I AM WORTHY OF HATE
AND I IS IMPERIAL
I am gay, straight, deist, political, male, female, child,
aborted, born unwanted, in foster care, welfare taker baby maker, illiterate,
believer in climate change, denier of the same. I am elected, appointed, ran
over, tax payer, facts dodger, fan of all things explosive, especially
handguns. I am military, spit upon, glorified for them I killed, loved only for
them that died. I am fighting for oil because that’s how you see it, I am not
fighting for freedom for others which of course is bullshit as some see it. I
am a family on the brink, a ship about to sink, one who loves to drink to get
me drunk, junky monkey, as well as a lover of fat fast food junk. I am good,
bad, mean, cruel and kind. Hate me, rape me, kill me too, I am Liberal. Conservative,
Christian, Muslim, Jew. I am the soul of society and I am sick of you and you
and you and you too and everything you, whatever you are, do. Why not just say
it straight we raise up generation after generation in pools of despicable hate;
that is our love, it is what makes me as a societies soul truly great.

I for one am tired, exhausted, mentally physically, emotionally, spiritually. Two more babies were killed in a close in Detroit suburb this week, that goes with the two found in a freezer, all murdered by a parent. This does not include the 5 dive by or accidental killing of children less than 10 years old in the past 60 days or the one teenager shot in the head for sitting in a car smoking a little weed with her friends on the border of Detroit or the 21 year old who had just graduated college and was headed to grad school in the fall term. There are more, too many for me to want to remember but the entire spectrum is covered in what I have listed Blacks, Whites, babies, toddlers, teens and young adults. In the title "I" is imperial as in all inclusive. I don't UNDERSTAND why we all need to have someone to abhor, to hate, to look down upon. I simply am ignorant and can not quite figure it out.

I guess Detroit is not safe for children.
ReplyDeleteNo Alice we do truly have an indifferent and high kill rate.
DeleteWish I had an answer for you.
ReplyDeleteI am entertaining all positions, potions, and suggestions Jean
DeleteSometimes I wish for a world where I didn't know any more than what happens around the block from me. To know all these horrors is so exhausting. It scarcely allows one to bear up under it all.
ReplyDeleteBeing able to bear up under the unending stream of all that is Detroit within my view Charles is the one quality I hate about myself. I have become immune in my heart.
DeleteHell is other people; they all live in Hell, which is this planet Earth. And, according to some, it was all concocted by a God. Yeah, right on man.
ReplyDeleteOthers create hell i agree Philip, but they do it for themselves, live in it alone yet when you have so many that create it all in one place their hell tends to intrude on mine.
DeleteHumans make our own Hell...thanks for coming by today.
ReplyDeletee~~The saddest part is we pass it from generation to generation, then a generation rises up and redecorates hell and it starts all over again with just a different quality of trash in it.
DeleteMark, I did not miss news of Detroit while in the Keys. Somehow Miami, seems to have less of these heinous crimes. Since when did murder be the answer to all issues like jealousy, divorce, greed etc...?
ReplyDeleteJodi~~isn't that the idea of going away from here to somewhere else~~maybe just to see if their hell is non existent or somehow different and less malevolent?
DeleteWarm ALOHA from Honolulu, Dear MARK

=^..^=
Thank you Cloudia. Kind wishes gratefully accepted.
DeleteHow sad to read these verses Mark ~ We have our own share of tragedies too ~
ReplyDeleteGrace it is becoming universal i think. sort of like a madness spilling over from continent to continent, city to city almost as if contentment frightens people. God save us from ourselves.
DeleteHave been back here a few times, reading this over and over, meowpapa ... I hear you ... but also think, that not all just can't be lost ... not even in Detroit ... me thinks, we ordinary peeps still have a huge amount of influence on how things turn out for a huge amount of people ... let's start with a simple smile towards the next person we meet in order to make a huge difference in that person's life ... Love you, cat.
ReplyDeleteMeowmama I think you have a point. It, change and peace come from not being afraid of the burn and teaching others to not retaliate as they immolate. It is hard and getting harder here because the losses are so damn tragic and acceptable and 3 days max and out of the public conscience.
DeleteThe tragedy of death of the you and the hate that seems to be all consuming
ReplyDeleteI will admit Jeff it is hard to continue to care for them i see around me.
DeleteI've been learning more and more that hatred and violence is derived from fear or just simply fearing what we cannot comprehend, and sometimes we can't understand unconditional love. Is there even such a thing? This world lacks it. It truly does.
