We are pack United as one, we attack Nothing can stand before the wolf pack A pack united is unstoppable But a lone wolf is trivial End to end, we ruled the map If you thought you were free, it was only a trap And if were satiated, we might even cap But there was a shift in power, and the STDs ruled from above Death poured down from on high And "cancer" was written in the sky These big guns divided the pack We became lone wolves, and trivial We cannot stand before this attack We remember when we were united as a wolf pack We were pack

World of Tanks - Poem to my Old Squad
The second guarantees the first; it protects us from the worst Thomas Jefferson knew this, he expected us to prove this The only right which guarantees all the others, Given to us by our brothers in principle Expected to continue the tradition, We’ll fight when pushed too far, for our descendants we’ll wear the scar Perhaps we’ll die in the fight, but what is our life if we have no might? For the freedom of our children we’ll risk our lives, We know the tyranny throughout history upon those who surrendered their rights Absolute power corrupted their rulers and turned them into abusers Now take courage and stand strong, show them our training is life long Shoulder to shoulder stand together against adversity Show our resolve and the problem may dissolve Pray to God for a peaceful reply, and you may know peace by and by But if the time to fight is for us no longer a controversy, have no mercy! Fight with all your might and keep freedom in sight Respect our founding fathers and our descendants, Keep your morals and fight for what’s right, Don’t bring shame on your cause or you’ve already lost And if your blood is shed, remember: without freedom you were already dead

Second Amendment
Ours sins were as scarlet, so we walked on red carpet But that couldn’t hide, hide what’s inside He exposed our sin, exposed our heart Left us bleeding, a wound we couldn’t heal But His needle was the cross, and His thread was the blood-the blood of the Lamb

Sins as Scarlet
She’s lost, though here – already gone When you embrace her, you embrace the air Who she is, who she was – what does it matter? Her laugh is a memory, her presence helps not She was never here, it’s just an illusion We tell ourselves: she’s really here! Be that as it may, she wills to not. She was born the slave of another Loosen the reigns? He will not. Though you try, though you cry, Your prayers fall on deaf ears – so it seems, anyway Your God is listening, but forces none She must see, she must believe She can’t see: she’s fading away Though here, she’s really not. ‘Tis a memory, she sees it not. She races to and fro, she loves and shares Yet living, she’s certainly a ghost For what is her existence but a memory? Though she’s now, soon she’s past Forever gone, forever lost A creature made in the likeness of her creator, Made to be, rather than be not She chose to not, she chose to live But wouldn’t see in living, she was really not Now you have eternity to forget: She was there, though she was not

She never was
My view just as yours, no better or worse Everyone’s right in his eyes Of nothing I’m sure except there is nothing sure A contradiction in itself, certainty of complete uncertainty! I do as I please, and despite what you say, I will not seize Do my actions make you feel distraught? Change my ways, you cannot! The earth goes around, some may say; and others the reverse It’s neither here nor there; it’s all based on what you can bear! Of all things I know I’m right, because I feel them in my heart How dare you disbelieve me? My faith makes me care free! Be released from your prison, release your mind and be set free! There is nothing absolute in life, only what kills your internal strife You cannot offend me, in my beliefs I am firm – they are shaped after me! Like my god - I am a clone, he looks just like me! I overlook my deity, by defining god I become He. My god would do no other, I am right and he can do no wrong – did I stutter? How do I know I’m not wrong? Because I am head strong My defenses are fully placed, my time to doubt I will not waste I am right in my own eyes; we tell ourselves all kinds of lies In the end, this it changed: our life and after have been exchanged

Relativism
I was a lonely stranger On the side of the road You clothed me in scarlet And my sin was my garment Because I was once a harlot, You knew at seducing, I was an artist. I was a lonely stranger On the side of the road Because those ol' friends are so easy to bend They came and they went, like our odds and ends. My old friends, did you know she would steal your hearts? She played the parts so well, she became your all, all on course. I am a lonely stranger On the side of the road My friend was a lonely stranger, he never saw the danger. On the side of the road, he became one with nature. Now his container is at my feet, reminding me of my greed. I was a man on the golden street, 'til I did this evil deed.

Lonely stranger
Have you said the sinner’s prayer? If not, do it on a dare! Your heart does not matter, just open your mouth and chatter Sin is not important, just say the words – the rest is unimportant! I’ll even think for thee; just say this prayer after me! This mantra is our way; it’s our spray and pray! Join our fray and don’t forget to tithe, this is the method we’ve devised Now I add another chalk mark, unaware you’re living in the dark To my pastor I’ll proclaim all I’ve done today: brought in a dozen more strays! I’m not sure why they don’t stay, it must be the pastor’s fault anyway. A gospel easy to believe, just be open to receive My pastor says I’ve got it wrong; I should open my bible before too long Maybe I’ll find another church instead, surely he misread Now I’m gone and his church flourishes, converts true who get their nourishment I opened my bible today; perhaps I’ve led them astray I hope I can undo all of this; is it too late for their bliss?

Sinner’s prayer
You were a friend faithful and true, but in your eyes: of evil I was a preview The path I took brought you to feel fear and disdain But if you could see from my view, you’d see my efforts are not vain I wonder what became of you, and whether you think of our old debut It wasn’t grand, but it seemed part of the predestined plan For that time I’m thankful, because of you I grew more faithful I remember your fervor for God, and in that I am still awed Lives on different paths, perhaps in the next we’ll walk together

Different Paths
Confined to the womb, living – yet alone As we came, so shall we go To this world we enter, our accounts empty with souls full of hope We’re small and weak, then we’re big and strong We’re lonely and afraid, but we become loved and brave Without direction, without purpose, we find our way As we came, now we are going – but in reverse, it’s certainly a curse: Our accounts are empty, the optimism fades Now are we small and weak, though we were strong Once we were loved, but now we’re lonely and afraid Without direction, without purpose, we have lost our way As we came, so have we gone Confined to the grave, we die alone

Confined
We just met but I enjoyed your company You were with child and you seemed just a little wild We spoke only a few times, but I enjoyed those times You seemed happy and ecstatic; I wonder if it was just automatic That you wanted to exit never occurred to me, I guess you wanted to be set free It’s hard to see any light when you’ve made a mistake; you couldn’t wait for daybreak Was the pain too much to bear, couldn’t you find someone who cared? Did you suffer in the last moments, did regret this too? Now you’re gone and your child is too, what if you had it to redo? Would you return and live the life you were meant to have? Would our conversations grow old together, would we be strong against the weather? Would your glowing countenance be true, your precious moments not just a few? I wonder about the life your child would have had, Would your child be like you, would she share your world view? For a memory of the old times, you now live in these rhymes.
