Countdown

Just getting to this page was a struggle, man.
The reluctance (laziness?) was almost overwhelming,
the slightest delay magnifying the urge to just forget about it and head to bed.

But it's important that I write.
Critical, in fact.

I must use the tools available to me,
to keep them sharp.
Hell, I don't even know if they're all that sharp anymore,
or if they ever were.

Am I still able to form coherent, logical arguments?
Can I still recognize those trying to manipulate me through words?
I think so. I hope so. Though I can feel it slipping through my fingers,
like a bag filled with heavy stones.

I'll have to keep it short,
being sleepy and all.
The fact that I'm sleepy during the day most of the time does not bode well for next week,
when I start my new job.

So I'll talk about this: Gaza.

Here's the thing. There's so much information out there about who is responsible for what,
and the patterns of behaviour throughout the decades of occupation.

But I want to talk about the innocent civilians who have been massacred,
and continue to be targeted still by the fucking Zionists.

Whenever those civilians - especially children - are brought up,
it riles me whenever someone attempts to deflect the attention.
Fucking pisses me off.

When someone brings attention to such a tragedy,
and your first response is 'Yeah, but look over there at what OTHER people are doing!',
then you are severely lacking that bit called 'humanity',
and I have zero respect for you.

You are scum. One of the lowest of the low.

Not only do you disregard the loss of innocent lives,
you're trying to get others to do the same.

And that is something I will not let abide.
Be rest assured there are those who will oppose you
and the ones you support.

You can be rest assured of that, motherfucker.

Well enough of that
