loo... sir...
                                                    ser (also
     cheese, in polish; bita
  śmietana; whipped smetana)...
                           loser...
  well... loo... you need the o to be acute,
to morph into a u... so... mmm... lóser;
    but the english seem to have no
        conceptualißation of differentiating
         phonetic units;
should i state u as contra ω (omega)?
            or should i just reconile the difference
with a u with a marcon (ū)?
        or reiterate a prolonged sound
    akin to u, but instead a doubling,
                             akin to pool?
- you know what agitates
people?
you know what agitates people
to commit the crimes?
no, it's not the word islam...
you start calling someone
a loser?
              you're going to get
a "winner's" response.
the win?
        well, you know...
a bunch of people ending up, dead.
identifying at muslim,
    adhering to the label islam...
that's not the problem...
you agitate these young males
with what's a win, and what isn't?
and you keep adding the spice
of      LOSER?
         you're not going to live in a safe
society...
            people do react to words
emotionally... but how could you understand,
given your reverence for icons...
      that's the foundation of islam...
a sensitivity for words, toward using them...
after all, you can have a conversation
when staring at a painting...
         but when you keep using
that word loser... over and over again...
in your capitalist methodology...
  oh look... 20 odd dead in manchester....
i understand islam in this way...
  images don't have the capacity to
create the immediacy of an emotional
conteney're t that words have provide / reveal;
that's compared to:
   hearing a hallucination
is more frightening than seeing one...
        since we've been able to provide images
of jupiter, or saturn...
         you keep pushing that message
about winners, and losers...
        you're going to get the same answer
from the "losers"...
      the death of those who "could" have
become winners...
        you understand the drift you're
  solidifying?
       it's not exactly beck's thrill of song.
- well, if men paint more than women,
and women having a higher affiliation
  to "language"...
    men, really get more emotional with regard
to how language is used...
       seeing a painting they're like... blah...
but affix them a word, akin to loser...
                                        knife or gun?
