I have seen the times when the grassroots has moved the Congress. We listen way more often to our constituents than the lobbyists. And the grassroots are going to have to do it.

Just A Piece
“I write what comes to mind.
It is like sharing a piece of yourself.
I guess I am just a lover of words”
We call it spontaneity, something that
Comes from an impulse
Effortlessly,
There is nothing premeditated,
Like a burst of applause
Indigenous, something that grows
Without any cultivation like some ferns
And lichens or moss on the rocks
Of our watered paths
That which nature gives
Freely and unconstrained
Like sunshine like rain
In fact, this spontaneity
Is the highest and best form of
efficiency
it is Not forethought
it is As instinctive as breathing
As involuntary as
Suspense and surprise
Combined less the promptitude
An ad-lib,
is that what you are,
My friend, and automatic hi
And automatic hello?
A spontaneous combustion,
A spontaneous propulsion?
Like the three Princes of Serendip
Whose discoveries are made
By accident and sagacity and not
By an old quest, or conquest
Yes, I agree, the poems work that way.

Spontaneous Combustion
My heart has caught fire
from all this desire.
The heat that I feel is so real.
The passion inside me
is burning intensely.
It's something I cannot control.
Will it consume me?
Can I become free?
Will I be able to heal?
What is this attraction
causing such a reaction?
Explosions are making me reel.
It must be spontaneous combustion
like a volcano in eruption.
For that's how you make me feel.

We Can Do Magic
Let's make it happen
Spontaneous reaction
Cosmic combustion
Some call it plainly
Magic
If we put our hearts and
Minds together
It could surely happen
To not make the most of
This moment
Could be considered sort of
Tragic
Therefore
We must cover each other with
Words of Love
As a delicate fabric
It's up to the both
Of us
So let's agree
To hold each other captive

Rush has never been a spontaneous group. We may be spontaneous in our writing, we may be spontaneous as individuals in our day to day lives... certainly I think am and always have been, but I think when it comes to Rush and our presentation of our music it's quite controlled.

Politics is not predictions and politics is not observations. Politics is what we do. Politics is what we do, politics is what we create, by what we work for, by what we hope for and what we dare to imagine.

Do we want an Attorney General who will play politics with the law, play politics with the court and just play politics with international conventions designed to protect our troops? I do not want to play that kind of politics. I am going to vote against Alberto Gonzales.

Politics is there the way men and women are there, the way the Atlantic Ocean is there. Sometimes I've written about politics specifically, I mean about politics as it's understood on television and in newspapers.

Lucky
I'm takin' to the bridge and there's a different country
I'm bringing with me the people I know deep down are funky
Oh yeah we dap we got the juice it's on tap
Never take the itme to rewind all the weak crap
Here take it it's yours the gift is calling
The sunshine be falling our way first every morning
I'ma magician you see I'm christened with condition
Held over from a future would I've come to you so listen
There's a place out in deep space
Where all the brothers chant and dance and rant
And shave their heads like Buddha
I'm a fly guy you know I'm smoother
Of course no remorese is felt for all those loser crews
I do not care what you do
