Guilt . . .

If there's guilt in your conscience
Perhaps you should think
Did you really do all
That you could?

Did you cover all ground
From the middle to brink
Did you serve the right purpose
That you should?

Or maybe the good
Was just too good to miss
You may well have been selfish
Fearing losing your bliss

And indignant you blustered
Full defending your place
At the height of your privilege

We all surveyed your face
With its alternate smirks,
Grimaces and tears
Leaving us to wonder
What precisely were your fears?

But now its quite clear
That you joined the right club
Those many long years ago
Your position's protected
You have gained your desire
Now your whim and your membership
Join the list of MY fears

Know . . .

. . . your enemy . . .


(from http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/)
". . . The Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), follows a distinctive variety of Islam whose beliefs about the path to the Day of Judgment matter to its strategy, and can help the West know its enemy and predict its behavior. Its rise to power is less like the triumph of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (a group whose leaders the Islamic State considers apostates) than like the realization of a dystopian alternate reality in which David Koresh or Jim Jones survived to wield absolute power over not just a few hundred people, but some 8 million.

We have misunderstood the nature of the Islamic State in at least two ways. First, we tend to see jihadism as monolithic, and to apply the logic of al‑Qaeda to an organization that has decisively eclipsed it. The Islamic State supporters I spoke with still refer to Osama bin Laden as “Sheikh Osama,” a title of honor. But jihadism has evolved since al-Qaeda’s heyday, from about 1998 to 2003, and many jihadists disdain the group’s priorities and current leadership. . . "

Out of the mouths. . .

 . . . of babes. . .

We will reap just what we sow.  Unless we see drastic change in the NRA and improve our good judgement, we will reap more and more of this. . .

An 11-year-old sixth-grade student in Utah is in police custody after he was accused of bringing a gun to school because he wanted to protect himself in the event of a school shooting.  He wanted to defend himself if there was an incident similar to what happened in Newtown, CT.  

Some witnesses claim the boy brandished the gun on the playground and pointed it at another child's head and others said the boy verbally threatened another student with the gun. Police have not yet been able to confirm these accounts.

The boy also had ammunition, although the gun was not loaded and it was not immediately clear whether the bullets were the appropriate ammunition for the gun which he obtained from an extended family member who moved out of the family’s house last week. He was suspended from the school, will probably face severe criminal penalties and will never be allowed back into the traditional school setting.

It's fast becoming. . .

. . . my conviction that truth is really so much stranger than fiction.
Is that the way it ought to be ?
It's not my eyes that do the seeking. Even a blind man sees agenda we're keeping.
Is that the way it ought to be?
I never thought I'd be looking behind like I do. Not quite sure just what I'll see.
But I'm rarely surprised by the antics of many; surprised by the antics of few.

It's one thing that they never mentioned. Back in my school was only so much convention.
Is that the way it ought to be?
And now we find it's what we're teaching. We're all conditioned. See the numbers we're reaching?
Is that the way it ought to be?
How can we say there's a god in his heaven above watching, directing with love?
And while on bended knee, we proceed to make judgement on things that we don't like to see.

It's fast becoming my conviction that truth is really so much stranger than ficion.
