Watched
a CNN Documentary on 1968
last
night. Bet most of you reading this
were
decades away from even being
born
yet.
Indeed,
it’s hard for me to believe I
lived
through all that some 52-years
earlier.
The assassinations of MLK
and
RFK, the cities on fire, the riots
and
protests, the hell that was the war
at
home and in Vietnam.
Terrible!
And
I thought so back then, But I was
only
21-years old and had hopes things
would
improve over time. But then...
Terrible!
And
in cycles as the world turns, more
travesties
and disasters occur. Seems
all
those lessons and still we never learn.
New
deaths, new births, history is written,
the
facts fade away, and get ready, here we
go
once again.
Terrible!
When
you live through so many cycles
you
begin to think, sure different faces,
perhaps
different places,
but here we
are,
Déjà
vu all
over again.
Terrible!
At
73-years of age with all my maladies
and
pains, I’m thinking how much more
of
this shit can the human
race take, all
the
prejudices, injustices and hate?
I
sit alone now watching the CNN docu-
mentary
on 1968 replay, knowing that
new
ones are being produced today.
Next
time I may not live to see the day.
Terrible!
Goddamned terrible!
