i’m jammed. i would have given the provisions on the grant of “executive clemency” to the shooter of Maureen Hultman (in 1991? i think) and companion. I’ll be back tonight. Hwag ka na magalit (don’t get mad)

(this song reads well and sounds a lot better when played by its writer, Sting)
”A stone’s throw from jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the april moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I’m lost without you I’m lost without you
Though all the kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I’m mad about you I’m mad about you
“And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer? how much longer?
They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the summer of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another’s wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I’m mad about you I’m mad about you
“And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominion over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories
In all our histories, without you
“A stone’s throw from jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the april moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I’m lost without you Im lost without you
And though you hold the keys to ruin
Of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust,
My enemies walk free
Though all the kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I’m mad about you I’m mad about you”
– Sting, “Mad About You” from the collection “Soul Cages”
