it a great life
rat a tat tat
enjoy yourself and
like it like that
groove widda riddum
boppin down da block
move your hands & feet
as you go hip-hop
energy movin
your flesh & bones
this is your life
this is your home
smile at your neighbor
smile at the sky
life is a blessing
why ask why
something good happen
maybe soon
maybe next week
maybe next June
don't use a weapon
let go of strife
enjoy yourself
it a great life
"This is the future. You've got to live it, or live with it." The Firesign Theatre pointed this out, decades ago. Bob Dylan advised, "let us not talk falsely now, the hour's getting late." I would like to live in a country that has a decent respect for the opinions of mankind(as Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence), that cultivates just and amicable feelings towards all other nations (Washington), that listens to the better angels of our nature (Lincoln), and that takes seriously Eisenhower's warnings about the military industrial congressional financial corporate media complex (the MICFiC). I have an "Out of Iraq" sign up at my house, and hope the Bush Gang receives fair trials, with all the constitutionally mandated protections they wish to abolish for others. "You may think that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one."(John Lennon) Someone at the Nova Scotia Archives told a cousin of mine once, "We're all related - even the Chinese." I think so too. May the Creative Forces of the Universe have mercy on our souls, if any.
