"When men who have nothing discover that they have one another, they
combine into units that are incalculably formidable"

- Quote from Attica prison massacre investigation (1971)


“A slowly acting poison
Will be given to the favourite one
The dark horse will bring glory
To the jailer and his men
It's always much more sporting
When there's families in the pit
And the madness of the crowd
Is an epileptic fit.”

“You can make it thru these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you”


© Joni Mitchell


"I'm like the farmer, planting words, people are seeds,
My truth is the soil, helps you grow like trees,
May the children come in all colours, and change like leaves,
Behold before you, one of those prophetic MCs."

“Just how blind will America be? (Ain't no tellin')
The world is on the edge of its seat
Defeat on the horizon. very surprisin'
That we all could see the plot
And claimed that we could not. (Alright)…

America!
The international Jekyll and Hyde
The land of a thousand disguises
Sneaks up on you but rarely surprises (Yeah!)
Plundering the Asian countryside
in the name of Fu Man Thieu.”
