Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Awesome song. I’ve only ever purchased about 10 iTunes songs and this is one of them.
“Joe” by Five Times August (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMYx3FrjKIM) is another one. “Blood on My Hands” by Five For Fighting too (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpTrYHCmwOs) Gotta support these anti-communist artists.

The most desolate and angry Fourth I have ever known.
The true reason for the January 6 persecutions and false imprisonments were a preemptive action to deter open protest. To strike fear into the hearts of the administrations enemies, which is the majority of the country. People dragged out of their homes all over the nation and tossed into a pit in the belly of the Federal Beast.
This Federal Government must be destroyed, not ridden in turn.
Wonderful song. We’re not the only ones, but it’s a sad turn of events to have to contemplate on this Independence Day weekend.
Am I the only one, here tonight
Shaking my head, and thinking something ain’t right
Is it just me? Am I losing my mind?
Am I standing on the edge of the end of time?
Am I the only one? Tell me I’m not
Who thinks that taking all the good we got
And turning it bad, hell I’ll be damned
I think I’m turning into my old man
Am I the only one, willing to bleed?
Take a bullet for being free
Screamin’, “What the fuck!” at my TV
For tellin’ me, yeah, are you tellin’ me?
That I’m the only one, willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue burning on the ground
Another statue coming down in a town near you
Watching the threads of Old Glory come undone
Am I the only one not brainwashed?
Making my way through the land of the lost
Who still gives a shit, and worries about his kids
As they try to undo all the things he did?
Am I the only one who can’t take no more?
Screaming, “If you don’t like it, there’s the fucking door”
This ain’t the freedom we have been fighting for
It was something more, yeah, it was something more
Am I the only one willing to fight
For my love of the red and white?
And the blue burning on the ground
Another statue coming down in a town near you
Watching the threads of Old Glory come undone
Not the only one
I can’t be the only one
Am I the only one who quits singing along
Every time they play a Springsteen song?
Am I the only one sitting here
Still holding on, holding back my tears
For the ones who paid with the lives they gave
God bless the U.S.A.
I’m not the only one willing to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burning on the ground
Another statue coming down in a town near you
Watching the threads of Old Glory come undone
I’m not the only one
I can’t be the only one

Would someone please give me a ring when we turn songs into action. I love music,,,,,awesome song.
May even play it in my headphones while I’m Ranging twice, Double checking my Density Altitude , and Wind direction,,,,,,,, running all thru my shoot computer, dialing my dope.
At that point, I want to only hear my breath slowing to zero,,,,,,,the surprise break of my trigger, my targets head making the bullet on melon sound.
You know the Splattttttttt, play Misty for me,,,,,,sound!. Pick up my brass, tidy up my hide hole. Depart via a different route then I walked in on.
Egress,,,, all while thanking god for yet another dead communist on my lengthy target list.
Sadly we are out of options. Wash rinse repeat all across this great nation. 10.000 Dorners.
Re that bit about tidying up your hide hole: Perchance your DNA is in a database somewhere.
Insurrections against state actors with C21 biotech, let alone the obvious big data stuff, are going to be an education. Still, there’s older folks with terminal diagnoses who might feel inclined to test the waters and light the way.
“I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.”
Taking one’s own sweet time sitting back and observing trials and outcomes done by Other People and *learning* from them can greatly improve one’s odds in the Chance Department.
I have zero illusions as to where this ends, where I end. We didn’t take the fight to them,,,,, they came after us.
I often wonder where this nation would be without DC, the scum there. I gotta believe the rest of us can find common ground,,,,,, or not.
