This came last night no idea how or why but it did.
Disclaimer: ... you know the drill
The reason he smiles is to hide his pain
The reason he laughs like a maniac is to throw others off his loneliness
The reason he annoys his neighbours is because it's the only way they can fight now
The reasons he annoys his brother is to remind him he's still here even if he's no longer needed
The reason he's immature is to hide the scars that he gained behind the wall
The reason he drinks is to forget his fall
The reason he bursts in to the piano room like a maniac is to say "Do you remember all those wars we had? When we were young and strong and I was still here?" without saying it aloud.
The reason he hangs around world meetings is to remember what it used to be like when he was around, when territory disputes were resolved in wars.
The reason he's seen that little bird on his head is because he has had time to just look
The reason he hangs around France and Spain is so he doesn't feel like he's the only one fallen from grace
The reason he makes insane plans of vital region seizing is because he's desperately jealous of every other nation in the world, that have land, are modern.
The reason he stays up to date with technology is to stop him feeling like a ghost from the past
The reason he has a blog is to tell the world "Yes I'm still here."
The reason he was able to see Canada was because he wasn't blinded by national issues and the media drawing his attention to America. Because he didn't have them anymore.
The reason he lives to make sure the world remembers him and his history, the wars he fought with and against them.
And the world remembers. But only some.
Seriously I have no idea how I wrote this. I must be either smoking something or becoming able to write well without music. Maybe it's because I'm back at school so my brain's actually working.
