Dear Diary,
I hope Rookie can hold on and wait things out.
Maybe a general problem of the present day is that so many of us know so much about so many horrible things that we can't do much about.
Well, if we didn't know about them, they would probably still happen.
On the other side, maybe that so many of us do know about such things does help to apply the brakes to some extent.
However, I, too, wish I could help people all around the planet.
It could be that we can wonder what is wrong with people and never figure it out.
Why not be an otaku on a quiet street in a crazy world?
In Japan the snow is falling -- I can see it from my window.
dear diary,
how can i express outrage for the acts of humans?
when one man shoots at another man,
how does my disbelief counteract the insanity?
when humans dig and burn and destroy, what cause have i to weep?
when an elected politician decrees that one person is less than another,
how does my disgust register at all?
no, dear diary, my focus must be on the Absolute
the Purity unstained by human foible
The One with no Name, save for all The Names
humans are merely a passing plague
a single blink blurred by a mucous tear
HA! and dear diary, i am but one heartbeat amongst many!
humans so intent on a personal agenda,
not realizing the power they could wield
lol
The Supreme Entity does not notice humans
i am both sad, and grateful
@rookie54 saidI fear passing aliens would think very poorly of us and continue quietly on their way.

dear diary,
the internet has been peeking
America is a Gun
England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short squat olive tree.
America is a gun.
Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.
Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.
Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.
