Shook me down..

A State Trooper saw me take this picture and shook me down. I had to hand over my id and tell him everything about myself. He neithr told me my rights or what was the suspected crime. He ran my info through his database and aksed me if he was going to find anything that he should know about. As if he was doing me a favor, he kept saying he didn't have a problem taking pictures but just of the bridge. He further said we don't know what a terrorist looks like. I felt like saying to him I know what a terrorist looks like. "It's you." Now I sit here listening to WBAI of veteran horror stories and the hustle and the lies about the war and the real situation...corporate media on the tv lying the grey suited bankers on the train not giving a fuck about anyone or anything accept for robbing blind. And it reminds me of the Joseph Conrad line from the Heart of Darkness, "the horror."
