Dawn of the Decade 2010 Strange how timing of a "random" act half way around the world, sets off a chain of events to effect the life of someone seemingly so inconsequential to the world at large, far from the conspiracy of the thoughts of mad men that conceived their scheme and in finding someone to follow their command, sacrificing their life to destroy others and create chaos across a country, effecting the world, politics, business and enticing the paranoia of the masses many of which will die in a car wreck having never been at risk from any terror acts. paranoia money spent policies and politicians may rise and fall for an act that can never truly be prevented only be accepted such is life such is risk we shake our heads tisk tisk that none of us are safe at any time just accept that when its your time it's time And I, I a needle in a haystack, life effected henceforth in my destiny, as a man's head was found intact, blown from it's neck stack into a third story building window his suicide terror act attack. I, I just a needle in a haystack, his act changes destiny. Thrown to the wind, in a different direction, for schooling, for training, to teach, English in another country, far from my home, my family, the little that is left. and ensuing decisions to be made, destinations, all for a quest, a quest of a mate and a home, an end to this roaming to be found roaming on the road alone. Prague Paris Praha Paris Where Where does it matter does any one care schools schools which one does it matter who is there adventures, exploration before and or after after or before to explore does it matter one way round-trip convincing another the wise thing to do why buy a round-trip ticket when you don't know when you'll return or from where does it matter why should one care but one is cheaper will there be anyone there only one or two the few that care just a need in a haystack and I, and I destiny thrown to the wind a city is burning and very few care but I and those scattering scattered as ashes in the wind |
