Of A Lesser God...

The message is all too clear and it has been that way for 20 years now...since 1990 until today...

We have been treated not like slaves, but like subhuman specimens...for 20 fucking years.

It don't matter the pictures, words, articles, data, facts...it don't matter...it never fucking mattered...

Thousands of us have died...THOUSANDS reaching MILLIONS and it never mattered...
Our children did not matter, our women did not matter, our elderly did not matter, our men did not matter...

Oh but you fucking matter...for sure. Everything about your life matters...every single aspect of it...you wake up with PMS, PTSD, OCD, GAD, whatever it is...it matters...

The Oscars, the celebrities, the sports, the junk food -- the export of "culture", that all matters....

Your lives, your homes, your parents, your children, your health, your wealth...all that matters...and everyone, every single fucking being on this globe is supposed to empathize with you, understand you, feel with you, with your crisis, with your unemployment, with your disease, with your economic crash, with your homeless, with your dead and dying...every single one...

You are truly the belly button of the universe and what an ugly navel it is...

But I tell you something...you don't matter to me, not one bit....none of your stories, whatever they are, matter to me...

Your lives, your homes, your children, your parents, your dead are not more precious, nor are they purer, nor are they holier, nor are they more sacred....not at all...

You don't matter to me, not one bit....none of you...

For over 20 years we have been treated like creatures of a lesser God, and this is exactly how I see you today, exactly the way you treated us...

Endless Beginnings...

For God's sake, tell me where to begin? I was set out to write about Father's day and the thousands of fatherless Iraqi children.The thousands of killed fathers, the thousands of fathers trying desperately hard to feed their families, daily putting their lives at great risk, in a country gripped by demonic violence. The exiled fathers, selling scraps in Amman and Damascus, bearing the brunt of daily insults. Or the unemployed fathers, feeling torn inside watching their kids go hungry. Or maybe the head bent down father, slouched posture, hiding scars beneath a worn out shirt. The father that has been imprisoned, humiliated, tortured and sodomized, unable to look his children in the eyes... Or maybe I should write about sexual torture and sodomy instead... The further horrors emerging from Abu Ghraib and the Taguba report... More reports of "abuse". And I am sure Abu Ghraib is not over. I am certain that more Abu Ghraibs are taking place in Iraq, in those shadowy deten

Why ?

Yes why? What for? What does it say about you? What does it say about your countries? What does it say about your institutions? What does it say about your governments, your "culture", your "civilization", your history, your "progress", your "values", your concepts...? Have you ever stopped and pondered these questions? Have you ever stopped and asked yourselves ; how come? How come we are so advanced, how come we are so democratic, how come we are so great, how come we are so free...And how come we allow so much murder, oppression, abuse, go unaccounted for ? Have you ever asked yourself this question ? I was just listening to the BBC World radio. A report from Oxfam - and in your eyes that makes it credible - over 70 % of us Iraqis, no longer have access to clean drinking water. I say no longer have because I remember not so long ago, one could turn on the tap and drink. As simple as that. The report goes on to say that over 50% of Iraqis are u

Not so Kind...

Image
I am very pissed. I do not have many kind words towards my fellow Iraqis. Let me qualify here, before you start jumping to conclusions. I have no kind words towards that category of Iraqis who gave it away for Free to the Americans and the Iranians. I have absolutely no respect for them, no consideration and zero sympathy. I have zero respect for those bastards living and working in the Green zone. I have total disdain for those who voted and now come meagerly complain about "lack of the promised democracy"..."but we voted" broken record. Sure you voted. You voted for your sects and your wallets. I have absolutely no sympathy for those who applauded and filled their blogs with hurrays "Saddam is gone" and now cry over poor Iraq...and congratulate themselves with cheap words of sympathy coming from the occupier. It took a bunch of your kind to make it happen. Now you have lost it all. I do not want to be too cruel and say you deserve what you are getting be
