More happy . . .

Want to be happy
Listen here
What would you pay to
Have no fear
Fear of the raptor
Roaming free
Fear of a captor
You or me
Do you fear having your choices
All being taken away

There was a turmoil
We could see
Under the table
Had to be
Way far beyond us
In the fray
We wore the blinders
They slipped away
So many promises made
To a misguided parade of the innocent

Circumstances pushed so many over the edge
Sideways glances directed to drive in a wedge

Want to be happy
Bet you do
Want to be happy
In the things you do
All’s not the same as it used to be
Conscious effort will help us break free

Happy

Insert . . .

. . . 'musician' in place of comic

(from The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell by W. Kamau Bell)
". . . Many of these comics were feature acts who went on before the headliners, so they weren't getting paid the most money. But there was enough money being made in the '80s that feature acts could make a living, something that is impossible now unless you have some sort of mom's basement/living-out-of-your-car situation. And forget having kids or wanting to save money. There's a dwindling middle class in comedy just like there is a dwindling middle class in America . . . "

News . . .

News for the many
And news for the few
Over and over
Fantastic still true

Its bad and its worse
But oncoming it is
'Til I've heard about all
I can take of all this

The principles displayed
By the ones with the power
To accomplish some good
Are now well past their flower

I hope there's still hope
Causing its hoping I do
And I'm doing it constantly
But my hopes approach few

Unless more folks can realize
The great value of fact
And can care bout each other
and accordingly act

Nothing . . .

. . . new . . .

(from Friends Divided: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson by Gordon S. Wood)
". . . But most despairing to Adams were the 'Personal hatreds and Party Animosities' that consumed the capital. . ."

Celebrate . . .

(from Friends Divided: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson by Gordon S. Wood)

". . . Adams thought the really important decision for independence had been taken on Julh 2, when the Congress voted to break away from the British empire. "The Second Day of July," he told Abigail, "will be the most memorable Epocha in the History of America." He believed that it "would be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great Anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by Solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.". . .

Despond . . .

"If we despond, public confidence is destroyed, the people will no longer yield their support to a hopeless contest, and American liberty is no more. Through the darkness which shrouds our prospects, the ark of safety is visible. Despondency becomes not the dignity of our cause, nor the character of those who are its supporters."
-Samuel Adams
