| 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 --Wurdz by Otep Shamaya |
  Jerico is myth.January 27, 2003 11:40 a.m. Related Reading I just got in a pretty intense debate in my Logic class. The prof made some comment about Jerico being a myth....which sent alot of people up in arms. ...and by using folklore (God Bless Dr. Kelley) I did (or so I think) a better job of defending the prof's position than he did. I was saying that whether or not Jerico is true ....or whether or not it actually happened...the story of it went into oral tradition and therefore made it a myth...and that someone sometime wrote it down. And idea of our taking it as fact would be just like taking the story of the stolen kidney, or Tanning bed deaths, or the roommate's death...or the dog in the microwave (take your pick).....and taking it as fact. There are even to this day hear things like this and are convince they are true. The one that specificly comes to mind is the story of the girl insterting a hot dog into her vigina and getting it stuck. It seems lately that EVERYONE swears up and down that there was a girl at their school that had this happen. I've had countless conversations with people telling them over and over that it is an urban legend....but they will hear none of it. My point being that it is almost inconceivable ("you keep using that word....I do not think it means what you think it means") to believe that we are the only culture that has these urban myths. And around this time the prof brought up Homer and how the Oddessy is just a collection of myths as well. This one guy was getting upset with the idea of trying to use science to explain Christianity....he said this right as he was leaving....and I was like ...Um...no it's not. I don't see how the two are realated. It has nothing to do with Christianity...it's acknowleging that the Old Testiment is mainly parables and myths. Stories that went into oral tradition and were written down. Anyway....that's my rant for the moment. I know that if I continue now the entry will never end. I'm off for lunch and class. |
