2 and 0

 




...could it be that 

the USofA hasn't learned a thing 

from that hellacious day...? 


Keepsake from my Boston friend; K. M... Thanks sweetie pie! 

Since 2001, how much toxic pollution 
has been wrought upon the environment? 
How much deadly and irreversible action 
has been undertaken without a thought 
about what the long-term ramifications 
might be...?  How many innocents 
have paid the price already for these 
poor decisions ~ and how many more 
are already set up to pay for it? 
How many animals, species, unborn babies 
are already dead ~ as much as the 
9/11 victims... Iraq victims... 
Afghans that followed during the truly 
never-ending war on terror... 
Christians; beheaded in Nigeria, in the 
Middle-East and all over the world... 
Indigenous on the way of corporative 
plans, projects and profit... 
How deep has the profound lack of 
RESPECT gotten to be, 
in the course of these twenty long years 
of alleged "reflection"...? 


But even they lack in the ability to properly 
reflect, ponder, assimilate the crucial... 
The USofA must know this, on this 
September 11 2021: 
after having lost an additional 13 lives 
just a mere few days ago ~ while 
exiting Afghanistan,  with their collective tail 
firmly between their legs, 
seeing the Taliban now spread out 
through three times as much territory 
-via Al Qaeda but via Isis too- 
and with their "war on terror" a total 
utter failure... their record is 0-2. 
Is that why they take it out 
as they do ~ on nature...?

Life: Too Short

 









Everyday, on imdb, you can check out 
the professional activities, 
latest projects/releases, birthdays, 
and ages of celebrities 
involved in the bustling, 
ever upbeat ~even in a pandemic~ 
entertainment industry... 

Yes... They are needed. 
They always were;
but even more so now, 
as the masses desperately need 
something to help them forget 
the dreary state of the world 
these days... 


The good ones are gone, alas...


...so many of them...




And one can wonder, 
more than ever, 
just how long we will have 
those that we do have 
now... 


Forever 21: certainly does not look 51 
MGC ~ 20 years in the business ~ 
yet she is a newcomer in the 
eyes of so many. 
Many happy returns. 


Such a small age gap here; 
in today's Tinseltown, 
they could play anything 
from a pair of sisters 
to mother and daughter 
to a lesbian power couple. 


Future leading man. 
Still so young he can play 
teenager parts... and does. 
The sky is literally the limit. 
Then again, they were saying 
the exact same thing 
about the guy from True Blood 
or the turd from Mad Men 
~ and where are they now? 


...still do not see why 
she cannot be the new Mera 
~ in replacement of 
Amber Heard... 


After all, there is always 
a semblance of replacement 
as they leave us, one by one... 
Sooner or later - we are all replaced 
no matter what field we are in... 
Some never are replaced; 
but their likeness is found, in others... 
And that suffices, usually. 
It suffices in our society, 
where everyone is deemed 
replaceable indeed. 
No one is ever truly "replaced" 
of course; as we are all, 
each and every individual, 
unique to the very last atom...


...some are more fondly 
remembered than others... 


...that's all.
