This was found on a bathroom wall somewhere in the U.S.A....
"You've taken over my mind. You've raped my thoughts with your image viruses then sold me fake cures for your own disease. Your words and pictures scream orders at me like angry prison wardens. When I cover my ears, your voices echo in my head. I hate you. When I see your billboards, your talk shows, your rock concerts and your factories, when I see the work of your twisted libidos, I want to kill you. I want to set fires, plant bombs, derail trains. I want to smash your buildings and tear at your bodies until the skin of my hands is worn to the bone. I am filled with a rage that burns my eyes.
I don't want to feel this way. You have done this to me. These feelings are the fruits of your multi-billion dollar sowing. And I am not alone. There are others like me out here. Every suicide, every madman, every man and woman who gets a gun and just starts shooting -- these are your illegitimate children. They don't all know what they are doing. All they know is hate for the invisible walls which you have raised around them, hate for the narrow path you have tried to make them walk. And the innocent pay in blood for your negligence.
Remember this: My mind is big. The more you try to push me down and make me small, the greater the pressure inside me becomes. The greater the pressure, the greater the chance of an explosion. There was once a time when I felt love, but now I feel only hate and anger, and fear at what I might do. And you can tell me to "BE HAPPY," but I know that you really mean "BE QUIET".
Believe me, I want to be happy. You stand in my way."
Very powerful words this potty poet left us…I shake with the truth in them.

I love your blog..it has so much depth and meaning. *hugs*
This was on a bathroom wall?
ReplyDeleteNot that the sentiments are totally lost on me, but I just can't shake the image out of my mind of someone in a stall writing this all out. That had to have taken a long time!
You're partly to blame, you know, providing the image below.

ReplyDeletethat was very powerful, I would have had to copy that one too.
ReplyDeleteso much creative buzz here! chance of color too! interesting.
On your saturday, march 25th post you mentioned how lucky you were to have lured a few permanent readers to your page (I hope to be as fortunate some day!)... Well, you have lured one more. Besides being well written and interesting, it is the most complete page I have seen to date. For that, kudos! Or should I say, meus parabéns, de brazuca pra brazuca! hehe
ReplyDeleteNow, in regards to your "bathroom wall" post, it´s safe to say that the author puts into writing, and in a most concise manner, what many of us are afraid to even think. Congrats to him/her and to you for reproducing it! Cheers
