Song of Seung

He no angry, he just invisible
He wanna die but not alone
Need a lotta blood these days to write some history
Not enough red stuff in just one suicide.

Shoot himself in face then
Take away the stretcher?
Hide under plainwhite sheet and no one know
Just who this boy named Seung-Hui Cho.

Nobody care if he live or die
But everybody care when he leave his mark.
All the people round him loved by others
He so jealous he no loved at all.

Gotta look bad, man, gotta look deadly.
Look into the camera man—he so bad.
See you on TV tonight and everybody gasp, Yeah
This be the way HE choose to leave.

Seeking immortality………wanna live forever
Can’t just die in this quiet little corner.
No, gotta make it loud enough to last all century
Make ’em drag you out when the next one outdoes you
Put you on the news when the next ones bleed
You can live forever, boy, Cho Seung-Hui.

Civil Strife — an Oxymoron

Through street violence, Hamas finally took the election victory it won democratically a year and a half ago. But although it won a majority of seats in the fair and free elections of January 2006, the U.S. and Israel—along with the U.N., E.U., and Russian Federation—immediately moved to cut off funds, effectively choking the Hamas-led government. So spoke the power of democracy. Unable to pay its civil servants, the government began to crumble. Now the world press is calling it civil war in the Gaza Strip. One must wonder why U.S. and Israeli foreign policy seems bent on stirring up civil discord (which looks remarkably like gang warfare). If we consider the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, the Israeli bombing of Lebanon, and the strangling of Palestine’s freely elected leadership, one must assume this policy is an intentional effort to incite violence. But why? Perhaps it’s to have a more viable excuse for taking over the region — stability.
