and so it begins
and that is where it ends
pushing for the oligarchs
push away your friends
no need to double clutch your pearls
you'll just have to double clutch them again
walking on a razor thin line
slicing you to shreds.

Just Us
all the things I ever dreamed
of place and time
the things I thought we shared
yours and mine
just dust on a shelf it seems
all left behind
There is no we in America anymore
just a lot of i
if there ever was an America
it just gave up and died
all the things I ever dreamed

I haven't been as excited for a movie as I am for The Long Walk, ever in my life. I've read the book 22 times. It looks so good, I'm a bit scared
I was there when they stormed the Korean nuclear facility.

all I can do is weep
and after that I sleep
so much heavy lifting
from a hole dug much too deep
I try and fail to hide
the emptiness inside
I just keep on drifting
into the storm of an eye
I have left morality
to those who have no morals
I have been left arguing
with those who have no quarrels.

HTS, I have a treat for you, or maybe not. I'm listening to this week's episode and Lady Baby came up. While you probably won't like the music, may I present to you Ladybaby.

I am distraught
of all the things, the many things
This is not what I was taught
Can we stop playing capture the flag
When everybody's caught?
You can do what you want, but do you do what you ought?

Tired does not begin to describe
The lengths at which the diatribe
Has taken on a whole new elaborate meaning
Hidden behind this false
facade
What you become and who you are
Waking up and still thinking that you're dreaming
Bonus points for getting the Pink Floyd reference. 😃

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.

A short thread:
I am of the opinion that WWII started in 1931 when Japan invaded Manchuria. Then Mussolini went after Ethiopia in 1935. Then came Hitler. I think it's awful Europe centric to say it started with Hitler.
I am a fan of the quote that history doesn't repeat, it echoes.

So in the following thread, I'm going to put the lyrics to a song I wrote way back in the 90s.
I've been a metal singer/ poet for my entire adult life, and these feel to me very apt for the times. They're very harsh/ violent for those who don't like that sort of thing.
