Chapter Eight:America the Beautiful


numb fingers, cold and dead. bodies sprawled along the blood stained carpet. trying to move, but cannot. the blade thrown into the corner for no one to see. awaken the next day. limp and sore. what have they done? shutting everyone eout. lock the doors and swallow the keys drowning in their thoughts. deeply motivated to someday get out. but is this even possible? kept away in a box for so many years. keep us locked up so we wont break. fragile lives, fragile lies. content with anything, not sure whats next. looking out a window into civilization. fingers following the wind. and thats when they know that civilization has gone down the drain. everyone lying to one another. the government is not honest. Nixon, JFK, Vietnam, Bush, Iraq, Watergate. where is it all getting us? Nowhere. Nowhere but into a deeper hole. a hole in which we will never escape. the neverending story of the world. we may win this episode, but whats to become of us next time? we fought our war towards independence,now its their turn. why are we all so brainwashed? i go to school everyday, and what do i hear? i hear teenagers, americas future leaders, screaming out hate. wanting to bomb the middle east, bomb Iraq, Bomb afghanistan. do they even know what they're talking abut? why do they hate the middle east? because they attacked our country? we've done the same to them. and then we have the nerve to wonder why they hate us so much. we just dont realize the truth. look beyond the mushoroom clouds, and you will see, the leaders are the same as you and me. like spoiled little children. one person wants it one way, and another disagrees. two spoiled children, so used to getting their way. each believing they are the best. many options to choose from. so consumed with tthemselves. theirs are the only options worht becoming. two spoiled children, all grown up. its horrible. i remember, when i was little, my sister would p8ll my hair, and i would just go ahead and pull hers right back. some peole never learn they just kep pulling. and the worst part is no one knows the truth. Americans are told only what the American government wants them to know. only the good things. no one wants th hear what they've done wrong. always telling us how they've improved things. they're so good. and they did thsi, and they ddi that. how we should thank them and respect them they never Fucking tell us everything. telling us how everyone else is so bad. "the axis of evil" our enemies. saying how Iraq has "weapons of mass distruction" and how sudam is so bad and evil. but do they ever tell us why? of course not. there has to be a reason. we do somethign to them, they do something back to us and it will go on forever. a neverending war. the war that has been going on since the bvegining of time. because no one can compromise. 20 years from now, its just goin gto be another page in a history book. the fighting will stop for awhile, but wil it really? it doesnt stop. we just stop hearing about it. and then a few years later something happens close to home, and everyone suddenly starts caring again? fucking morons. cover it up with your baseball games and your PTA meetings, we arnt solving anythign by avoiding it. simply spreading it out. and if this is what it means to be american, to forger about everyon ebut ourselves, to lie to our citizens, lie to the future leaders of our country, adn then blaming others for what we've failed to notice, if this is what it means to be American, then i'm proud to call myself Anti-American.
