Always Already Free: digital chautaquas from HereNow
Here I find it is the photos that lead me into writing something, sharing some response, reflection, rant.... whatever. If I can ever figure out this "blogging for idiots" template I will add a comments section so that it becomes more of a diologue.....that's juicier for me than just a digital soap-box.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts.
...and we are never, ever the same.

Miss Liberty turn inna Jezzabelle
All de dreams you go sell, de whole dem turn inna hell
Her bed of roses are filled with thorns
Her righteous robes are tattered and torn
If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
She wouldn’t have to hide her shame
If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
But now she’s burnt us all with her flames
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
The land of the free built on slavery
Our consciousness in captivity
The promise land is the liar’s den
Your culture of greed has got to end
Now we’re laying in the mud
Looking up above
Tear water just ah drop from the sky
They try to keep us in the mud
Separating us from love
But me nah go let dem conquer de I
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life

Shame on you.
That's it, you "christian" cad, hang that empty, guilty head of yours.
...you little confused boy in a man's body...
...your undersized mind in an oversized job...
...you stunted cold heart in a massive precious world...
Shame on you.
Shame on us.
Tonight i watch this KGB thug, live on moscow TV, put you to shame
Like you and your neo-con cadre he's a power greedy pig but...
he doesn't pretend to give a damn about his poor
he doesn't giggle or stammer when talking about his wars
he doesn't have script writers to pen and polish his lies
Tonight i watched you on CNN
...left in the dust by a smarter tyrant.
Shame on us!
Time's up.
People of Russia... People of America... People of the world....
WHEN will we be done with these ridiculous bullies?
When will we grow-up and obviate such insulting stooges?
We deserve such grotesque monsters
They are our punishment
...for not being conscious enough
...for not being responsible enough
...for being so lazy
...for being so selfish
Ask the poor...
Ask the planet...
Ask the gental...
Ask yourSELF if you don't agree that...
TIME IS UP!

Awash in your Light
Oh Lovers...

O lovers, lovers it is time
to set out from the world.
I hear a drum in my soul's ear
coming from the depths of the stars.
Our camel driver is at work;
the caravan is being readied.
He asks that we forgive him
for the disturbance he has caused us,
He asks why we travelers are asleep.
Everywhere the murmur of departure;
the stars, like candles
thrust at us from behind blue veils,
and as if to make the invisible plain,
a wondrous people have come forth.
