Depressing Statistics

On the internet last night, I read that people of my orientation (asexuals)are far more likely to be clinically depressed than people of other oreintations. 33.57%! That's about one in three of us. Talk about abnormally high. That the same number of queers that depressed too. One in three! Jeez! Something needs to be done about this,NOW. I'm thinking education, maybe in schools to students. I can just picture the angry parents. (What are you teaching our kids?! To be immoral freaks!!!) I'd love to see the day when being yourself is cool. Fuck society! Who needs to be accepted by this stupid biased empire anyway! Although it would be nice to Gender Idenity Disorder removed from the dsm. It's causing people to need therapy. (yes, even when I'm being completely serious I still have throw in a joke, it's my coping mechanisim) I don't think I'll be understood in my lifetime. At the very least, even if you don't get it, I'm just asking to be respected. Is that too much to ask? Yes I suppose it is. Sigh :(

Dream on!

The dream is me, the dream is you
It embraced what was true
Dr. King laid his life to demonstrate that only peace and love triumph over greed and hate
He fought so humanity would one day be free from this stifling insanity
Died for a dream, died young
no more negro spirituals to be sung
So long as Dr. K is not forgotten he is not gone
In his memory we dream on
So one day we too, shall join hands and sing
Deep in my heart I do believe we have overcome!

Revelation

There will be no one to dig our graves
If we blow each other away
The holy land hasn't run this red with blood since Jesus and his martyrs
Another rocket launched in the Gaza Strip
No one gives a rip
You say you believe in redemption, but what if there's no one left to redeem?
Nothing anymore is what seem
No more tears left to cry
My faith long ago grew cold and died
Another one won't be supplied as long as China continues to silence its people
The hole's being dug deeper and deeper
The whole world's jumping in
You can't point out where you are on a map
But finding the nearest McDonald's a snap
If the human race is erased
Nothing will be left but a black hole in space
Pray to the Virgin Mother for forgiveness day after day
But hate your brother anyway
The truth will set you free
But only if you aren't blinded by the lies you see
Pray to the i-pod god for shiny new toys
Why do you refuse to see it's all a ploy?
Don't allow the government to break you
Or ignorance to take you
If only you fanatics understood there's no honor in martyrdom or death
Maybe you'd save your breath
The revelation can't be staved by burying the masses in unmarked graves
If we just peacefully rose against the government it would fall
They can't stop us all
You are not fit to live if you have nothing you'd be willing to die for-Dr. King

Flower

withered petals drop and fall
one whose beauty calls
its scent wafts into nostrils with remembrance of home
and its recollection fills so many dreamers dreams
shall cause the heart to leap no more
thorns who stinging prick caused much vexation
shall vex no more
bareheaded, humbled by a hoary frost
awaiting its fate in the winter of its years
awaiting Death
in all its finality
until springs rays awaken

Darkness

They bathe their streets in light
For they are afraid of the secrets of the shadows
And the darkness that clings to them
