    Hey Commy I wanted to send you a PM but I couldn't....

    Every Single Soul....Michael Franti and SPEARHEAD

    No matter where I roam
    whoa-oh I know every single soul is poem
    written on the back of God's hand

    Ya see Moms and Pops be copulatin'
    plantin' seeds and pickin' weeds for another season
    another reason for livin' another reason for givin'
    another reason for lovin' and tryin' stay out of prison
    'cause everything in life can't be nice and
    everything you want can't be got
    but the lessons on patient be causing the pressure to rise
    and make some people suicidal
    Oh no! another soul, has lost control
    we pull him back into the fold
    he got strung out on the material
    all the superficial initials upon his clothes
    they make me wanna go Sprewell
    every time I see my family locked in jail
    uh-huh, the economical can be demonical
    keep love in your soul

    Ya see people are so beautiful in love
    that's why I'm reminded of life's precious moments every time
    I see lovers walkin' by in the park
    close my eyes and I stop reminisce
    to see a little baby suckin' on his mama's
    milk-ey silky smoothness of a lovin' caress holdin' baby to breast
    and blessin' the world with another to test, test, test
    oh-yes, oh-yes Bom-bom!
    I'd like to sing a little song
    dedicated to the people who would like to sing along
    'cause every little song has little beats and notes
    like every little lake has little trees and boats
    all people deserve a safe and warm home
    'cause every single soul is a poem

    Right from the start in a world torn apart
    a baby's love leaves finger prints upon the heart
    so many think it, but never say it
    "why bring a child to this planet full of hatred?"
    they might not make it like the youngest departed
    or worst of all they might become a part of it
    involved in it, perpetuating violence, violence
    and growing up in silence
    seein' things they don't know how to deal with
    and learnin' ways, to try to cope with it
    cope with it, cope with it
    and not lose hope


    Peace

    Love this story...follow along 8-)

    I Wish That I could Be You...Michael Franti & Spearhead

    I wish that I could be you,
    for a moment or two.
    And you could be me ,
    if you wanted to see,
    what it's like in my shoes.

    Chillin' on a corner cause I gotta kill an hour.
    I see a pretty sister over purchasing some flowers.
    She walks into the grocery, so I take a step and follow.
    She gives me funny feelings in my throat and so I swallow.
    Afraid to approach her, I stand goofy in the isle.
    Shopkeeper starring, but he don't give me know smile.
    He says,"customers only boy, leave if your not buying."
    I turn around to him and say,

    Outside a night club, got know invitation.
    A limosine pulls up, ya know it's causing made comotion.
    So I move alittle closer, maybe see a superstar.
    Just to catch a glimpse of who's coming out the car.
    A man steps out, you know he's dress up like Mac the knife.
    He had a taste of the plastic things in life.
    Mad clothes, fine women, spent the rest on gettig high.
    Laughed at other folks along the way just gettig by.
    I eased up through the crowd just so I could see his face.
    His two security goons come knock me on my ace.
    I say," Yo man you ain't gotta do that, I ain't trying to rock your world."
    And at that same moment I see that pretty girl.
    The one from the grocery, I saw buying flowers.
    Steps out the limo and her face looks kind of sour.
    Plastic man grabs her arm and walks away.
    I sit up, look at him and say'

    That girl looks so damn fine,
    I thought I'd never get her off my mind.
    So I walk around to the back alley,
    Try to sneek into the party.
    I zoom in like binoculars on something that did shock me.
    That plastic man he had that girl up against the wall.
    He was all up in her face, his fist up in a ball.
    I said,"Yo man you better leave that nice young girl alone."
    And he smacked her one more time and said,"oh what, you want some."
    He took a swing at me,
    I ducked, hit him with an uppercut,
    knocked him on his butt like he got struck by mac the truck.
    He grabbed the sisters shoulders
    and then he slammed her to the ground.
    Crack, a deadly sound, red blood soiled the ground.
    Sister wounded, I took in my arms.
    I started praying that she would not be gones.
    I heard sirens going off in my head,
    and I whispered in her ear and said,

    I wish I could be you,
    for a moment or two,
    and you could be me if you wanted to see
    just what I think of you.


    Peace

    Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
    Forget the dead you’ve left, they will not follow you
    The vagabond who’s rapping at your door
    Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
    Strike another match, go start anew
    And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

    Creativity - Yeah! Yeah!

    The rhymes of revolution
    Poetry written in gasoline
    The rhymes of revolution
    Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

    Manipulate the obvious
    Cowards bought by traditionalist manners
    Scream at the herd that are heard the most
    Without substance and with useless... banners
    Banners, banners, banners

    Your art, your art, is worth, is worth nothing
    Like a city with no meaning
    Like a city, with no meaning, with no meaning
    Your creation holds, holds no hope

    The rhymes of revolution
    Yeah! Yeah!
    The rhymes of revolution
    Poetry written in gasoline
    Poetry written in gasoline
    Poetry written in gasoline
    Ah! Yeah!

    When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
    And when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow
    From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
    To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
    When we’ve lost our will

    That’s how we’ll know
    This is not a test, oh no
    This is cardiac arrest
    Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
    We're crashing into the ground as all fall from grace

    When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
    When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
    When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and
    The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
    What more will it take

    For us to know
    This is not a test, oh no
    This is cardiac arrest
    Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
    Kissing the ground as well fall from grace

    This is a chance to set things straight
    To bend or break the rules back into place
    There is no middle ground, no compromise, we’ve drawn the line
    With perfect aim, we stand back and throw
    Glass windows break and it’s all about to blow
    Lights go out as we pass the torch again
    In hope that it stays lit

    Neutrality means that you don’t really care
    Cause the struggle goes on even when you’re not there
    Blind and unaware

    That’s how we’ll know
    This is not a test, oh no
    This is cardiac arrest
    Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
    We're crashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all, all fall from grace
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    a perfect cirlce - the noose

    So glad to see you well
    Overcome a nd completely silent
    Now with heaven's help
    You cast your demons out

    And not to pull your halo down
    Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
    But I'm more than just a little curious
    How you're planning to go about making your amends
    To the dead
    To the dead

    Recall the deeds as if they're all
    Someone else's atrocious stories
    Now you stand reborn before us all
    So glad to see you well

    And not to pull your halo down
    Around your neck and tug you to the ground
    But I'm more than just a little curious
    How you're planning to go about making your amends
    To the dead
    To the dead

    With your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping
    Your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping down
    Your halo slipping down
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    A blinding flash of white light
    Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
    People running for cover
    Not knowing whether they're dead or alive

    They came with their tanks and their planes
    With ravaging fiery flames
    And nothing remains
    Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

    We will not go down
    In the night, without a fight
    You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
    But our spirit will never die
    We will not go down
    In Gaza tonight

    Women and children alike
    Murdered and massacred night after night
    While the so-called leaders of countries afar
    Debated on who's wrong or right

    But their powerless words were in vain
    And the bombs fell down like acid rain
    But through the tears and the blood and the pain
    You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

    We will not go down
    In the night, without a fight
    You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
    But our spirit will never die
    We will not go down
    In Gaza tonight

    A choice must be made!

    In these times of war today
    A choice must be made that no one wants to make
    The result is inevitable
    No one wins but a side must be taken

    It's them or us, we don't want it this way
    Death is certain and lives are at stake
    Whose children must die? Whose buildings must fall?
    No one can see eye to eye, all we see is hate

    Our freedom fighters are their terrorists
    Their heroes are our nemesis

    Peace! Is! Not!
    Peace is not an option!
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    Life During Wartime.....Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day)

    Yeah, we say making changes
    starts in the little things you do
    "Revolution begins at home"
    But for most of us, it ends there too
    We're doing something
    We're making changes
    Like changing the brand of crap we buy
    We say it makes a difference
    but that's just another lie
    It used to be "us" and "them"
    And you and me
    And now we can't reach
    our full potential
    without a common enemy
    A real war to fight against
    Instead of our petty disagreements
    But how can I rationalize
    My life during wartime lie

    A call to action and a reaction
    Taking our lives into our own hands
    Instead of sitting aroung talking
    about the same old shitty bands
    But war is going on right now
    and I'm not doing anything about it
    Without a crowd, I'm not so loud
    I can't do anything by myself
    but that's just another lie
