MA.

Seriously?  I don't get it America.....  We are one of the VERY FEW developed nations without a national health care program.  I'm fucking tired of these self interested motherfuckers running our country.  I don't give a shit if you're a republican or a democrat; the bill that will now be trashed was very reasonable.  But why will it get trashed?  Oh yeah I remember..... it's because here in America no one could really give a fuck about affordable healthcare for young, poor families.  "You mean I, a fortunate citizen, with a job and income of my own will have to pay more money to ultimately change the lives of people without the aforementioned that I don't know?  I like helping people..... wait, wait, wait.  What's the catch Uncle Sam? I have to help pay for it?  You mean there is need right here in America that I could help with?  Really?  Ah fuck it.  Sounds like too much money, I've been saving up for a new big screen anyways and little timmy can go without his insulin for a few weeks till his mom finds a new job right?"  Just look at this graph from National Geographic last month.  We have a problem.  This is serious.  If you don't care because you've had healthcare all your life or your support system, ie friends and family, have enough money to pay medical services out of pocket please try to think outside of yourself for a moment.  Many families in our country make less than $30,000 a year (before taxes!), notice I said families that means more than one person.  That means $2,500 a month, $625.00 a week.  The average urgent care bill floats around $350.00.  Thats more than half a weeks pay, this sort of shit is devastating to families with children that have medical needs.  I'll stop here.   http://blogs.ngm.com/.a/6a00e0098226918833012876674340970c-800wi

Now for something completely different.

IT'S MINE

My portion is enormous.
Unmatched.
Chest ache and heart
A Flutter.

It's these between times
That I love you so much.
Without room to spare
You still excite the cold bones.

Combustion of hot powder
And liquid.
Spontaneous.

The time off matters
More than what we believe.
Willingness for love
Today
Makes me love you
Before the thought.
