Good new tune.

Heidis Marathon

After months of long runs, lots of doubts and reflection I finished another milestone conquoring the 26.2 mile beast. In my training and then running a marathon I realized that I am not special or unique anyone can do what I did today, it is all a matter of setting your mind to something and not STOPPING (literally today) until your reach that goal. I know this even more today than ever after seeing all the different people competing not against eachother but against the "beast!" There was an older couple, saying older kindly, that was shuffle along the marathon together to be the very last to finish, but they finished! Anyone can do what I did today, it all goes back to my mauntra to get through all those long runs "I CAN FOR THOSE WHO WON'T"

Old Revolutionary to the New

For you T-Man.



The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid,
And the marshals and cops get the same,
But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool.
He's taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
'Bout the shape that he's in
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks,
And the hoof beats pound in his brain.
And he's taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back
With his fist in a clinch
To hang and to lynch
To hide 'neath the hood
To kill with no pain
Like a dog on a chain
He ain't got no name
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught.
They lowered him down as a king.
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He'll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain:
Only a pawn in their game.

Same.............Old...................Thing

If you are up there watching tonight would be a good night for one of these....


life is much too short
to sit and wonder
who's gonna make the next move
and will slowly pull you under
when you've always got
something to prove

i don't want to wait a lifetime
yours or mine
can't you see me reaching
for the lifeline

you say that i misheard you
but i think you misspoke
i hear you laugh so loudly
while i patiently await the joke

i don't want to wait a lifetime
not yours
not mine
can't you see me reaching
for the lifeline

it's a crime with only victims
we're all laid out in a row
and it's hardest to listen
to what we already should know

i could hold out for a lifetime
yours or mine
yours and mine
can't you see me reaching for
your lifeline
