How many sides do you think a galaxy has?

I thought you mumbled a whisper as I murmured my response to the conversation chatting about the speech delivered announcing the news.

God damn!
That blast sent me from here to the other side of the galaxy …

Again …

How many sides do you think a galaxy has?

Bammmm!
Lightening flashes and there’s a really strange star …

Floating around my crown …

Again, I can’t remember what it was that I just thought I said a moment ago when the voice stated that the television was talking but I acknowledge you saying that you didn’t hear what I said, sorry I wasn’t listening because the talking was becoming a din.

I thought you mumbled a whisper as I murmured my response to the conversation chatting about the speech delivered announcing the news.

Good News!

A baby is born!

Bad News!

He died …

The sad news …

No one cares to talk about it … here!

And if they do, it’s from a strange disconnected state of unawareness, of unknowing, of detachment … of distaste …

How can one little boy be the cause?

I mean really how can the memory, the story of one little lad (be he not European, American, Asian or African) make the impact and aftermath of killing in the name of peace?

It’s just a conundrum, but more so – it makes not sense unless you put it through the sieve of the sins that some humans distill their drunken dismemberment of love through – like it is the precious gold they hunger for to feed their greed …

And indeed they do make love – violence and greed!

    I used to read the chinese stars but have stopped as the readings were a tad negative and I avoid negative as much as possible
