Where do we go from here?
Which way should we go?
?Tfel eht ot
freedom individualistic
freedom from gov.t interVention
in your life time industry will be made to pay
the evils of corporate policy will not be tolerated
unless of course they directly benefit me
to the right
freedom capitalistic
freedom failure bolstered by
new deal welfare in your life time you will recall McCarthy
the evils of personal pleasure will not be tolerated
unless of course they directly benefit me
Down the middle
Tao
Down with Tao
you got to get up and move around
got to get up for the get down
curiosity kills by nine it's allright if you lie down
but what if you want to get back up again
sometimes you got to just step over the line
to remind yourself it's there
and it's theirs
and Its there
Who could ever plan for the end
how could you know
It is our irresistible river that flows
a beginning but an end
we all love the water
its the migration of souls
myology genealogy his-story
our street our names a mystery
how these powerful gods became
rolls into one ball of string
that is gaining speed
flowing toward the ocean
melting like glaciers
smashing bananas and kites
along away here today
