About two weeks ago, I went to Armenia. At some point, I will show pictures, but because every picture takes 15 minutes to upload here,you're going to have to wait.
Yerevan, Armenia has statues. A lot of statues. I would say that the statues were randomly distributed, but I don't understand randomness; it's easier for me to say that the statues were positioned in such a way that sometimes I thought each one was silly, sometimes I thought each one was sad. But for every statue I sawI realized that I was completely wrong about the Soviet Empire Yerevan, Armenia is a much smaller city than Lincoln, Nebraska. But Yerevan has more statues, has more books, has more hope. Yerevan is a small city, but if you were able to see the statues...
I climbed up the top of the Cascades of Yerevan...and though I'm fat I decided not to take the elevator. My heart almost gave out, but I was powered by the hatred (thanks Skeletor...er...thanks Dad...I guess your intense hatred has fueled me in a way that you can't understand). From the almost top of the museum (how pissed off was I that the monument wasn't finished!), I was able to see the smog...and I saw the statue of Mother Armenia. Monotheism destroys statues, inhibits creativity, and cuts off the hands of poets. Atheism allows 3 colors: grey, white, and brown. I will take those three colors, as long as I still have my hands. Let me have my hands. Mother Armenia still has statues with hands.
I'm not a poet, but I can tell you this one thing:
I'm asked to know verbs
I'm asked to know jesus
I'm asked to remember you
Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't.
I have a weirdo sister, I have a fallen friend.
I have a friend that keeps on singing about sadness,
I have a friend who has found his voice.
I can only be me.
So...uhm...suck it.
It's me. With my irreplaceable glasses
but my already broken heart.
Just remember my name.
I have so many pictures; I have so many ways to show you that you have no idea; I have so many things to ask you this: can you really believe? And, because I know the answer, why do you?
