Everything I felt
I knew
This will be the last
I see in you
Can I get me back now?
Because I'm not who I am right now...

Poverty
I know I don't believe in intervention from other countries.
But this is different.
Invading Iraq for oil is one thing.
Letting people in Zimbabwe suffer under the rule of Mugabe is quite another.
Inflation up 1,700%
That's just, stupid.
How can we stand by and let this happen?
It's alright when it's something that matters.
And when I say matters - I mean "effects the government economically"
But when innocent people are dying and suffering we just let it happen.
What the hell?
Some historian...might have been Goldhagen said
At least we can never let something like the Holocaust happen again.
Because we know what to look for.
Hitler said "no one remembers the Armenians"
Meaning "why should they remember the Jews?"
But we do.
If it's racial persecution, then it's wrong.
If it's letting many millions more than died in the Holocaust die...
We'll just ignore it?
What kind of world do we have?
I mean, come on! It's not like Mugabe is going to have a change of heart
Realise that he's destroying his country.
I doubt he much cares.
Because it's all about power. And money. And greed.
Just like it is for our country and the other shitty countries who only intervene when...
Oh no! They've got nuclear weapons!
But we're the only ones who are allowed nuclear weapons.
Who cares if a child dies every 15 seconds in Africa.
Who cares?
Who cares?
Who fucking cares?
But this is different.

Picture Perfect
Parts of me want to be pleased.
But I don't feel elated.
Just grounded by this.
Excited.
But knowing it'll never last.
Picture of Perfect Youth.
A Façade.
Indeed.
There are elements which I want to accept.
And others that I don't.
I'm not feeling so wise. So clever.
Not today.
There's a painted perfect picture.
Of who you think you are.
But I don't feel elated.
Just grounded by this.
Excited.
But knowing it'll never last.
Picture of Perfect Youth.

Indeed.
