gittin' drunk and depressed tonight, thinkin' about my country
damnit, wish i could go to the big rally tomorrow, wish i could run for president and straighten this fuckin' mess out personally, i know i could do it too, so could any of us.

wish i could get through to the republicans and the blind bush supporters, wish i could get through to bush himself, the bastard. wish i could bring the founding fathers back from the dead, and get drunk with them too.

wish i could end this stupid fucking war, wish i could write a protest song that would change the world, wish i could stop a hurricane and dry out new orleans and ease the pain there, but i can't.

wish i could bring jesus back too and he and i could raise holy hell in d.c. and kick some ass. wish i could unite our nation and end this ridiculous polarization, wish i could make bush meet with cindy and feel her pain, the asshole deserter.

wish i could buy you all a nice cold one, and light up a big fat one, wish i had my nation back, and my sanity and peace of mind, but no, we have a bush in the white house. wish i had a giant can of raid to rid us of that giant cockroach cheney.

wish i could paint a masterpiece like picasso's guernica to make people think about the horror of war, and wish i could bring back the 3000 from 9/11, the 2000 dead soldiers, and the hundreds of thousands of innocents in iraq. wish i could make whole the 15,000 crippled soldiers too, and i wish there really were a hell for fuckers like bush.

i think i'll have another.

6. Damn Mopaul, you write mighty pretty! I wish I could vote for you and that
Edited on Fri Sep-23-05 07:28 PM by Talismom
you could have all your other wishes too! I'm making my poster now and planning to get on the bus early in the am. It's not too hard to get angry enough to make the poster--just hard to decide which rant to put into writing! I'lll think about you when I'm in DC and try to get some nice photos to post. Have a cold one for me!

12. oh mopaul
I commiserate with you in your intense frustrations. Yet every time I think of it, I know that the powers that be who have usurped
our powers, I know deeply, that they will meet the same demise every single Imperial power throughout recorded history, ie. their own bloody hubris, i feel at the very least we can rely on that.

22. sorry to hear that, anarchy..
It will never be "gone", but you will learn to live with the hurt..(Think of it as that butt-ugly armoire that's been in the family forever so you can't get rid of it, so you put antimacassars on top and distracting vases of various sizes and colors... and shove it around from one room to the other until you hardly notice it anymore.)

I know it's probably too early for this to resonate..... hang in there..

29. there is a hell
for fuckers like bush and his kind--it's the hell of being them.

These are world-class thieves and criminals. Nothing redeemable, nothing worthwhile. Rolling in wealth and yet bankrupt in every way, they are never happy, never satisfied. Their every waking thought is focused on how to take from others and feed their cravings. You can't get through to people like this. They have no feelings. Their hearts are black. Many of them will die without a glimmer of repentance. Give up on them.

We are going to build the world we want and leave these depraved and insane monsters stewing in their own little hells, like in a Bruegel painting. Don't despair mopaul--we have only just begun to fight.

34. You're great, man!
hahaha. I've gotta laugh. I can just see you and Jesus racing around causing all hell to break out. That would be way way too cool.

I also see a giant can of Bush-B-Gon.

Thanks. I need inspiration. It's good to know I'm not alone. It's good to know someone hurts for a semblance of sanity. It's good to know someone can get drunk, because I burnt my liver. Have one on me.

The light requres the darkness. (I just made that up. It's really stupid. )
