#histories
We’re stronger together, Boy, girl, Man, woman Them, other... Why would you think you’re superior? Why would you think you’re spectacular? Our histories are woven, Whether we like it or not... There’s no time for malice that widens our rot - Because this is where they want you; under their thumb in their cot... But when you speak up, with nothing but the truth– they’re shot... And this is what we’ve got... Act now or flop... No time for comfort in your clan, Measure this wing span... We can still fly out of here if we want... Stop judgements based on immediate response... Or watch each other die, In sweltering springtime, spying through stick masks of spite...

Stick masks of spite
I was a ****** hopping trains, Strung out on morphine When they hired me at the mine. That same story Is much like mine, Only there were other guys. No, in mine too. They orchestrated and I played instrument, They used me as a patsy for their wasteful deeds. Did they have you use an explosive device? Did they have you use a pistol? Did you shoot with a rifle? Did they give you poison? I sailed the rivers in a basket, And my sight was not obscured by the reeds. Overhead, the clouds cleared And in my heart was a compass Which lent to me direction Under these starry skies. I sampled all the miseries & delights, I encompassed all of life: I was a clap & echo in time.

Three Tramps, Salem, Horsley
What were the temples Of the tribes, Judea Brothels of slave Shepards Of child lovers And Christiandom was it's continuation, post revolt Back it all goes back to Rome Further back than that To Greece But ultimately the nomads who settled In the land we call Egypt These are the freaks The monsters throughout history Who eat of their own young and Lay with them Who manipulated what were the Pagans Who continued on slavery, after the End of its practice. Cybele & Attis, The cults that taught Drugging as a tool To manipulate behavior Bend the rules, in their favor Far off in Europe and since The civil war, in America And it was Truman's gang That hijacked us They have been hijacking Various belief and countries, For as long as there have been them. We got back control With some of us Americans getting in And then they shot that young man Going through Dallas, Texas And ever since, it has been Foreign elements pulling strings Foul false Americans Because they made of us Of our conservative society One of shame, one of privacy Where normal people like you and me Are afraid to speak out for what is right In the face of ignorance In the stead of savagery They blackmailed and extorted our politicians Right before our very eyes I tell you, wake up Be political, and only trust Americans Including our southern siblings Common people like us Who merely wish to live free lives

ta ma na (love is ours to know)
the highway on which you escape has a placard, green with destinations: 90 miles, 140 the 50 asphalt measures between the two raw with hope, or despair, depending on who is there, flying past stubborn mesquite, doomed steers, and sagging shacks with graveyard stories you always return, not having found what you never lost the sign coming back on the same tarred trail tells how many there are, of you, one hundred thousand, six hundred, forty two though you may be only one who knew you departed, maybe tomorrow another you will crank the engine and turn the wheel, accelerate while you still can, until your gas burns out, or the road rips a bald tire, a ruptured reminder you can't leave it all behind
