I just can't distinguish myself from the 'punks' or 'the cops;'
or the 'rich corporations.'
I feel like I am a part of them all.
I look around my house, what's in my drawers, in my fridge,
in my bathroom medicine cabinet, and 
I am a consumer. I have no idea where my water shed is
that distributes to my neighborhood.
I have no strong sense of distingishing night from day anymore;
I have electricity, and its cloudy out there anyway.
I hear loud 'bomb' noises being set off by the Nat'l Guard last week
and I think, maybe its some airplane from the airport doing its 
typical pattern over my head.
I haven't taken a hike in a long while.
I am far, far away from my natural world. And this is what is 
effecting my immune system. And this is what is causing
blame being pointed in every direction.
And this is what is causing people to say they are right, and the other is 
wrong. Just because one group of people think what they are doing is right 
does not make the other side wrong. That's all I am saying.
