The reason Irish peasants made love in the open fields under the white light of the full moon after the wakes of their loved ones is because they were saying *******!
to Death itself.

Discussing Job, David, Samuel, Isaiah, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph with Israel on Franklin St.

               Truly, Thou art a God
                Who hidest Thyself.

I'd rather be with the people of this town
Than with the greatest people in the world!

I've feared death for so long
I hope that mine will matter

Hey batter, batter

Slow throw back to the mound
In this world I ramble and roam

Rickey on the Oakland A's
Rickey stealing home!

Fortress of Solitude
Containing Multitudes

Other people are in our dreams
And we are in theirs too

Nightmares bring forth hidden screams
The Avatar is blue

Religion is a mystery
It exists because we die

The cruelty of American history
Jefferson did lie

I don't know; no, I don't know
What's beyond the sky

Some people need religion
Others definitely don't

I fear annihilation
Some say survive we won't

Francis of Assissi
Friend to the Sultan and to birds

I prayed to him today
Please help me find the words!
