Tis me birthday.... i am now 24... heres a poem for you ive been writing abit..

Angels Dance


The souls glide
Like papyrus leaves
Dried out for spiritual rights
Burning in the furnace
Of industry
There is no count now
No stock
No market
Numbers too large
To comprehend
Bank accounts have human slaves
Bound to political ideals
Infants in the sand pit
Who still believe in ownership
In the deep chasm of time
Left chases right
And right chases left
The snake that bites it own tail
We suck down cans of coke
Addicted to the passing of time
Laying blame to one another
Smoke stacks and butterflies
The earth trembles
Trying to projectile vomit humanity
From its lungs
Like late night lovers
On the cusp of adulthood
Drinking and dreaming and drowning out
The socialists scream
The capitalists rage
Humanity draws an inward breath
Sitting at the feet of faded civilisations
Thinking of immortality
Trying to pin down
What was once noble about America
Or Rome
Caesar smokes a cigarette
And posts on facebook
That the faded dreams of the industrial era
Are dying a slow death
And the angels dance on the bodies
Of humanity
Lamenting freedom
And we still dont know how to be together

i wrote this because i was abit frustrated with the constant bickering between right and left wing... conservative and liberal left..... or fiscal liberal.. and labour (in australia)... i am abit of a centerist... i can see the benefits of capitilism... but i do think it needs some regulation.. i can also see the benefits of taxes and government health care...

just having a dinner with close family tonight.. not really doing anything for my birthday this year.. i always get weird on my birthdays and around this time of year anyway...

i have been anti depressant free for 3 weeks now... i still get abit of the jimmy jakes.. and im way more emotional like when i turn on the news... but otherwise im ok... i feel like the meds have robbed me of a natural response. like instead of learning the natural way to cope with being an intense emotional and sometimes negative person, theyve just blocked all of it out. im sure they give people (including me) the necessary break if your completely out of sorts... but now im looking into the alternatives to psych meds..

one good thing about more emotion is more creativity...

love you all... this has been my birthday blog...
