Poem
dear friend, my fear for you, is that you are filled with a fire in your belly & that out of anger at seeing the bull*****that is going on around you, you have felt the need for a while to try & change things for the better--- while this is most certainly an admirable trait for anyone to hold, the idea that you are limited to the channels which the powers that be offer you on a platter, is one that if you let it, will inevitably corrupt you & destroy all the genuine “goodness,” if i might be so bold, which you have inside you--- i speak to you with this in mind due to the intimate nature of a personal friendship, which has spanned a few years, during which the both of us have shared many a conversation on the nature of the world, the so-called political structure that this empire wields & philosophy in general. there are other ways of using the energy which you have exemplified to me personally, a thousand times over--- history has shown you in all the books you have read & from the mouths of all those whom you admire that have never been disfigured by the american political process, that there is a plethora of inspirational women & men, who have been committed to the betterment of our people & the human species in totality, that have never even pondered the aspirations of power that would lead someone to offer up their hands to the bloodying, dirtying & tying, which shows itself to be essential for the climbing of that fateful ladder, here in the belly of the empire. rather than spend weeks & months thinking about the most “appropriate” way to express your concerns about this world & the country in which you live, DO SOMETHING NOW--- it’s ok! nobody is going to hold it against you--- nobody worth anything, that is. with all the sincerity i can muster, -delapruch
