was a real discourager for that, despite his entertaining language. I dont mind that he's funny, I just care that he's the commander and chief of the armed forces and there are 2,347 women and men killed and now he wants more to die in order for us to use up the rest of the oil- so we can be a world power when we are out of oil? Sounds like revelation-like famine, and he's such a christian so why's he's so scared? We can eat without oil if we would just focus on that instead of killing our people for the last bit of something someday... it seems so greedy- what else could it be? I just don't know... I'm not educated on this subject, and where's the truth in the information that we access anyway? and where's the exit plan? (oh, conveniently, there isn't one, so why don't we just take another country?) what kind of logic is that? is this true? He's a tyrrant and he won't listen to the will of the Nation!!!!! when's someone going to just overthrow him or something, seriously, he's a VERY dangerous human being. He's not just, he's not a balanced decision maker for the equality of the people... He's a dirty politically driven politician. he's a bunch of lies surrounded by liers and generally completely spaced out people... He's not standing for independence. He's not a president. He's not my president, he's my suppressor. Well, directly after writing this I began speaking with others about it and I became more balanced in my perspective, in some sense at least. I know that there is a vast array of information that I am unable to get anywhere near to and that they make "the best decisions" that they can, for who he is and what they do... Likewise, I don't trust this cabinet. I also find it very important that we can all be honest with our feelings- A nation should be loved unconditionally, but the point of all this "independence" is that I can express this side of the story too, the one that just wants to think about the troops- MOSTLY I fasted yesterday in order to support the families of the troops in a deeply spiritual way for me... this is all just for me... my words are just that- words and from a mouth.
