Stick . . .


Stick to your guns.
Stick to your guns.
Don't let nobody make you run.
Just stick to your guns.

I'm not talking 'bout weapons,
Automatic and such.
If you have some conviction,
Principles mean so much.
Principles mean so much.

I just want to sing.
Hear the many vibrations ring.
Maybe my music's not your kind of thing.
I've got to get the others listening.
I've got to get the others listening.

It's a human thing,
We're easily led when there are two or three.
Two is company and three is a crowd.
A group of voices can be very loud.
The other voices can be very loud.

Odd . . .

. . . and somewhat revealing comments by some police representatives, I believe

(from https://www-nytimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/04/21/us/george-floyd-verdict-police-reaction.amp.html?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA %3D#aoh= 16192032304758&csi=0&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2021%2F04%2F21%2Fus%2Fgeorge-floyd-verdict-police-reaction.html)
". . . “They’re thinking, ‘Man, I’ve got to think long and hard before I get out of my car and get into something I don’t have to get into,’” said Jim Pasco, the executive director of the national Fraternal Order of Police. . . Police unions historically have been the staunchest defenders of officers, even those accused of wrongdoing. They did not defend Mr. Chauvin, but some used the verdict as an occasion to criticize public figures who have scrutinized the police. The Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis said in a statement that it wanted “to reach out to the community and still express our deep remorse for their pain” and that “there are no winners in this case.”. . ."

Soup . . .

                                              
From the alphabet soup of recent American politics . . . 

(from https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/04/05/ron-watkins-qanon-hbo/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&twclid=11385547572127969280)
". . . The identity of Q, the supposed top-secret government operative and prophet of the extremist ideology QAnon, has for years been a fiercely debated mystery. But a possible slip-up in a new documentary suggests the answer was always the most obvious one: Ron Watkins, the longtime administrator of the message board 8kun, the conspiratorial movement’s online home.. . . "


(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8chan)
". . . 8kun, previously called 8chan, Infinitechan or Infinitychan (stylized as ∞chan), is an imageboard website composed of user-created message boards. An owner moderates each board, with minimal interaction from site administration. After going offline in August 2019, the site rebranded itself as 8kun and was relaunched in November 2019. . . The site has been linked to white supremacism, neo-Nazism, the alt-right, racism and antisemitism, hate crimes, and multiple mass shootings. The site was known for hosting child pornography; as a result, it was filtered out from Google Search. Several of the site's boards played an active role in the Gamergate controversy, encouraging Gamergate affiliates to frequent 8chan after 4chan banned the topic. 8chan is the home of the discredited far-right QAnon conspiracy theory. . .

Certainly . . .

. . . not

I know a man who tries too hard
Cause he wants to be liked both near and far.
But it's not all that simple a story to tell.
And I'm sure it all started way back when
He was only a child.
The whole world laying ahead of him,
He couldn't get what he craved.
An uphill battle awaited.
Then something clicked inside.

Maybe he's okay.
Not quite as bad as he seems.
Am I expecting too much? 
It's not intentionally,
Maybe it isn't polite
Looking so critically.
Maybe I do it because
He's just not like me.

I know a man who talks so much.
He's got nothing to say but it's never enough.
And it's like second nature, he's as social can be.
But the topic is always strictly 'bout 'me'.
From his self-centered view;
His egoist perspective,
Subject of interest he's found
His world revolving around him.
The real one beyond his touch,
Along with people there too.

Please won't you understand.
I don't want every man
Doing just what I would do,
Or moving the way that I move
Or the way that I sit or stand.

Extremes . . .


Just look at the morning paper
And tell me what you see.
Is something very wrong
Or maybe my eyes deceive me?
Somewhere in the local section;
A buried paragraph;
Someone who had the time to care
And the character to act.

The higher the highs,
The lower the lows,
The older I get
That's the way that it goes.
The more that I think that I want
The less that I need,
Because I realize how precious
And how short
This time with you may be.

When you're young and your biggest worry's
What game you want to play.
Such innocence is just surpassed
By the naivete.
Take good with the worst
And better.
You know they're not the same.
Youth somehow brings them all together.
Different they are
But subtle the shades.

Youth really is only wasted,
If never you've tasted
All the bitter, as well as sweet.

I hope you don't misunderstand me
Or what I want to say.
It's nothing revolutionary.
Ignorance won't make this go away.
Nobody likes a busybody.
Nobody knows it all.
There's one thing I can tell you certain,
Take none for granted 
Short or the tall.
