I am not the sham of slam I am not the crap of rap I am not art grant speakism And I'll never be any of that I am but a simple man With my blood and tears and sweat I don't compromise with seductive lies And I'm not too impressed with threats Give me truth and honesty Don't run it by slick and fast Face to face grace to grace Show me that love that'll last Neils 7:21 pm 10/26/2004
Let us gather our back packs and tools Let us hone our intelligence and skills Let us not be the useful idiot fools That as they lay in their beds are killed Let us rise up with the sun Let us stalk the night with the moon Let us our good works get done For soon we will be singing the Swords bloody tune Neils 4:53 am 06/15/2011
But in the everyday simple things
The beans and cheese and meat
The fact that the roads are clear
And there are still good people to meet
We must all learn to carry on
And it is at times very painfully true
That the weather is not the only cold
And the sky is not the only one blue

Really like the last stanza. It's short and it delivers!
Thank you Azka
