a piece of the pie-chart,
first red and now blue
a taste of the rainbow,
first here now removed
a god whispers admissions
appears in your food...
-yeah, that's rational.-
the contemporary vanity,
a golden cross to dress
the utter lack of sanity
lays a 15 year old to rest
a shirt tie-dyed in water
pinned hanging in the sun
stained with blood and rainbow tears
the battle's just begun
a sickened soul stands challenging
the first down to the last
a mother stands, joins the machine
and must mourn the next attack
the happy days renounce the haze
of opinions before truth
the personal maze of hazardous days
become as political as the ruse
my unheralded praise of a remodeling age
magnifies then withers with loss
my bewilderment stays in focus and plays
on my fears and my freedom's cost
I wonder these days: if I'm led astray,
then what's the problem really about?
Am I so immoral that even the fucking
rapists will beat me out?
Am I such a threat that even the abusive
husbands are handed these things
way before any such "scandalous whore"
as myself could be exchanging those rings?
Am I really such sleaze that even the free
won't nourish my need for reform?
Does it really make sense to consider the "blessed"
the ones causing us all of this harm?
And isn't it true that pedophiles too,
may exchange vows and reproduce?
But you're telling me that none of these things
is worse than the rainbow enhancing my bruise?

Proposition 8???? More Like Proposition HATE. (Oh look, I made a funny...sigh.)
So I just got done reading on the amazing site Afterellen.com about the proposition 8 bullshit. I can't fucking believe that!!!! I mean, how long has it been since the rights for gays to get married has been instated in California, and now they're taking it away already because some religious zealouts happened to raise enough in their goddamn bakesale?
Fuck!
I'll bet that half the couples that got married in that like two days they could haven't even finished the leftovers from the fucking receptions, you know? What the hell, people, WHAT THE HELL!!?!?
But no.
They're doing our souls a FAVOR, right?
By denying us all the basic civil rights and breaching the entire constitution they are somehow helping humanity.
Hah!
Well let me ask you this you fucking lunatics.
We're so immoral, so wrong, right? We don't deserve the air we breathe, right?
Well, how is it that we're the only "immoral" group of people not allowed to get married?
Rapists can marry, providing they're straight.
Abusive men can marry women and beat the hell out of them and play mind games with them for as long as they live. And the law isn't obligated to warn the second wife if the first one gets out.
But that's OK. It's straight so it's fine.
Convicted pedophiles are allowed to marry and have children of their own.
Now please, tell me how that's better than a gay couple who love each other wanting to spend the rest of their lives together?
Tell me how it's better for a pedophile to have children than for a couple who are mentally and financially stable giving privilege and love to a child who needs it?
Makes total sense.
The only way to end this is to separate church from state once and for all. Sure there'll be a few pissy preachers out there but this is ridiculous. We need to take a look at the original set of rules and take back our freedom. We should NOT be denied any rights simply because we don't fit the molds certain people try to set for us. It's ridiculous.
We need to fight harder than we ever had while we have a president in office who might actually listen.
Fuck!

I Heart Apple Juice!
As a side note I thought I would add that I love apple juice.
In fact, if I had to choose between the unbecoming side effects of too much AJ as opposed to too much alcohol... well... I would still rather have the apple juice.
Yeah.
Chew on that.

Barack Obama...
...just got elected President. The first black man ever to be in office. It's a fucking landmark, and I'm giddy as a school-girl. Not only because there will undoubtedly be major, MAJOR improvements on so many fronts, but also because so much has been overcome to get to this point. I know that it will take much more for a woman to ever be in office, and I know that social reform is something that I'll be striving to see for my whole life. As long as there is breath in my body, there will be suffering in this world and country that hasn't been analyzed nearly as well as it should be, and people that are crying out for a voice.
I need to be that voice. We all need to be that voice.
I need to be that voice. We all need to be that voice.
Blue Stars Fading Tonight...
So I voted today!!! I'm fucking excited. I feel like such a part of things. And at the same time I have this nervous lump in the pit of my stomach. I swear, if my man Obama doesn't make it in I'm seriously going to cry. Or vomit. Or an uncomely combination of the two. I wish that I didn't have to be so worried about it, but there's no way not to worry. Another 4 years of being jobless and without health insurance might seriously kill me. No joke. I could totally freaking die.
And another thing- I have had this insane fear of automobiles for the majority of my life. It's a hindering phobia, preventing me from ever getting my license and today I finally uncovered the root of it all. My aunt revealed to me that a certain irresponsible grandparent of mine that shall remain nameless (as though it mattered, I don't know anyone on here anyway but eh, you never know...) allowed me to lock myself in her car at a gas station as a very young child and I didn't know how to unlock the doors and a.) let her in or b.) escape the ominous death-trap. Knowing me I was more anxious to do the latter. But now I understand a few of my fears and can hope to overcome them now! I had a flashback as I wrote about it and so my claustrophobia and constant need to be aware of all things around me (there's a word for that I can't think of right now, probably because I just learned it like a week ago and haven't absorbed it yet...) have a root! Yay! I'm not just some freak who picks random things to fear, my fears are founded! So now I know I'm more rational than a conservative republican homophobe. Go me!!!

Someday this will be of yore, haha...
Today is the first day of the rest of your lives. How many times is that stupid quote going to circle my head? Why do I wanna spend time thinking about how I'm going to spend the rest of my life when I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow? Well, technically since I count tomorrow as the time span between the time I wake up once I fall asleep and the time I deem worthy to finally fall asleep again, I will be voting tomorrow. For the first time ever! I'm pumped, thank you Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Without you, my opinion would mean nothing...
Anyway, I just wanted to mention that.
I'm so excited though. It's like this mounting bubble of anticipation.
I'm voting!
I'm going to make a difference!
If Obama wins, I will have consciously contributed to making the country I live in a better place. And god knows we need all the help we can get, right? I mean jesus..............
It would have been nice on feminist standards if I could vote for a woman, but even so, any change from the typical republican "god-sent" right-wing conservative is a step in the right direction...
And isn't it wonderful that by typing that I almost fear in the back of my head that I shouldn't be-like big brother is somehow gonna get the memo and get me while I sleep? I mean, I may just be paranoid but who's to say that I'm actually free to have my own opinion on the matter when I can't even get married in a church that would be ready and willing to perform the services, except for the fact that the government isn't giving the f*cking go-ahead? How the hell does THAT make sense? You let me know and I'll thank you.
And another thing that makes me mad is all the people who are actually voting republican again after experiencing first-hand all the misery we've been sharing for the past 8 years. Isn't that enough? You want more proof that you're f*cking morons? Well then go ahead, force the people who actually understand the debated to suffer for your ignorance. You know what we need? Stat? A t.v. station- "Politics for dummies" where all the issues are broken down into 1st grade level sentences that even f*cking george dubblyuh would understand. I swear to god... Someone like an unbiased Mr. Rogers making sense of all those big words the ignorant conservative people are too lazy to f*cking google, and maybe even pushing the idea that all people are really people, no matter what they look like or believe. I mean, isn't that the point of all the stories you were read as a child, assuming you attended a public school... that's another thing we need... more emphasis on ethics from grade one... there's nothing we're going to do about that though, who wants our tax dollars going to acceptance and compassion when we can spend it on guns to kill the "diaper heads", right?
grrrrr.........
I wish I had more power. Things have so much unmet potential for good.
