I grow old, I grow old, "...Shall I wear my trousers rolled.... Shall I dare eat a peach? Shall I walk upon the beach? (T.S. Eliot)
No matter what, I can say the Grass Roots love me and I love them back, honest, true, traumatized, yet still true to the game, no shame, honest, grass roots. In my face, eye ball to eye ball, listen they pray, listen to my pain, sorrow, please listen, no one listens to my pain, sorrow, please listen!!!!!!!
Entonces, silencia por favor, silencia, digame, digame,speak to me!
Ah, the life of a revolutonary, exiled.
Exiled, the worst of possible feelings, situations, apart from your people, can't get back with them, your tribe against tribalism, yet your people, no matter how deaf dumb and blind they are, your people like no other, your tribe, family, nation, pan is fine, we pan, yet still tribal, tribe is family, clans, tribe, nation, no shame, we family, no kill no shoot, love family, I appreciate you, brother; appreciate you, sister!
The revolution continues unto the next generation of understanding.
