Why does this feel so appropriate?


We starve, look at one another short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new-told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes


Somewhere, inside something, there is a rush of greatness
Who knows what stands in front of our lives
I fashion my future on films in space
Silence tells me secretly everything, everything

Eyes, look your last
Arms, take your last embrace
And lips, oh you, the doors
Of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
Seal with a righteous kiss
The rest is silence
The rest is silence

Singing our space songs on a spider-web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie

Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in, the sunshine in


(Sorry, just a little angry now and looking for some sign of hope and Rado's song seem to fit.)


Khash.

1. One of those days?
It's got to get better.

3. Hey, Peggy!
Edited on Mon Jan-30-06 11:48 PM by khashka
You're the right generation to remember this the first time around.

I thought of posting 3500 instead but thought the line "Prisoners in Niggertown, this is a dirty little war" might get me deleted for use of the N word. But blacks are statistically more likely to be poor, to end up in the military as their best option, as their only option if they want an education and a decent living wage. (And the contempt our brave men and women are treated with makes the N word appropriate - it's a contemtble word, but is useful to describe the way they've been treated.)

Peggy, I have hope but I sometimes think nothing has changed. But I will hold on to my hope. "Only hope breaks the chain".

I'm just feeling a little down.

Khash.

5. Not tonight, my very dear Peggy
I just don't want to subject anyone I like to me now. I'm angry and weepy - and the pain's getting bad and I'm irritable (when that happens, I withdraw, I hate it and don't want anyone else to deal with it. I get nasty.)

Tomorrow?

Khash.
