"The tyrant has fallen!"

I believe those words, uttered at the hanging of Saddam, gives some gravity and depth to what happened.

excerpt from knights of cydonia by muse

No one's gonna take me alive,
The time has come to make things right,
You and I must fight for our rights,
You and I must fight to survive,

No one's gonna take me alive,
The time has come to make things right,
You and I must fight for our rights,
You and I must fight to survive

Damn. with a royal capital "D"
Why was/has this word become something to be taken seriously? offensive?
Is it possible because it actually DOES something?
That to damn something, actually does that- "damn" it?
Because if it does, then I rightfully, righteously would damn the disease dubbed under the name of cancer.
I hate cancer because it has brought destruction to everything I see it touch.
I hope that cancer will become erradicated from society and not touch humanity. I was about to say innocent, but who knows who is innocent, we are all guilty of something or another, who can sift through and pinpoint what random cause and result domino affect was started by what sin.

I wish I could damn something, in fact I did, in writing. But I erased it.
Should I be doing something I am ignorant of.
Instead I counter curses with blessings.
I bless all those who are cursed, and I ask that the Lord G-d of Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus set free all those who are bound by the chains of sickness and meaningless of cancer. They have suffered, suffered, suffered.
I pray a blessings upon their soul and bodies that G-d may lavish on them healing and comfort.
I will this to come to pass in the name of Christ Jesus.

Const(ant)ellation

Yes, Pegasus. Myths remember your name,
-the kick in your hooves, and wind in your mane.
Your radiant wings, and silvery hide,
Your galloping soar with spectacular stride.
Myths remember your days of living and flying,
we immortalize you with our stars and our writing

NO!
NO!
NO!

I'm going through shock right now...a little bit of denial and a little bit of immense dissapointment in myself.
I worked for this grade, I worked hard. I did what was required, I tried my best.

God knows what He's doing, if He's doing anything at all.
I can't ...comprehend why!? I got this grade...I can't change it or anything...how..what...what

Oh songbird, songbird, will she love me? will she care? Fly so far for me, fly on air...

Hummingbird

floating with flitter
drink nectar sweet
from tubas and horns
from brass instruments pink

fast wings keep rhythm
with fast silent singing
performing with pulse
of theatrical dancing

feathers violently red
shimmer in flight
beneath colored shade
reflecting the light

a bearer of fire
of heaven's winged hues
deaf vision of lyre
heaven's meek Muse
