Angry

I watch the news and

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why do the Janjaweed

Rape and mutilate

For land

Religion

Women treated as animals

Children starved

Holy fuck and all we care about is

Gas mileage

DVDs

Football games

Getting enough turkey

Christmas presents

And all they want is not to be raped and mutilated

Not to be fucked out of existence

I just had an epiphany moment of realization of (let's face it) MY own selfish materialism when I got thinking about thanksgiving and how that one holiday compares to the vast majority of the rest of the world's population and their meager rations of food. I think I sent you an email about it....
Amen to your sentiment.
