November 9th 2006 Edmonton Alberta Canada(Time Capsule Poem)

Whats in the news today and how much snow is on the ground they say in the paper there is 2 600 homeless people in my home city but word of mouth and the people who work in the centers estimate its more like 5000 so I ask is this a protest of a country who has been lied to who was led to a war that did not concern them? who demands to have their own backyard of chemical warfares cleaned up? Is this a protest against war of I'll never pay taxes but I'll humble my own country turning innocent men into serial killers who join the smuftee killing patriots levelling a country flat firing machine guns at innocent men listening to dance music not to mention the reports of raped thirteen year olds and arson and parents being forced to witness the whole thing before being executed So I ask wanna know about terrorism as winter approaches and you know soon you're gonna be walking amongst streets of frozen corpses because there is nowhere left for them to go and the soldiers join forces with some other country who feeds you lies through the television and then your own backyard says were going in to peace keep and the truth surfaces that yes it is an all out war and we've been lieing all along 5000 homeless a protest? a government abnormality of one city? terrorism of chemical warfare and we're told some government across the ocean can't handle their own nightmare of terror and assassins so we have to go in to attack them even though 9-11 under rug swept from years ago through our books of lies was an event they catapulted unto somebody else!!! 5000 homeless are we under attack? Is that why no ones worried about the seial killings of hookers turning up in fields anymore that farmers keep reporting? Is taht why every neighborhood is swarmed with druglords and junkies? and the prison that houses 300 has more than 700 people in it? and all i see in my head are frozen corpses and now i'm wondering do the professionals im amongst helping me through this rough patch are they on medication too? did we point the finger in the wrong way? Is it US or them and what does that have to do with the price of tea in china ask the British? but what does my underground know of saints divine intervention and methods to madness?
