a method to the madness

“I’ve learned some lessons in my life
Lessons in my life
Always be careful of mankind
Be careful of mankind
They make promises today
But tomorrow change their mind
They make promises today
But tomorrow change their mind

I’m an upfull man
I love upfull people
I’m a progressive man
I love progressive people
I’m a conscious man
I love conscious people
I’m an honest man
And I love honest people
I’m a determined man
And I love determined people
I’m a genuine man
And I love genuine people, yeah”
-Peter Tosh (Lessons In My Life)

“Mistaken Identity”
-Vernon Reid (Instrumental)

outside the realm
of formula
of the familiar
of formality
of fiscals
of folly
or foundation
one must
find one’s own way
through the
wilderness
of indecision
and the insult
of mortal indifference
and the weapons developed
to make us insignificant

if one thing
positive
was ever gained
from the horror of 911
it was the
beauty
of looking up at
peaceful, resting,
empty skies –
a break
from all the business
of mortals
and the sounds
of never-ending cries

each
has to find
their own way
through this valley of death
because
in the
apex
of barbarity
madness
is the only reality
