Boom Boom Nightmare Day

.is what most pets will call it.

cats call it boom boom

nightmare day

238.9 years ago

it started

on the words of a bunch of rich white wine snobs

racists, bigots, and anarchists tired of paying taxes

to the british

though content with stealing from indians

and building an empire on slave labor

　

("all men are created equal")

　

from this (lie)

now we have what dogs call

boom boom nightmare day

full of

beautiful pictures and sounds

to further arouse the rabble

and terrify the natural world

238.9 years and counting

so it goes

Things are supposed to be better now, but people have a hard time putting differences aside and lack the love and forgiveness in their hearts. I know not all people of whatever race is bad because one person did something wrong like example, I'm Asian and another Asian is in a car crash, so Asians are bad drivers, but not true. I'm a decent driver myself, it that example makes sense. It is sad that so many people are divided today and despite attempts to improve that strife. Your poem has that resonance with what I interpreted.

[Davidgeo]

Maybe so... but you're Asian so, how do you know what a good driver is to begin with?

[Davidgeo]

On the real though... The trend is sometimes positive, you are not wrong in every case. My view makes for a better poem anyway. arf.

[GalaxyGhost]

Being careful and obeying the rules obviously. Just making an example to prove my case that just because one person does a horrible thing does not mean the rest are like that. If that makes things clearer.

[GalaxyGhost]

But I'm not trying to debate here about what good driving is. I'm trying to add to what has been said and I think your poem is an amazing poem that makes people think.

[Davidgeo]

I will keep you in mind and be careful when I can. Thank you for reading me... I do appreciate it.

[Davidgeo]

I just like busting balls is all.

[GalaxyGhost]

Yeah, I do like discussing topics like this as they are interesting. The poem is quite courageous in its own way. I'm glad you can bring up subjects like that.

[Davidgeo]

You should try it yourself. It's easy writing.

I really do hate when people hate each other. Cuz of different skin colour or what country they are from.

"A Perfect Circle" is probably my favorite band of Maynard James Keenan's! Anyway, "America home of the free," right...

[Davidgeo]

ha, and the brave.... It may not seem like it but I really do love this country with every part of me.

[MeratheRestless]

Keep refining this, you are on your way.

[Davidgeo]

To where? Where am I headed?
