4:57 pm	Giants...ghosts... laughing at us... toying... playing... Never did they intend to grow quite so large! After all, they began just like us! What was inside to strong to contain; it escaped onto page and when read, the accolades pronounced them "Genius!" "Brilliant!" and though they protested thus became royalty! All they ever wanted was to expell the demons and phantoms... the ghosts within! alan January 30, 2010 Current Mood: contemplative (Comment on this)

1:54 pm	Tears falling My tears fall as the bombs and rockets kill indiscriminately. A friend under fire and friends I haven't met paying the price for politics.

3:07 pm	From a few weeks ago, but I've been "paring it down"... 4/30/06 The orange glow colors the night sky. A fire at the industrial park! Big entertainment in a little town! Balcony parties to watch the flames! . Husbands, fathers, sons going to help as the firefighters are called. . Just a fire “they" said, we need help! Their arrival sees flames Burning through the roof strange chunks of glowing stuff all around! They have no idea (or perhaps deep down they do)! Radioactive graphite blown through the roof! No “special” masks or suits just their normal garb. They pick up the chunks and move them away. Doing what good firefighters always do, trying to save what can be and douse even this undousable rampage! No thought of future, just the immediate! The balcony parties are broken up the next day. Wives, families, friends taken away by aircraft. 10 days later tons of sand air dropped and melted to glass! The flames finally die! Also dead and dying the brave men who went there first.. Tongues and innards swollen, rotting, bursting! The “chunks” now are their organs ruptured and“coming up” from the radiation. No medals or heroes graves! Remembered only by families!. 20 years on the carnage continues. Cancers, some counted, some not...men, women, children Still paying with their lives and their futures! The safety roof is cracked animals come and go. People still live and plant gardens to eat! Another of history’s Black anniversaries! This one still alive! Still killing! Still poisoning! As it will for thousands more years! Chernobyl! Current Mood: sad (2 Comments |Comment on this)

2:21 am	Watching Dana Andrews The music swells as he walks slowly among the ghosts of a thousand airmen the graveyard of their aircraft these planes that came home bringing most of their crews with them! Thousands more burnt crushed vaporized in the skies or on the ground of Europe the Pacific North Africa. Fathers, husbands brothers, sons Lovers Souls given for Freedom Rights Thoughts Expression- the same ones that will get you called a Traitor if you use them Now! They gave “The Best Years of Their Lives” how dare we give them away without a whimper! Current Mood: pissed off (Comment on this)

2:59 pm	Something old, something new... 1/13/99 “A Life Lost” “Shiny brown hair strewn over the snow, her eyes staring sightless at the sky” Says the article in the New Year's “New Yorker”. Someone's daughter? Sister? Wife? Mother? Kosovar freedom fighter? Serbian rebel? Another sacrifice on the altar of ethnocentricity... How many millennia have we left to learn that teaching tolerance brings life and happiness for our loved ones; teaching hatred reaps death! ___________________________________ 3/13/06 And now the Death of the Fascist tyrant Unconvicted Unrepentant stokes the passions of hatred anew! Those who refuse to see cry "Murder" and mourn their dead "hero". Those who supported him blame others. While those who died lie quietly awaiting justice that will never come! Current Mood: aggravated (2 Comments |Comment on this)
