Silver Hair
so,
how important is it,
media fear mongers of the world,
that Julian Assange has
“silver hair”---
you seem to include it in every
description of what is happening
to him,
what he has done in his life thus
far &
somehow you squeeze it into
every possible story
that has anything to do with him---
WE
****ING
GET
IT.
if the man had been born with a
dreamy
Johnny Depp dark brown,
would he still be depicted as some
kind of crazy madman character
from a blockbuster that comes out
in the summer,
bearing the need for some hero to come &
wipe the world clean of him?
maybe if he had
passionate
David Caruso red & a pair of Ray Bans
always on,
he’d be seen as a tough coppish type who
never takes off his suit jacket,
no matter how hot it is in Miami &
the world would fall in love with him
every time they see his picture?
we are talking about a man who has
dealt a wonderful blow into the stomach
of the policeman who runs the world,
someone who’s organization continues to
allow whistleblowers to expose vital truths
in a world full of lies &
all that you can find worthy of description is
the man’s
silver hair?
