Monster

Monster
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope

Like good Christians some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled, and bore them a child
To be their spirit, and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon they went
And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end

While we bullied, stole and bought our a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled, and bore them a child
To be their spirit, and guiding light

The blue and gray they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it's share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey



Suicide
The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seemed generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't, pay it no mind

'Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'

The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand

We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner, we can't pay the cost

'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there, watching



America
America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know, we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know, we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster



America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know, we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know, we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

America, where are you now
Don't you care about your sons and daughters
Don't you know, we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

World at War

Glad I got to see Levon.

Good thing we are in Iraq, fighting with the Syrians and Iranians, against our allies the Saudis, UAE, Qatar and few others. Good plan guys. Glad we went to war. Next fuck up?

The Supreme Court decision shows why we need single payer health care.

Revolution..........

No Hillary in 2016. That will be less than an improvement by a long shot. Are we that stupid?

Will you by the Amazon cell phone?

Summer Solstice is Saturday.

Wow, Iraq is a mess. Good thing all those humans were killed for NO REASON.

Laundry.

Wow

If we listen to the war mongers, death merchants and war criminals we will be in another full scale war in Iraq. Go fuck yourselves. We do not like you and you are the reason we are hated around the world.

Summer gets here this week. In the 90's. Want to swim the Gulf.

Finally watching "The Wire". Very good, watch it on Amazon.

Nice job USA Soccer. Defense made it a little nerve racking.

Put the video on and do some stuff.

I am here

Sweet Emmy and the Hot Band doing a great version of the Chuck Berry song.

So one of the young cats living here had three kittens last week. I was down to three cats now it is back to six. The odd thing the mother is not feeding them, her mother is. Yup just like humans the grandparents are taking care of the kids.

Finally bought myself a new camera. A great point and shoot camera. It is the Sony RX100 ii.
Seems to be a great little camera so far. Now to figure out everything it does. Not even sure how to get the pictures off the camera.

My grandmother turned 92 on Friday and Paul died a year ago yesterday.

Weather has been really darn nice. Summer heat is slow in coming.

Farm fresh eggs for breakfast.
