Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.

All political revolutions, not affected by foreign conquest, originate in moral revolutions. The subversion of established institutions is merely one consequence of the previous subversion of established opinions.

Doesnt Allow Dissent!
they're using our attacks
on our own students,
on our own children....
for daring to raise a voice of dissent,
for daring to question....
as an excuse in Egypt
to crackdown on their own....
apparently, freedom
...doesnt allow dissent!

Confused
You confuse me
You used to take my breath away
Every time you siad hey
Now you confuse me
My head spins
I don't know where you been
But now I know what to do
And it has nothing to do with you
So when you call me next time
Just keep of mind You're' done confusing me

Honest Men
Were just a stones throw
From burning hellfire
Does anybody know,
Where did all the heroes go?
Weve had our fill of
This gallery of scoundrels,
The leaders of the world,
Those power hungry liars
Rise up and sound the sirens,
Send out the searching powers,
All we need is a few good men
Send the s.o.s. and red alerts
All across the universe
Calling your honest men?
S.o.s. emergency,
Sinking fast and getting worse.
Wheres your honest men?
In some village, far away,
Or in a little town pub.
High on a mountain top
There must be an honest man
Calling all honest men
Throw out the tyrants,
The aged fat cats
Outlived their usefulness
They have led us to this mess
Make them answer,
Hold them to their promises,
And throw them in the street
If they wont tell the truth
S.o.s. and red alert
All across the universe,
Calling all honest men
S.o.s. emergency,
Sinking fast and getting worse,
Wheres your honest men?
To your stations,
Man the ramparts,
The barricades
We need new heroes urgently
We need a few good honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men
Call to him
He lives next door,
Across the street
On the upper floor.
Its our only hope we need him now
Send the s.o.s. and red alert,
All across the universe,
Calling all honest men
S.o.s. emergency,
Sinking fast and getting worse,
Wheres your honest men
Strike a blow,
Save the ship,
We need a few good honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men
Calling all honest men
S.o.s. across the universe
Wheres your honest
We need your honest
Calling all honest men
Calling out all over the world,
Wheres your honest men
Looking out all over the world,
We need your honest men

Gabrielle Smiles
How my heart doth wander
Oh how my heart doth weep
In loosing sense of wonder
I’m not getting any sleep.
Tie me to the meadow
Hang me from a cloud
Whilst I’m gathering my senses
I think softly yet aloud.
Inside a world is waiting
Awaiting you to care
Step outside your aching
Still know that you where there.
Take in the skies with honest eyes
True a Joy will be yours
Deny your eyes – Confuse with lies
Your vision and conceal the door
Open wide
Dance wild.
Gabrielle smiles
A wistful smile.
Her wings are torn
Yet await her miles
Gathered petals in her hair
She stands ever daring you
Through eyes of honest passion.
To ride a wave of blue
Just to crash upon her shore.

Your Expectations
Once words leave from my mouth to be said,
They are not rehearsed to fit snuggly...
To take into consideration your preferred wishes.
In a way that is expressed to address,
Your expectations.
No! That is not what I do.
I am too honest with myself.
If you choose to confuse my words as something else,
Communicating with me is not your desire.
Not if you want to comprehend my feelings,
To mean something else you wish to approve.
I will not manipulate my words in premeditation,
To please what you want from me to hear.
I do not live to feed the keeping of your delusions.

The Western musical canon came about not merely by accumulation, but by opposition and subversion, both to the ruling powers on whom composers depended for their livelihoods and to other musics.

Conditioned By a Private Mission
The quest that shelters and protects my steps,
Keeps me honest and at my best.
I may not always give what one expects.
I can acknowledge my mistakes,
And hope choices I make...
Do not cause a friend or foe heartbreak!
I can not stop to compare what I've done,
To others on paths to out do or out run!
Separate are journeys taken,
Some with anguish and some with fun.
However I choose to view my life...
I hope not to confuse or abuse,
Those accomplishments done by anyone!
I am conditioned by a private mission.
And efficient one day I desire to become.
