you know, i saw this last night

... and I asked myself, Would we have gotten here yet if not for those heartless pigs?

And I'm also thinking about making up the news... shifting all the way into my alternate universe and blogging from there. It's gotta be better than the idiot campaigns and the long run of reports proving stuff we've all known for years and still bubkes is being done about it.

I'm also thinking about a lot of creative things. I'm not feeling so physically good this morning, but my lights are getting brighter from all these deuced pills. I've decided to set a date to be back in perfect health... but can't yet decide on a reasonable one.

I'm bummed about American Exceptionalism again. It's everywhere. I hate it.

On the Turning Away

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
Mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
