bottomless pit

it is ten years

3650 days.

of a war

with its basis being:

a lie.

a lie easily shoved down throats

throats of citizens who go to work

and watch tv

and shop for always low prices at Walmart

where war is something dirty and far away.

but hey, having a Support Our Troops bumper sticker really helps.

and the government truly is looking out for you.

God Bless America,

the only country too ignorant to realize its own corruption.

our idea of truth is blind,

and robbing from the blind is easy.

i am one person

i am one disgusted person
i can say, 'fuck the system'

all i damn well please

but talk is cheap.

i am out to change.

this newly legal adult will write what she sees.

without censorship.

she will seek the raw and the undesirable.

and share it.

this may be small.

it may be inconsequential.

but one truth is not greater than another.

a truth simply is.

why hide?
