The Hoax of the Gay Girl Wanting Freedom.

“Now freedom must be fundamental, in Johannesburg or South Central” Rage Against the Machine sang on their debut album from 1992.
Or should we say; in Syria, Egypt, Iran, Libya and in every other regime governed by narcissistic madmen. But also in any country where democracy stands on the town square as a pillar of truth.

A hoax or not, people are still being persecuted for wanting freedom, for demanding democracy and for their different views or sexual orientations. You have to fit the bill or else you're out.

But then again, in a democratic county they killed of Socrates some 2000 yrs ago.

Thoughts on the missing girl of Damascus.

What freedom exists when the words of A Gay Girl in Damascus sends madmen into the street searching for her? What freedom exists when you can’t open your heart and tell the world how you feel? But then again, who wants freedom when Totalitarianism is working so well? The Savage Beasts roam the fields in search of naughty sheep’s to barbecue on the fire of innocence. The scavengers of the ‘regimish’ mind peck on the bones of live prey, tearing the freedom child apart. Gay Girl in Damascus, may freedom find you before the hyenas get hungry. Today my words go out to you, wherever you are. Stay safe.

Few post in 2011, but have a nice summer.

2011 has not been a blog year for me. I am currently enjoying my writing too much. A publication should be complete sometime during June, and I am writing on a new story, so blogging falls down the list. But I hope what I have written in the past might be worth reading. Dave at the Octoberfest and The Savage beast… are some of those I had the most fun writing.

Have a nice summer.
