Take . . .


Hey you down there on the ground
Don’t you think that it’s time 
You should fly
And do you consider the cost
Of the pride that you wear 
Like a smile

Take this moment
You’ve got here
You may not 
Get another try
Sometimes only
One chance comes around
At a time

It’s two that’s the number required
For the dance that we do
To get by
A few drag you into the mire
But they’re strong
Many wiles they devise

Doomed if you don’t learn
Farce is what you earn from the tragedy
What have we to gain
By being stubborn?

Hey you down there on the ground
Don't you think that it's time you should fly?
And do you consider the cost
Of the pride that you wear like a smile?

Take this moment you've got here
You may not get another try
Some things only come around
One time us to unite


Moment

Here . . .

. . . with you


I’ve never been one
To follow trends
I won't be with the crowd
When they round the bend
But I'll be with you
Until the very end 'cause
Where it's at is here with you

Fancy parties
Leave me cold and drained
Discos, crowds
And posturing in vain
Only feed some silly
Appetite unnamed
Where it's at is here with you

I don't want to see the moon
Fly to Paris May or June
I just want a one-way fare
To any place where
You'll be there

I don't need gold
Or precious things
Fancy clothes
Or even diamond rings
I only need the thrill
That being with you brings
Where it's at is here with you

For fame or power
I have no desire
I don't crave acceptance
Or to be admired
I'm just happy
Sitting with you by the fire
Where it's at is here with you

I don't want to see the moon
Fly to Paris May or June
I just want a one-way fare
To any place where
You'll be there


Here With You

Open . . .

. . . your eyes . . .


(from The Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Andersen)
". . . The two swindlers invited him to step closer, asking him if it wasn't a beautiful design and if the colors weren't magnificent. They pointed to the empty loom, and the poor old minister opened his eyes wider and wider. He still could see nothing, for nothing was there. "Gracious" he thought. "Is it possible that I am stupid? I have never thought so. Am I unfit for my position? No one must know this. No, it will never do for me to say that I was unable to see the material.". . . "

Bittersweet . . .

Good intentions
Blacktop and fire
Prices are paid
for things desired

Celebrate now
Celebrate always
Celebrate everything
From spark to blaze

I know you're really happy
And soon we have to fly
But we will be more together
So there's just no need to cry


Bittersweet

Apple . . .




You may think that an apple is merely a fruit

but until there's no boot you will find

that an apple, quite frankly, can be a life line

and its power almost absolute


And time marches on as the days tumble by

'come in Friday, or Sunday, or such,

takes a genius, no doubt, to revive one that's down

hope by Tuesday, again I will fly

. . . and from http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/jokes/blantiwarslogans.htm
These colors don't run the world.
One nation under surveillance.
How did our oil get under their sand?
Go Solar, not Ballistic.
Who Would Jesus Bomb?

Don't blame me, I voted with the majority.
Buck Fush!
It's NUCLEAR, not NUCULAR, you idiot!

(UFW sign) Pick Fruit, not Fights.
(On a five year old) More Candy Less War.
Say can you see my democracy?
(With pictures of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld) Asses of Evil.
It's the oil, stupid.

The only thing we have to fear is Bush himself.
How many Lives per Gallon?
Patriots are idiots! Matriarchy Now!

Anything war can do, peace can do better.
Negotiation Not Annihilation.
Another patriot for peace.
Drop Bush, Not Bombs
Oh Say can You Cease?
Star Spangled Bummer
Don't Arm a Son of a Bush
Don't do it George, Dad will still love you.
Power to the Peaceful
The last time we listened to a Bush, we wandered in the desert for 40 years.

Stupid Liberals!!!. . .

. . . What were THEY thinking? . . .


 
(from http://www.examiner.com/article/liberals-fall-for-fake-story-claiming-sarah-palin-said-flight-370-flew-to-heaven)
The Daily Currant, an online publication that clearly calls itself an "online satirical newspaper," published a fake story that said Sarah Palin claimed Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 "may have vanished because it mistakenly flew too high and ended up in heaven." Predictably, a number of Palin-hating liberals were apparently unable to discern fact from fantasy and attacked the former governor over something that never happened, Twitchy reported Monday.
