4.15.13 boston.iraq


today in boston
was like any other day in iraq
in fact the same day in iraq
was today in boston
but exponentially worse

middle /east
 north /east

weekly bombings

we are lucky our citizens are shit at bomb making
(don't mention drones)(back off obummer)

shit
today was bad

sectarian violence
well, we think mohammed did this
and they think he did that
we should kill each other

all fingers point domestically
tax day
yahoo defines false flag attacks
and gets it in on conspiracy theorists

suspect wearing hood; spotted near garbage bins; suburban apt complex raided

organized groups of people; reacting to enforced democracy; days before the beginning
series of car bombs killing 55
fourteen candidates killed

today in boston
was like any other day in iraq
in fact the same day in iraq
was today in boston
but exponentially worse

  1. I like that you drew parallels between incident at the Boston Marathon and the Middle East. The truth is that type of violence emerges in some form or another daily yet here, when an explosion goes off, it has more of an impact because to some extent, we're removed from violence in that context in our daily lives. It makes me appreciate my Life, but disheartens me because I feel that many of us, living in the First World are so wrapped up in our micro existences that we forget (rather ignore) the famines, the violence, the injustices, shoeless children, race and religious-centered atrocities that occur daily. Insightful.

  2. Thank you for you insights. I have been writing non stop and it's always nice to hear feedback instead of typing into the void. part of this text was directly lifted from a chat i was having with a friend who is ex marine. i just woke up and wish i had something better to say. i appreciate you taking the time to read my blog.
