Why Troy Davis was a better man than me.

"May God have mercy on your souls. May God bless your souls." Troy Davis' last words as he was subjected to state sanctioned murder.


"May God have mercy on your souls. May God bless your souls." Words I could never say as a dysfunctional justice system allowed me to die for a crime somebody else had committed.


"May God have mercy on your souls. May God bless your souls.". How does a man say that to his executioners after being so badly misused by a justice system designed to kill him?


I would need to yell. To scream at the top of my lungs that I was being murdered, that this was murder by consent of the State and I hope you never have another peaceful night's sleep. With all the doubt, I would not go peacefully into the night.


"May God have mercy on your souls. May God bless your souls."


Troy Davis, RIP, and thank you for a lesson in grace.

Probably won't give a fuck tomorrow either.

Just so ya know, I don't anticipate giving much of a fuck for a while. Between friends lost and this, I've about decided that giving a fuck hurts to damn much.

And, just so there's no doubt, the first person who tells me to turn to Jesus or to accept God's will can go fuck themselves, and God and Jesus and all the saints and angels can join in.

Just to be clear.

I don't give a fuck today

Problem with the pregnancy, so, today, I don't give a fuck.
