Raven in Green again..

nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME

I'm in my favorite coffeeshop right now and there is this pretentious woman talking so loud and I cant' enjoy my book, and it's pissing me off. but I suppose I can do the entry I was thinking about as I walked here.

On my way here I saw a Kerry/Edwards sign taped to the back of a parking lot sign...and they made me happy.

I have a kerry/edwards button on my bag and a sign in my card. Someone who lives on my block as a kerry/edwards bumper sticker.

I've driven around town and seen Kerry/Edward's signs in lawns.

It makes me happy.

The media is making the election seem like it is really tight, and really close...telling us how Bush is in the lead.....I don't trust polls. I don't know who they are polling...but I hope that they are missing all the newly regestered people.

People were registering in record numbers, making sure they were registered in time.

Now a friend of mine told me that the numbers of people who register and the numbers of people who actually vote are often quite different,...but something tells me that this year is different,...I don't think someone would be so desprate about registering in time and not vote.

Also....this is entirely curcumstancial but....I can't believe that there are so many people so happy with the the Bush administration and are so afraid that he won't be re-elected that they are rushing out in record numbers to register. That just doesn't make sense to me.

But I'm happy to see so many kerry/edwards things around town becausme as much as it pains me to admit it....I live in a red state. I live in a state were all my red friends tell me my vote is useless. But I see the signs and I have hope. Our city Bitchslapped the republicans last November. ...I mean....almost everyone who won was a democrat....and this included ousting republican incombants. I'm hoping that will be something that happens the the up and coming. ...And I'm hoping it is something that happens state wide as well as nation wide.

I am so terrified that Bush is going to be re-elected. Terrified!!! I can't handled another 4 years of this administration...and I really don't think the country or the world can....and I am so afraid of what he's going to do in the next 4.

Marty keeps telling me over and over that the gov't is a system of checks and balances and they are going to keep him in check...and he won't be able to over turn roe v wade....but really I am Deathly afraid.

When I found out a few months ago that Becky wasn't registered, ...I was so shock....and I dragged her ass out of bed before the deadline to make sure she was registered. She had been meaning to do it...but her lazy ass would never get up in time to do it....and finally I put my foot down..harassed her until she got out of bed and we walked down to the democratic headquarters and got her registered. I think I might have to do the same thing on election day...I'm not letting that girl sleep in to the point where she doesn't have time to vote before the polls close or she has to go to work.

I have voted in every election since I turned 18. I don't understand the mind set of those who don't.

Anyway, the lady seems to have quieted down.....some I want to get back to my book.
