Author's Commentary
Wrote this because I am. Includes sme good quotes, too. Enjoy, and understand to the fullest.
To hold a pen
Is to be at war
Voltaire
Outspoken by have-nots
Players at empty slots
Lonely by my own choice
Lonely by God’s choice
Own the world, own the lands
Form the groups, form the bands
Collaboration often fails
Government often bails
Just grip the pen, grip your present
Take hold the enemy, engage dissent
Moral courage-
Not afraid to say or do what you believe is right
Bernard Montgomery
Strength is overrated
I just demonstrated
You can get a mile wit’ lifting
But a thousand more wit’ riffing
I don’t understand the opposition
You don’t witness my glass oppression
Love won’t tear my life apart
Music will always win my heart
Keep the ears and eyes open wide
Think real hard when you’re picking sides
Don’t pretend you’re the greatest thing
Lack of self is all it brings
First say to yourself what you would be;
And then do what you have to do
Epictetus
Proud to even have a name
Proud to resist being lame
Overpower the prayers, the conform
Oversee the destruction of norms
Socially unacceptable
Politically intolerable
This is what comes with opinion
This is from my own jurisdiction
Leave it be, they said to me
Nobody knows, nobody sees
I’ll make them look, I’ll make them cry
I’ll let her search, her heart will die
If liberty means anything at all,
It means the right to tell people
What they don’t want to hear
George Orwell
