Adios Blogspot

I wish I had a more poignant way of saying this, but it's late and I've used up a lot of my creative writing juices today, so basically: adieu blogspot. Thank you for putting up with all of my emotional rants, lovelorn ravings, heartbroken posts, the occasional inspiring story but mostly just a ton of mental diarrhea for the past 8 years :")

Anyone wanting to still keep up with all of this can move on to my new micro-blogging platform at antiaj.tumblr.com. It's basically my same old mash-up of thoughts and random prose, but packaged in a more modern, more colorful, overall generally more aesthetically pleasing format is all. Enjoy!

Dear terrorist,

Dear terrorist,

Did your body not revolt?
When you strapped on that backpack
Filled with explosives,
Knowing full well the end result.

Did your feet not hesistate?
When you walked into that square
Getting ready,
To spread your message of hate.

Did your hand not burn?
When you squeezed the trigger
Felling innocents,
Without a hint of concern.

Did your mind not scream?
Begging you to stop
When you pulled out that bomb
Killing one, two
Lives not yours for the taking.

Dear terrorist,

Did you not remember?
That your body, mind, hands and feet
Will all bear witness to the sin you’ve committed

Once God has brought you before Him. 


In memory of the victims of Thursday's #ThamrinTerror. May the best of humanity always prevail against those who have lost their humanity. #WeAreNotAfraid #KamiTidakTakut
