RUST NEVER SLEEPS

Ever notice that uprisings are getting more violent but protesters are getting smaller? The less people involved the braver the cops the more resolved the action is.

EDSA: Tons of people, no guns, no shooting but there's dancing and singing. Usually more than a day.

Oakwood: A group of people, with guns. Bomb laying. Lot's of picture taking. Less than a day.

NAIA: Two people, with guns, shooting. Two dead. A couple of hours

What's next? One person, a nuclear bomb, a lot dead, in a couple of minutes?

Does anyone feel like I do? Like we're Alice stuck in Nowhere Land? Looking for our Yellow Submarine? Is this frustration I feel? Exasperation? Maybe resentment...

Is it right for me to feel that we should have a proper revolution? One where we can cleanse the ranks of the slime and smut that's been festering our country for the longest time? It's been a long time since someone in power has been punished for breaking the law (Congressman Almonte, Cong. Jalosjos, Mayor Sanchez, etc. And who, at this point, are in jail surrounded with country club like facilities.)

Where is justice now? Oh right. I forgot, even the Supreme Court is not even spared of a few irregularities. Real or perceived.

If we believe everything, then we have politicians who has only the betterment of our country in mind, megacompanies that only exists to serve our countrymen, and countrymen who strive to help one another. Man! I can smell that bull a mile away.

No wonder there are a lot of churches and choice of religion around. All we can do is pray. Well, actually, pray or blog about it.
