fergie's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the illusion 911:The Illusion We empty our pockets and walk through metal detectors to check for weapons. We check our suitcases and answer multiple questions about bag handling at the ticket counter. Cameras in plain sight gaze upon us from above. We pass security guards and official looking people in suits with badges. Though filled with chaotic passengers trying to make their flight, the atmosphere is controlled and runs like a machine. Everything is business as usual. We think we are safe. We are asleep. One day we wake up. Maybe its today. With our eyes wide open, we see the world is not the place we know it to be, and it could be changing more everyday. We are no longer feeling safe or secure, our material world seems to swirl around us in a cloud of smoke. What if we had to think about destruction & people dying every single day? What if it was all around us and there was nothing we could do? I wonder weather or not this is a sign of things to come, if the illusion will continue, if people will have to adapt to ridiculous safety measures when nothing is really being done about the problem. Will it be more of the same, and will we so easily swallow the pill again? So many questions and still a bit of shock at the loss of so many people. Such a sad and crazy day, and I can�t help but question if it will be the last. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
