Reply #8: Word Up, Darling! [View All]

[Lady Sonelle]

I HAVE a life and I know how much longer I have.

Four years or under!

Now I can sit down and cry. I could strap something horrible to Myself and go hug a politician (I have a little list...) and make the news.

I might just yet.

Or I can decide to spend My final years having some fucking FUN!

Do you think this world, this administration gives a TIN SHIT about ANY of us?! Do you have ANY concept of just how ANGRY I am? Or an inkling of just how MUCH chance I have left?

**NOTHING**

I have NO savings and NO property and NO future and NO fallback position! When Social Security goes.... **I GO** **I DIE**

So for the next four GOD DAMNED years, I intend to turn My back on this stinking steaming SHIT PILE that was ONCE My beloved country and I am going to HAVE FUN!

Because we CANNOT get off this sinking ship and we CANNOT make the captain listen and we CANNOT change the course and we CANNOT call for help so GIVE ME A FUCKING DECK CHAIR... I'M MOVIN' THEM AROUND!!

And, if God is KIND to Me I'll find I have something TERMINAL and won't HAVE to stick around for this shit to grow maggots!

I lived through the sixties with the hope and the striving for something better. we were altruistic and we were trying for something beyond ourselves. They GOT to us and they killed us, one by one. Some weren't killed physically, but their minds went, their hearts, their souls... some died by their own hand and some by their own beliefs... and some, like Me, weren't killed... but were so stunted, so damaged, yet left to live in the world where NOBODY WANTED US...

And now the second wave of death begins. And I can sit here and cry and wail and moan and will have four years of misery... or I can get up and dance!

I'm gonna fucking DANCE because it's the LAST DANCE we're gonna have for a LONG TIME.

So FUCK it... fuck it ALL!

I'm NOT 25 and I'm NOT male and I'm NOT able-bodied and I'm NOT rich and I'm NOT in a good paying job and I'm NOT insured and.... you get the picture.

THERE IS NOTHING FUCKING LEFT!

So if I want to put on a purple dress and a red hat and dance like an idiot, allow Me that, because there is FUCK ALL ELSE.

Thank you.
