the words never end


i thought this one was over. remember that young girl who was kidnapped/killed/whatever in aruba? she was a generic blonde, the kind of all american girl that always generates interest and concern. well, i guess there have been some new developments in the case. some well off fool gave voice to how the finish was finalized, and now they are after him. this has my coworkers buzzing. they are concerned. they care. they are compassionate. they are outraged that this man romes free after such admissions. they want justice. they watch the shows, follow the news for new developments. for you see, this girl "could have been us." look at her pale skin, her "beauty." she was just a child trapped in the darkness of the carribean. ironically, it is cracker that appears to have committed the crime. the fellow is from holland, cocky, used to having it always go his way. hence, his babbling. supposedly, they were drinking and drugging, when she started to shake. he panicked, and dumped her body into a river. the only thing is, he now admits that he didn't know if she was dead when he deposited her body into the water like a bottle of beer. unknown to him, while he was speaking, cameras and tape recorders were monitoring his every word like a bad spoof of 1984, which is really how it always is. so, will he be charged, or not? do they now have enough to fry him like a punished patty at some fast food joint? of course, the chatty coworkers want his blood. why, he took the precious all american girl from us.

since these events have transpired, how many children have starved, victims of the crime of capitalism?

you would think, to hear them talk,
that the true crimes,
have already been solved.

but no, the true crimes, are very much still being committed against the victims of the earth. as we babble on about the all american girl, millions of the world's people are silenty suffering.

in the end, i guess they just spoke the wrong languages, had the wrong color of skin, and were bombed by the right people.

next time, maybe they will remember to make their deaths worthy of prime time tv.
