Comfortably numb.......

I am so fucked off right now. I work my ass off, i think i'm a decent person, look out for my friends and family, generally care about peoples well being and the world we live in. I don't ask for much.

I hate that our country is so fucked up right now. We have billions of dollars to spend on the 'war on terror' :rolleyes:, billions of dollars to bail out the banks, billions of dollars to waste on all the other stupid things our government does and yet basic rights like proper and timely health care are not always available. Our whole health system is a complete and utter fucken mess. People die because our system is a shambles. It's a disgrace. I'm starting to think we are so fucked up the ass that nothing will fix this mess we are in because the people at the top just do not care.

Get your priorities straight Mr President. Look after your people FIRST.

We hope and pray that the dream is not yet gone, and that Americans get a fleeting glimpse of our former glory and greatness, and that they wake up and stop allowing these scum-bags to have their way with them.

RIP Richard Wright


Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

  • Totally agree with you.. it is amazingly frustrating how fucked up the priorities are right now for this country and the thing that is more equally mind-fuckish is that we might just have 4-12 more years of this horseshit because citizens are scared to vote for a qualified black man who shows he can really change how we are as a country and as a society..

    I have friends who live in other countries and I hear how their government is and how great they have things.. and I USED to think that about this country.. but do not anymore..

    I wish I had the link to the original incarnation of the Message Pit because in 2000 on election night I posted EXCATLY what the next 4-8 years would be like under Bush.. I painted quite a scary picture.. and the truth is THE REALITY HAS BEEN EVEN WORST.
