: 
: we saw something beautiful and free
: and we wanted to celebrate it
: but we despised it
: because we could not contain it
: could not control it, could not see it for what it was
: this is how we became divided
: this is where we took our fall
: our own hearts divided against themselves
: we wanted to acknowledge it
: but we recoiled from it
: called it something else
: it was more than a mistake
: it was a settling for something less than noble
: it was a sinking into comfortable chairs and beds
: while Rome was burning
: while Europe was burning
: while America was burning
: while the cosmos was burning
: so we could preserve our little rules
: our narrow codes and narrow roads
: so we could guard the crossroads with our remotes
: overseeing all the channels and paths
: ruling over all our little colonies
: in the name of something beautiful and free
: we destroyed beauty and enslaved
: all in the name of our great vision
: all in the name of our pampered asses
: sitting stupidly on all our plush little thrones
: Bill 08/03
wow
