Shot to death

Music: Various (play list No. 8)
Mood: tired

It’s something I read in the paper today. They shot a sparrow to death. One tiny, helpless sparrow. Well, ok, there’s a story behind this. It’s about a new world record of domino. The Dutch team has been building this domino course for weeks… it was almost finished.. and then, there came this sparrow. It accidentally (well, I think so) flew in the hall and touched one of the domino stones. Alright, I can imagine the despair and anger of the team… BUT.. it has happened already.. so, what’s the use of killing this poor thing? The bird had no idea what these stones were for.

Last week I saw a photo of a piglet in an agony. He is only 2 days old. His tail is cut and burnt off, his canines are pulled out, his balls are cut off…all without anesthesia or pain killers because it’s too expensive. We, the consumers, don’t want to pay for that.
While the pet industry is huge and people are ready to spend substantial amount of money for their (sorry, “our”) pets, this poor little piglet has to suffer so much pain… What’s the difference between our pets and these pigs, chickens and other cattle?

Um… but I have to confess… I’m so incoherent. I kill all those fruit flies that bothering me… Although I do know it’s my fault cos I once left orange waste in the kitchen.

I turned 2 Osho-cards today just like yesterday and the day before… still can’t find an answer. I guess my question this time is too specific. Well, ok, the cards have no answers… they are in me, in my mind.

River Of Pain
(Thunder)

I should’ve seen it coming now
Should’ve known it would happen this way
If I’d trusted my initial instincts
Then maybe you’d be here today

Cos the more that I gave
The more I could see a change
You only wanted my love
When you thought I might take it away, I’m afraid

Now I’m drowning in a river of pain
Slowly going down
All I did was love you too much
So now I’ll remain
Stranded here forever
Drowning in a river of pain

I don’t know when it happened now
Suddenly you’d taken control
One day I was pulling your strings girl
Then the next you had a grip on my soul

So I let myself go
Cos my heart wouldn’t be denied
There was distance in your eyes
And your touch turned fire to ice, no surprise

That I’m drowning in a river of pain
Here with my regrets
Going round and round in my head
But still I remain
Stranded here forever
Drowning in a river of pain

Somehow when you saw the other side of me
Then I lost my mystery

Now I’m drowning in a river of pain
Slowly going down
All I did was love you too much
So now I’ll remain
Drowning in a river of pain
