When one people have declared war on another, and have plotted to injure, oppress, and subdue those peaceful peoples, when is it right to rise up and defend those peaceful? And is defense simply removing oneself from harm’s way or does it involve an active offense? I don’t have the answer; instead, I’ve got ideals that say no violence is OK, no attack is OK, only living the way you need to live is, come what may. But these ideals don’t address the rage inside of my body, that every single cell pulsates with, as I watch videos like this. I have have been photographed, videotaped and, I’m sure, taken a little notice of. I don’t delude myself that I would be so important to the police state that they would plot against me; however, it seems you don’t have to be very important.

Let the nausea strike first, the gag reflex; then the tingling; always the tingling just next, in the ears, like a shine right off the bottom … Read moreliving with words inside you
Prophecy
What will I do? Who will I see? Questions that plague me. Where will I live? What will I eat? is there a Love I’m destined to meet? Angel in the capital, dangling with my hat full meeting on steps to see pictures of Venus; I will dream us.
