What I Fear...

[kevyn]

 
I fear...
 ...atomic bombs...
   ...war for profit...
      ...world war three...
         ...nuclear winter...
            ...and the end of homo sapiens.

I fear...
 ...the end of oil...
   ...economic collapse...
      ...a new great depression...
         ...superfluous people...
            ...debtors prisons...
               ...and a return of slavery.

I fear...
 ...christian fundamentalists...
   ...zionistic jews...
      ...muslim extremists...
         ...patriotic americans...
            ...political zealots...
               ...and our new chinese masters.

I fear...
 ...the united states of fascism...
   ...declarations of martial law...
      ...suspension of civil liberties...
         ...no refuge in canada...
            ...blackwater gestapo...
               ...legalized torture...
                  ...summary executions...
                     ...disappearances...
                        ...and for-profit concentration camps.

And when I fear all that...
   ...is it any wonder...
      ...that dying in my sleep...
         ...of a massive heart attack...
            ...feels like a blessing...
               ...not to be feared...
                  ...but welcomed?

Many of the things that you fear are only a possibility that can only happen without opposition. There is much opposition to all these things so it won't be like that in the future.

I wish I shared yoour optimism. But I look around me in the United States and see little opposition. The American Sheeple, kept fat and happy and stupid, are still ignoring the warning signs.

The camera then pans off her face and we hear a gunshot.

I can relate, and it sounds like you can also.

I had to google that to figure out it's from a movie, Pickup on South Street. Never seen it.

tired of playing the game,
ain't it a crying shame?
I'm so tired,
God dammit I'm exhausted!"
