Poem

Please don't disturb me.
The Eternal City on the Hill
is torn down
by the beatings
of butterfly
wings.

Please don't disturb me.
My Jerusalem
has fallen.
I am building
a butterfly.

In Defense of Israel

As of yesterday, the 6th of January, 629 Palestinians have been brutally murdered by Israeli forces since December 27th. This is not something I sympathise with in any way. It's a pretty nasty thing to do, especially since around 200 of those have been civilians. 2800 people are injured. Not a nice thing to do.

Bad, bad Israel.

However, when I read about this in the news, I couldn't help but react. The article detailed all of these horrible things Israelis had done to Palestinians, but it didn't say why. So I went on the internet and looked.

December 21.
50-something rockets and mortars hit Israeli territory. One man is injured, and there's massive property damage. Israel responds by taking out two rocket launchers.

December 22.
Egypt requests that Hamas stops firing rockets. So, today, they fire only three, hitting nobody.

December 23.
Five more rockets strike Israeli territory. Again, nobody is injured.

December 24.
More than 60 rockets fired. They hit Israeli homes, a public square, a factory, and a goddamn playground. Several people are treated for shock. Hamas also accidentally shoots two Palestinian civilians with a rocket. Several homes are seriously damaged.

December 26.
12 rockets are fired into Israel. None hit any Israeli targets, but the Hamas accidentally blow up two Palestinian sisters, aged five and thirteen.

December 27.
Hamas fires 130 rockets today. One hits a 58-year old man in his home, killing him. Israel responds by attacking Hamas, killing 225 people. All hell breaks loose. War.

Now, I don't in any way sympathise with war. I don't like the idea. However, I can ask this: What if Norway fired around 260 rockets, during one week, at densely populated Swedish areas? Including a fucking playground? Would you consider it immoral to open war on them?

An Empty Day

Today is an Empty Day. I have nothing planned. I have nobody coming over. I have nothing I have to do. Except maybe eat.

It's a very nice day for an empty day. I wonder what I'll do with it?

Hug Me Universe

It's like this;
I love you
okay. And
It's like this;
I feel like
okay. And
It's all coming apart
okay. But
It's all coming together
okay. While
The stars dance and
I know your name I feel
okay. But
You don't have a name,
You have every name,
okay. And
All the names I ever loved,
all the names I'm gonna love,
okay. And
I don't know you yet,
okay. And
I've known you all my life,
okay. And
Let's pretend you're a girl,
okay? Cause
I love you
and that would feel
less gay
okay.

Strindberg och Jag

Natt
en himla massa natt
och så flaskan
som skulle kunna innehålla absinth
fast det gör den inte
om den hade gjort det
kanske Strindberg hade varit här
hos mig.
Fan, Strindberg, jag känner ju inte ens dig
vi levde inte i samma tid eller rum
eller ens i samma land egentligen
och inte har jag läst nåt av dig heller
fast jag såg fröken julie
en gång.
Men ändå,
jag känner mig lite ensam
och vem annars?
Jag menar, han om någon
jag menar, det verkar som om
jag menar, jag vet inte
för jag har aldrig känt Strindberg,
jag menar, att ha en vän
en sådan vän
som Strindberg
det har man inte
Strindberg och jag
vi känner inte varandra
vi har aldrig träffats
och jag har inte läst
det han skrev
ändå
på något vis
Strindberg
och jag.

The Least Creative Hell

"Finally, for the Kaafirs, the situation will be such that for every infidel a coffin will be prepared for them to the length of their height, and then they will be put into this coffin. Then, it will be set on fire and it will be locked with a padlock of fire. It will be then be put inside a larger coffin also made of fire and the gap between will be set on fire. A padlock with chains made of fire will also be put around it. It will then be put into another coffin and then also set on fire"

Can your vision of Hell possibly get any more monotonous?

Attencion!

My parents have decreed that we can stay at my house for New Years as well, and some time after that, should we feel like it. So, if you don't have anything else planned for New Years, deciding to stay a bit longer means profit!
