Footsteps (A poem)

Walking down the street that night
I couldn't help but listen
to my footsteps echoing in the cold night air
Coming from tea with a friend I found another friend
Walking down the street we wondered
About greater things to come.
As I walked away from my friend and those thoughts
I moved Westward toward my home
I watched the branches of the trees above
Scrape the dark night sky
And above that still the stars hung clearly
Reminding me that my greater things were still so tiny.
As I shut the night out, closing the door behind me
All that was left was silence

In Communist Russia, We Pretend to Work, and Yor Pretend to Pay Us!

Yeah, I've got nothing.
Life Sucks.
Especially when you live in communist Russia.

A Small Rant

So I was reading the news on cbc.ca and I came across this gem, on what I can only assume is A politician trying to get himself killed. The Story entitled "Iranian Government Urges Netherlands to Ban Qur'an film. " Basically, the Iranian government is trying to disuade the Dutch government from allowing a film, shot by a Dutch Politician, which insinuates that the Qur'an incites its followers to commit murder, from being shown in Dutch Movie theaters. This incident is strangely reminiscent of an incident involving Dutch Politician and Film maker, Theo Van Gogh about four years ago. Van Gogh was murdered after he created a similar documentary which criticized Islam. For those of you who are not as familiar with the Netherlands as I am, the Netherlands has a fairly high Muslim population who suffer as a result of repressive immigration law. You would think that at least its politicians would be able to restrain themselves from continually dragging part of their population who contribute a sizeable amount to their economy through the mud. Well that's my moment of disbelief for the day. I guess it's just an indication the Dutch and their immigrants will continue a cycle of intolerance towards each other in a self-fulfilling prophecy of hate and misunderstanding.
