At times like this, when war is just around the bend, us civilian folk often look to political cartoonists to provide an encapsulated vision of what’s happening in the world around us.

Well, I’ve come across a cartoonists take on the war with Iraq using Flash as a vehicle for delivering the message. It’s a bit scary, but you have to love the power of the interactive medium.

BAM!
i’m off and running
engine turned over
fuming
humming
after months of spinning my wheels and remaining grounded in place
i’ve taken a long look in the mirror and have seen the lines in my face
tracking the depth and flow of my past
sometimes it’s hard to handle
hard to grasp
how to move forward and make my dreams come alive
but i’ve been suped up and i’m ready to thrive
so all of the self pity, orange juice drinking, and bullshit is gone for good
no need to pray or knock on wood
i’ve got a vision of who i am and where i want to go
it’s not a damn guess
it’s a damn know
but enough of the pomp and circumstance
this ceremony is getting tired
mired in the loops of self reflection
i gotta go to bed
methinks i’m a bit too wired
