What's Wrong With Me?
A cry for help from a deep pit
What's wrong with me?
Am I too short? Too fat? Too ugly?
Do I smile too much?
Do I cry too often?
Is there a reason you always laugh at me?
Sometimes, I feel like people treat me as if
I have a third eye protruding from my forehead.
Or a secret arch nemesis who tells everyone I meet,
That I'm strange, abnormal, not to be conversed with.
All I want to know is what I'm doing wrong?
If you don't tell me, then how can I grow?
Because if all I'm ever going to feel, is guilt for my existence,
Then maybe I should just go

Have you ever wondered why North Korea is always threatening to start a war?
First up, we've got Kim Jong Un, the Supreme Leader of North Korea, who's always talking about nuking this and attacking that. But why? Is he just a madman with a finger on the big red button? 🤔💣 Turns out, this whole "threaten war" thing is a family tradition. Kim's dad, Kim Jong Il, came up with the "military first" policy to make North Koreans think their poverty was a necessary sacrifice to protect them from the big bad world. 💸🪖 So, Kim Jong Un is basically using the same playbook. He's like, "Hey, forget about the fact that you're starving and I'm living it up in my fancy palace. We need to focus on the real enemy: everyone else!" 😡🏰 Plus, nothing says "I'm a tough guy" like testing some nukes and making the world pee their pants a little. Kim Jong Un's got to show his generals and politicians that he means business. 💪💥 But here's the thing: even Kim's buddies, China and Russia, aren't too keen on a full-blown nuclear war. So, he's got to be careful not to push things too far, or he might lose his only friends. 🇨🇳🇷🇺 Some smart people think the way to deal with North Korea is to give them a little smack on the wrist, like a targeted military strike or some sneaky information warfare. But that's like poking a bear with a nuke - it could get ugly fast. 🐻💣 Others are like, "Chill out, everyone. North Korea's been making empty threats for years, and we're still here." They say the U.S. and South Korea are ready to rumble if things get real. 💪🇺🇸🇰🇷 Lately, it seems like North Korea might be more interested in making money than making war. But who knows? Kim Jong Un is about as predictable as a cat on catnip. 🐱🌿 One thing that's got everyone a little nervous is North Korea getting their hands on some fancy new weapons from Russia. It's like giving a toddler a loaded gun - sure, they might not shoot it on purpose, but accidents happen. 👶🔫 At the end of the day, we've all got to hope that everyone keeps their cool and that North Korea's threats stay just that - threats. Because if this thing goes nuclear, we're all in for a bad time. ☢️💀

I rule this rag tag lot… they’re not much, but they’re all I’ve got! I preside at the head of the table, my indisputable, rightful place. But, I randomly perch on other chairs at a moment’s notice… whenever the mood strikes. Such fun keeping them off balance. Fun reminding them who’s boss... ME!
