August for me is always when I start what I call my summer reading. It began with the fact that my family would always go on summer vacation in August and I would always choose specific books to read for the vacation. So regardless of what my August plans on, every August I select my summer reading list. Books that evoke either a sort of vacation-like feel, or books that just seem to embody summer.
This year I had certain categories for the summer adventure I wanted to have. First
A modern rendering of the Lady of Shalott
Her Body is Her Tower
Her life begins to ebb away
bound by in chains by the states
hour by hour; day by day
Trapped inside; forced to stay
to carry this burden became her fate
her life begins to ebb away
The only hope offered is to pray
sorry and bitterness solidify into hate
hour by hour; day by day
All her emotions shades of gray
I am sure I am being cynical and others will think I am a terrible bad person, but I have already embraced that about myself, so I don't really care. I am of the opinion that weddings are entirely selfish and self-indulgent. You met someone whom makes you feel happy and special, and you want to pledge to spend your whole life with them, yay for you. I am happy for you, I think that is great, go, have fun....but leave me out of it. Acknowledge that I am happy for you, but I just don't care enough
It is fair that you wear
the color of mourning
for we mourn the loss
of your integrity, dignity, and honor,
and glibly you wear the blood
of the lives you so
cavalierly destroy.
It is right you wear
the color of mourning
for you have disgraced
your duty, and slaughtered
our rights so smugly.
It is just that you wear
the color of mourning
for within your courts
all justice
