Collective Suicide Bombing

Anger. Resentment. Greed. Hatred. Frustration. Helplessness. Ego.
All of the above and other of their ilk survive only within our bodies. The more we feed them, the more they grow. Fantastic breeding grounds we make.

But the moment we choose to spit them out of our systems, they perish. As if the very touch of air strangles them. That's because the world, as it started and is in essence, doesn't want them. The expanse of the world outside of our bodies and minds, doesn't allow those environments to ferment which can serve as their habitats. Nature understands, they must not be alive.

Look around you, nature abounds in forms so myriad that the sheer magnitude could defeat our puny existence. Each entity glows with a natural sheen, which bubbles forth with perennial energy. When does this wither? In our company. Each one of us, a suicide bomber. And when we come together, catastrophe.
We have begun to teem with such caustic negativity, that even the potent, eternal vibrancy that is inherent in our very existence and everything around us, is wilting now.

Turn inside, the world within knows it too. Yet these scorned energies continue to enjoy a parasitic relationship with almost each one of us. Yet they grow. Yet we're eaten up.
Are we really that weak?

A lullaby which talks about things not so lullaby-ish, that's the song for tonight. 'No surprises' by Radiohead.


A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

This is my final fit, my final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises please (let me out of here)...
