"The Fight" a prayer

[shadowknows69]

Yes my more militant personality, Dissident, has taken over again. Enjoy or run screaming from it as you will, but ignore me at your peril

"It's only common sense. There are no accidents 'round here. I am willing; lay your hands on me. I am ready; lay your hands on me. I believe, lay your hands on me"
-Peter Gabriel

Great spirits or spirit still in human form lay your hands on me.

Heal my broken and battered form that I may stand.

Against fear, injustice, and avarice.
Against my own brother if need be.
To stop this insanity.

The walls must come down and Rome must fall
It should be very clear to us all.

The plan has failed.
Lofty ideals made by men flawed but wise
Brought down by men full of evil and greed
To see, what more do we need?

To remain aware and do nothing is guilt
So easily falls this house that Washington, Jefferson and Franklin built?
And hundreds more who left their lifeblood on floors
And barren streets; to the machine goes the meat

But it has and can be beat
No matter if the roads run red
With the blood of bluecoat or red

The last man standing must be of the light
Not Democrat or Republican
Just someone who can do what’s right
Forever dispel the darkness that we fight

Gods grant me strength and the power of words
And the skill to say what must be heard
And the time to serve justice before my time is due
Through whatever means still remain
Peaceful if that is what they’ll hear
Or by any other for the greater good.

Now is the time for humankind to decide its fate
A crossroads of time awaits the next steps and destiny watches
Grant us the power to evolve and bring order and peace to all.
Even if it must come from chaos, if thousands must fall.

A time of testing is here for every man, woman and child that can see
Will we water that Tree of Liberty or let it be cut down, branch by branch.
Until there’s only a stump. A bloody nub of a short lived land called “Freedom”
Let us restore her glory or let her burn and rise like the phoenix from the aftermath.
And start again.

Great spirits let us see this hope renewed. We ask nothing but the strength to determine our own destinies as free people should.

Freedom is free until tyrants wrest it from our grasp.
Too many for too long have chipped away at it.
Lay your hands Great spirits upon these good people of the world and heal a nation through love, not fire.
But shield us from the heat if that’s the way it goes. We ask only the power and wisdom to see justice renewed. Where the weak aren’t preyed upon and wars aren’t waged for treasure but only for defense. I will stand in any condition you allow me because I won’t die on my knees or without what I consider to be the world being free.

The tipping point has been reached. In New Orleans, in Burma, in D.C.
Not just for the nation but the world. Tyranny must die.

We stand waiting.
The rest is up to them.
Dissident

[shadowknows69]

4. oh absolutely

am i a touch melodramatic are you saying beth?

[EFerrari]

5. No, I'm not saying that. Anyway, that's my market.

:evilgrin:

[shadowknows69]

6. sadly i think the outrage will keep growing

for those of us cursed enough to be awake that is.

[EFerrari]

8. I have periods of being aware and active and, also down time, too.

So be it.

But, no way will I ever stop until these criminals are OUT of our government.

:hug: to you and yours, shadow.

[uppityperson]

7. naw, just that we are all tired of everything.

hence "sexy" topics about stupid things get lots of reads, responses, recs where if it takes too long or too much brainpower...

[shadowknows69]

9. Well when the shit hits the fan in Iran

I hope the government lets DU exist long enough for people to read the journals of some of us prophets of doom. sorry, really bleak feelings today. stronger than usual.

[uppityperson]

10. I hate being right. I am too cynical and I hate it when I am right, much prefer to eat crow

even crow pie.

[shadowknows69]

11. I may see if there are vegas odds on attacking iran

be the best money I ever laid down for a bet. I don't want to be right either. I think I should start another annoying thread pondering this.

[EFerrari]

14. That's exactly why I'm harping on impeachment.

Enough already.

And, you know we all of us go through down times. Who wouldn't, in this climate? :shrug:

[blondie58]

12. wow- shadow- when I first read this I thought-

this man is a creative genius. And then my second thought was that many genius' teeter on the brink of sanity. Now that you're crazy, my friend- but I think that you have seen and done things that this little suburban girl could never comprehend. Thank you for you rants, I enjoy them.

[EFerrari]

13. Don't forget to rate up shadow's thread so more people can see it.

:hi:

[shadowknows69]

17. The thing about having a dual personality

You are never without someone to talk to. That's a plus, but occasionally my socks don't match.

[ljm2002]

15. Nice...

...I hope it won't come to violent revolution, but that we can somehow harness the power of our numbers to stop the ruling elites from dooming us all.

[EFerrari]
