some lessons for today

"can't think of turning back clocks, can't run for what has been lost and we can't sulk in what once drowned us, 'cause we will drown again

and cease to win the constant battles that we wake up with. now stronger and warned, we should live without scorn and renew what we can.

no year could cut us like that one
if we don't sit and drown in wonder.
time passed, we failed, we crashed,
but who's to say we can't start over?

start now, start right,
stay strong, stay tight,
and we can rise side by side"
- "where we belong," hot water music

"why don't we plant a mechanic virus and erase the memory of the machines that maintain this capitalist dynasty?
and yes, i recognize the irony that the system i oppose affords me the luxury of biting the hand that feeds.
but that's exactly why priviledged fucks like me should feel obliged to whine and kick and scream- until everyone has everything they need."
- "resisting tyrannical government," propaghandi

"but how could they do this to me?
born head first and brought up ankle deep.
and maybe you're a lot like me - identified for 14 years without a choice.
terrified the morning you woke up and realized that if and when you jump ship,
you either swim for shore or drown. don't let the fuckers drag you down."
- "i was a preteen mccarthyist," propagandhi
