Will You Ever Change?

I knew it in my gut, that Bush was going to sit where he is, for a long time. So I won in our Bush Or Kerry Bet. I'm sorry about that. I like to win when I bet, but this time I really hoped I would lose.

I find it hard to believe that most Americans actually voted for him. He haven't done anything great while in his position, instead he staged a war that have killed more people, than the attack on USA in 2001. A war that is still going on today.

I do believe that there are people who would do just about anything, to keep such a man in power. If they are crazy enough to think that God will bless a certain specific country, whenever they tell him to, they are a lot closer to God than I would ever like to be. And in that case, it's no doubt about that they see themselves to be superior. When you start to think that you are better than other people, you will probably also make sure, that you always talk louder than everybody else. You will make sure that you get everything, you think you deserve.

If I was an American today, I would be very confused about the elections. Very confused. Because before and after, you can read about voting machines that didn't really work, votes that wasn't really counted and votes that were stolen. And a huge Mafia pizza house that lured people away from the voting, with free Hash pizzas for everyone, especially for the Hippies. And Hippies have never been prone to refuse a good Hash pizza, not if their life depended on it. And the Information Clearing House guy wouldn't even try to vote, not my American grandmother either. I knew there was a dark road behind the tunnel. Promises are only promises.

And as I'm a very sceptic person, I easily fear that the voting results were tampered with. I don't say this because I don't like to think that Bush, could have been chosen by the people. I say this because I do find it hard to believe, that the majority wanted him. And because a lot of political figures are very sneaky in their expressions, I don't doubt that they are very sneaky in their traditions as well.

Anyway, he's going to sit there, whether he was picked or not. And yesterday the bombs were raining over Fallujah and I realised that a small baby face, can make all sorts of strange expressions and I also noticed that there are no leaves on the trees anymore. And I felt that there's are a lot of things I miss out on... Things I don't want to encounter, things I wish I had payed more attention to and those things that have passed me by... Life is strange that way... All I want to do is live in the moment and be able to dare to live more... But I read way too many newspapers and waste way too many days on my own head...

To those that doesn't support Bush; time will show everyone, that we were right.

And to those that support the war in Iraq; If your cause is good? When is it good? Who are you to decide, that your cause is better than theirs? If so, is it right to sacrifice a childs life for this cause? Would you sacrifice your own child? Will you think about this child that were killed, or will you forget it? Do you want to know the face of this child? The name? With your bombs, can you make it right? Can you justify it with your words? Will you ever change?... And do yourself a favour this time and answer yourself instead, for once, not me.
