"I don't know why I love you but I do." - Clarence Henry
I've been storing alot of angst and animosity in my heart for quite a long time now and I'm finally gonna get it all off of my chest. I'm tired of the charades that every single compartment of my life seems to keep playing on me. It's ridiculous. Truth be told, my life as of the last several months, could be summed up the exact same way that Bret Hart summed up his wrongful loss thanks to Stone Cold's interference in a steel cage match back in '97.
Vince McMahon: "Bret, you must be frustrated."
[Bret Shoves Vince To The Mat]
Bret Hart: "Frustrated isn't the goddamn word for it! This is bullshit!!!"
Yes. And 'bullshit' is exactly what I've been treated like for some time now. Especially by the very government who's supposed to work for me. President Kennedy once famously said that an individual should not ask "what your country can do for you," but rather that one should ask themselves, internally, what they "could do for [their] country". Well, to that, I say bullshit. Kennedy was a great President and an even better man, sure, but he never had to deal with obnoxious city workers that disrespected him and attempted to assassinate his pride when circumstances conspired against him to the point where he had to apply for temporary assistance that he was entitled to anyway given the fact that he'd paid taxes into the system to begin with.
And given my lucrative youth, I find it interesting that the same system that's treated me that way is the same exact same one that's routinely asked me to join their armed forces in hopes that I'd disrespect other poor folks the same way they've disrespected me at every turn. And what would be the incentive? To come back home where the police would call me a nigger and harass me for absolutely no reason at all, as they've already done plenty of times before all my life? Get real.
