Unanswered Questions, Unfinished Bu'ness
Dun, Dun, Dun…Tha Aftermath
Well, well, well. I admit it's taken me a minute to write this edition of The Bitter Truth but dayum, ya'll didn't have to go terror squad on me to get my attention, this shit is re-got-dayum-diculous. Shit is still smoking, people are still screaming for help and here I am writing this shit for ya'll before you think you're slick and try to bomb my house or su'thin.
This episode of The Bitter Truth is gonna include the usual shit talking fa sho but it aint gonna be as hot as usual, I don't got it in me after seeing this shit go down I'm along with ya'll still sayin 'What Tha Fuck,' anyways here it go…
Shit Done Changed
We all know the story so I aint re-hashin the shit, New York City's World Trade centers are gone, one section of the Pentagon is gone, 4 planes are crashed, thousands of innocent people killed and millions of Americans sad, pissed and just bitter as all hell.
I, myself, fall into the bitter as hell category, like ya'll didn't know. At first it was sadness and now my bitterness for the American government has spread to other countries and it's at it's highest level. My main beef is…How the hell did this happen in the first place? I mean come on now, I've lived in the United States since birth, pay my taxes, have a shitty job and I can hardly even afford to eat, yet these muthafuckas from some third world country can walk in here, take pilot lessons, steal a fuckin airplane and kill our peoples like what! Don't we pay the muthafuckin CIA and NSA mad moolah to watch this shit? I aint shocked, I aint surprised I'm just sad and bitter that this was even possible in the first place.
Those people on the airplanes were goin about their bu'ness like any other day, those men, women, and yes, children, as young as 3 were on those planes; they got to see terrorism first hand and died because of it. Half them people in the Trade Center that day was just like us, woke up, got ready for the job they hated and went like it was any other day, gotta make that money… they just didn't happen to come home.
Just sad that some people, some whole countries have such a hatred for another. Just watching the news reports about this was devastating, seeing people with blood dripping down their faces, running for their lives and not even knowing if their families and friends got out alive. The images of people jumping out the windows of the Trade Center, 100 stories from the ground knowing they were jumping to their own death, just desperate to get the fuck out. I done seen some shit in my lifetime but this, this tops it all. Ya'll can pick ya jaws back up off tha ground now, yeah it's true, this did happen. It was un-fuckin believable, still is un-fuckin believable and in 5 years will still be un-fuckin believeable. But now, we can all agree that su'thin has to be done. We can't let our government just roll over and let our people die like this.
Now we wait and just hope we come home from our jobs today, tomorrow and the next day. The scariest shit about this is that there is no warning, it can and prolly will happen again just in a bigger capacity, now that they know how to get us. There's nothing that can fully protect any one of us. We will never really be the same, ever again.
All in Together Now
Since the terrorist attacks on September 11th we've seen mad heads of different races and religions just get together, people from all over the country sharing their thoughts and lending a hand to help. That's some good shit, peoples helping out people in need.
When I first seen this I was like awww aint that special but now, a week after the shit I'm feelin like the people of the
United States shoulda been pullin together like this from the jump.
You can drive down the street and all you can see for miles is the fuckin American flag. This is one of the things that has always made me bitter about the United States. It's such a great country right? Yet not many were proud of being a citizen, patriotism was dead for a minute. All this talk about I love America and God bless America and yadda yadda yadda. Yeah we like livin here or we wouldn't be here but you can't just start this patriotism shit up now, come on now. I aint sayin it's a bad thing that people have come together but in all honesty we shoulda been together before this shit happened.
To be all excited bout this whole comin together movement is just plain stupid to me. We take mad shit for granted and don't appreciate all that it means to be an American.
We all know that living here has it's good points and bad but we still here so it aint as shitty as it could be. The sad shit about this whole comin together thang is when it has died down, there will still be po peoples on the street, there will always be racism, murder, rapes and all the other nasty shit that's been goin on forever. One thing we can all agree on I hope, is that shit done changed and we are all in this together as people livin in the United States and we should keep it together.
Now What?
Just for a minute we need to face the fuckin facts…
People from other countries envy and hate the United States for it's power, it's money and the freedom of it's people. We are known as the Land of the Free and the Home of the brave right? Ironically those are the same reasons people flee their countries for the US on the daily. Over the history of the world the United States has helped out mad other countries, financially and with our military power.
Some people hate the United States for that and for it's foreign policies. Every time I hear bout our government helping other countries, or talking shit about su'thin goin on in another government, I always shake my head, 'dayum why do we gotta get in these peoples bu'ness.' I knew it would only cause problems for us in the long run. And it did. IF the main suspect Osama Bin Laden is responsible for this then we hafta realize that it aint just him doin this shit, he's got millions of followers. These people want anyone who is non-Muslim, dead. They are fuckin up the whole religion, making other Muslims pissed at them too.
It's just ironic that these people are Muslims whose religion is supposed to be peaceful, very non-violent, yet they stay killing men, women, and children for their fanatic views.
The United States is declaring war on terrorism. There are terrorist cells and training facilities in over 12 countries that we know of, and estimate that there are still 50 people in the United States, right now at this moment, who are linked to these terrorists and their leaders.
To get down to it, it aint even about the American people. All those peoples in NY, Washington and on them dayum planes died because of the United States government's policies which we the lil people really have nada to do with. To be even a lil more real… sad, but true.. this was a smart fuckin plan, and it took a long time to come together. There is proof that these individual terrorists have been in the United States since 1994, parlayin down in Florida and makin money on our stock markets. Now, if you try to tell me that no one in the CIA or anyone in the FBI knew anything about this or had a sniff of info on it, then I'ma fuckin slap the shit outta you cuz that's just ignorant, and ignorance doesn't fly with me. So this time we aint just sweeping the shit under the rug, our country has to do su'thin about it, but it's leaving millions of American People scared and left asking Now What?
Unfinished Bu'ness
I hate to leave shit hangin open, hate shit unfinished, but that's how it is right now. That's why we all got that feeling in the pit of our stomachs cuz we don't know what the fuck is goin on. What's gonna happen next, what state, what city will be targeted next? That feeling is what's getting most of us right now.
Tomorrow when we wake up this shit is still gon be real, them people are still dead, and people still missing. Millions of people aint getting on no airplanes, thousands aint trying to work in no tall buildings, and mad kids are freakin out about just goin to school. Even after we send our military over there we as every day people aint gonna feel closure on this. Those kids that don't have a mother or father no more aint feelin closure on this. People who are missing their sisters and brothers aint feelin like this is finished. The thing we still uneasy about is that the people who did it are still out there and celebrating bout this. When will it end? What is gonna happen now? That's the only way we can leave it. Un-Answered questions, Un-Finished bu'ness.
Until next time… keep it bitter and talk much shit.
