[hometext] => the title has nothing to do with the scrawl itself. i just couldn't come up with one that described it.
[bodytext] => we cry, "i am an individual" we are right, but we are wrong we are individual pieces of the collective pile of ***** that is mankind but that is as far as our individuality goes being different doesn't make you an individual it just makes you easier to single out we cry, "i love you" but, how can you know what love is when so many base it on other people's words so often we ask of others, "how do you know when you're in love?" their answers vary, but we still follow the dumb led by the dumb led by the dumb love isn't something you know that you feel love is something you feel that you know and you don't love is one part desperation two parts appreciation and, in some cases, three parts longing for fornication nothing special, nothing amazing just crude human desires dressed up for show if i kill my neighbor, because he annoys me you call me a savage an animal a killer yet, you sit back in your armchair and cheer on our "leader" as he orders the annihilation of a country in retribution for the actions of a small group you reply, "that country hated us. they laughed at our loss" my town hates a neighboring towns high school football team does that give them free reign to come destroy our town kill our citizens, set themselves in a seat of power? but i guess it's ok as long as they promise to help re-build, huh? you say, "this is the devil's work" but who are you to say who the devil is does your book not promise that satan will appear as something pleasing something good, something that will appeal to you? then how do you know that your god is not, in truth, the devil he seems to appeal to you, he seems to please you what makes you so sure that all the times you thought god was speaking to you it wasn't the devil, manipulating your weak mind how do you know that everything you "know" isn't wrong?
