The City's Bride

Thu, 21 Sep 2006 03:02:35 CDT

A ghost of a woman floats between her beloved city, she has no love of her own. She walks through her town with sadness and with attachment. She is the citys bride, a beautiful and lonely sight.

Unspeakable

The unspeakable hooror of AIDS in Africa. The constant opression, poisoning, raping and robbing of this mother of human kind. The mother Africa that we all owe our lives to. We owe reparations to this battered continent, we owe our lives to this continent, we have stolen all her children , we have sickened and poisoned all her babies, we have taken all her wealth, we have divided her and conquered her, we have built a might empire on the backs of her people that we took from her and enslaved, we are a world leader a world power because we took her sons from her and made them die on our soil, for generations, these people are removed from their roots, and we still do not stop and we still do not apologize at all. We only take more.

Fabric and Slavery

Thu, 21 Sep 2006 03:02:34 CDT

Communism losing to slavery and capitalism. Sweat shops in Asia being compared to slavery conditions. Enslaving people through sweat shops. Greed, superiority, wealth, taking over, taking advantage, losing ideals, fighting and losing wars over fabric. Fabric of our nation, common threads, battles, governments, trade, money, and racism.

America the Beautiful

Thu, 21 Sep 2006 03:02:34 CDT

The fabric of our nation. The real face of our country, ugly hideous tragic unthinkable unfair dirty filthy wasteland full of greed and slaughter and debauchery and racism and wasted life. But still beautiful.

The Death of a City

Thu, 21 Sep 2006 03:02:33 CDT

the death of a city, the racism that brought it up, maintained it, and killed it, the people of New Orleans that were responsible for it's magic and lure and flavor and history, are gone from it now, ripped out not from the waters but from our people, our actions, our acceptance of racism, the chains of slavery rattled loudly.
