I don't think I will ever be able to wrap my mind around this |
|
I watch all of these stories on the television, and it is just too surreal. This is not America in 2005. I have seen many a years on this planet (okay, only 41), but this is just too freakin' unreal.

1. I never expected to witness something like this...9/11 had that surreal, |
|
you're watching and Independence Day type movie, feel to it. And this, this...I just sit numb, and then I go and sit on the front porch and cry, and nothing seems like it will ever be the same here again...
...and then a neighbor comes over, and we talk a bit. And they have that same look on their face, and yet, we're so removed from it still. It's such a helpless feeling.

A little piece of you The little peace in me Will die For this is not america
Blossom falls to bloom This season Promise not to stare Too long For this is not a miracle
There was a time A storm that blew so pure For this could be the biggest sky And I could have The faintest idea
Snowman melting From the inside Falcon spirals To the ground So bloody red Tomorrows clouds
A little piece of you The little piece in me Will die For this is not america
There was a time A wind that blew so young For this could be the biggest sky And I could have the faintest idea
This could be the biggest sky This could be a miracle This could be etc

8. It's beyond comprehension |

On one side you have so many fellow citizens risking their lives saving their neighbors, on the other hand you have a government that waits for a photo-op. I'm proud to be one of the civilians, I'm embarrassed to have this as our government. :hugs:
