November 2007
Hope.Change.
The dream of a better way embodied in a political figure.
Through the lifetime of my political awareness (if you will) I have seen a succession of candidates who have given me
a sense of purpose and empowerment.
Looking at them
Imagining them
I have felt more alive
Proud
Ashamed of dreaming little dreams.
For that brief moment of Obama's victory I felt it.
lightly.
The after-image of something more substantial.
Brighter.
Now
Nothing.
Or nearly nothing.
-------------------
This incredible country.
This dream of humanity.
Are it's causes "fear/less"
Flat anecdotes
Ironic
People are still dying because no one cares.
People are still killing for reasons so imbedded in their nature and reasoning as if given by god.
The elderly are regarded as expendable.
America is becoming a place of smooth retirement.
We're in a coma.
Sedated
