While in chat, I brought up the picture of Kim Phuc, it involved Misfit saying how her nude pic of Janis Joplin was deleted by photo bucket for being inappropriate.

Anywho, I got to wondering what ever happened to that poor naked girl burned by US napalm and went to her Wiki page.

The story of that womans life I found inspiring and has brought me to tears.

From this.



To this.



If only all the victims of misguided US military actions could turn out so well.

Absurdity of Maturity:

Who owes a god damn thing
to the child within
for the
suffering tolerated
abuses inflicted
lessons learned
on the subject of
world cruelty.
Not a single "thank you"
to the kid you once were
bury the heart
bury the mind
bury the innocence
(bury your name?)
and move forward into the future
forgetting how shit it is
to be a kid.
"Grow up!"
"Get a clue!"

Strength is not something that just happens, me thinks.
