Sportsmanship and easygoing methods are all right, but it is the prospect of a hot fight that brings out the crowds.

If we fight a war and win it with H-bombs, what history will remember is not the ideals we were fighting for but the methods we used to accomplish them. These methods will be compared to the warfare of Genghis Khan who ruthlessly killed every last inhabitant of Persia.

Football Friday
Friday nite, small towns, big city
Big lights, mark field
quietly awaiting
for bands, fans
school colors, school spirits
pep rally's, scoring alleys
big crowds, cheering fans
cheerleaders dancing, cheering
Root Root for the home team
balls flying, bodies diving
scrambles of run, bombs of passes
scoring touchdowns, holding them down
Win Win hail to our team
Lose Lose hold your heads high
there's another day to win the game
loading bus, cheers and jeers
what a night, for the fight
Win Win for the home crowd
Go Go we won't go
fight fight thru the night
finally a win, what a team
play the game as your first
win it like your last
sportsmanship is the respect
give a hand shake win or lose
till the next game we will go
on another beautiful Friday night

Fight For Ouerselves
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
So many people, so many problems
There in the pretty city lights
Where we?e thrown it all away
Well, if life is here before my eyes
Then I find it hard to see
How the methods that we?e told to use
Are gonna make us free
Until then I say
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
All through the mystery,
All through the heartache
She? got the only single thing
That I?l never throw away
Oh, if lightning strikes for a second time
Will you come and pull me through?
It? a battle that we all must make,
So show me what to do
And you said
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
Well there? a feeling growing that is in this land,
There? a soul that? burning and it? your hand
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
Oh so many people now, there? so many problems
There in the pretty city lights
Where we?e thrown it all away
Well, if life is here before my eyes
Then I find it hard to see
How the methods that we?e told to use
Are gonna make us free
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves
Well there? a feeling growing that is in this land,
There? a soul that? burning and it? your hand
Everybody, we?e got to fight for ourselves

But if we had to trade with a Europe dominated by the present German trade policies, we might have to change our methods to some totalitarian form. This is a prospect that any lover of democracy must view with consternation.

There are many methods for predicting the future. For example, you can read horoscopes, tea leaves, tarot cards, or crystal balls. Collectively, these methods are known as 'nutty methods.' Or you can put well-researched facts into sophisticated computer models, more commonly referred to as a complete waste of time.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.

Mortals In Fear
What is it that brings us here
into this place of chaos and fear?
Is it because of what we lack
that always seems to bring us back?
Oh that heaven were a permanent place,
one where we'd never have to face
the prospect of losing all we had,
the prospect of never being sad.
But only souls who've learned it all
can remain in Eden and never fall.
For the soul's insatiable in its quest
to travel with us as we pass each test.
The test is to even up the score
in everything we've failed before.
And so we find ourselves again
trying to get it right and then
Ascend into the knowledge of light
with peace and love and everything right.
For then mere mortals we won't be.
We'll be co-creators eventually
and finally say 'AMEN.'

If I Were A Bubble I Would Be Everlasting
i am a red and gold bubble.i like to watch crowds of people pass by me.i dont like it when they try to bust me. i love football and i like it when the crowds shout.sometimes people doubt our team then they all start to fight and scream.i love when the football approaches our direction in the crowd.that's what i love, the cleats click cllacking on the concrete.the football helmets slamming clickety clack clanging together.as we try to knock the other team into their fear.but all the joy and tears fill up in my bubble i love to bleed red and gold but even if i was a bubble i would still cheer on my team. once a rebel always a rebel.go fight win we always fight to win go rebels....

Ethics for Infants
Now, children, in this lesson of a rather novel sort
Let us dwell, however briefly, on the moral phase of sport,
Taking cricket, for example, and those vague unwritten laws
Which, when observed, bring harmony, and help the noble cause
Of sportsmanship; but, understand, opinions given here
And rules of conduct specified are just as they appear.
To me and sundry others who see eye to eye with me
While 'tis candidly admitted other folk may disagree.
Eample one: When bowling we'll suppose, without intent,
You hurt a batsman badly so that half his strength be spent.
Now, the law, as I conceive it; is to give the man a chance
And to treat him rather gently while he flounders in trance.
That's sportsmanship, true sportsmanship as it appears to me;
Tho', as I have remarked before, some folk may disagree.
They would set a leg trap for him and attack him out of hand!
But that's a trick that you and I could never understand.
Example two: When bowling you have got a batsman out
But the umpire has not seen it, and the issue is in doubt;
The batsman gets the benefit and profits by the same.
And you? Why you regard it as the fortune of the game.
But, should you lose your temper and show plainly you are peeved,
Well, I and who thnk like me would be just a little grieved,
A little bit ashamed, you know, or so it seems to me,
Tho' remember clearly, children, other folk may disgaree.

Golden Treasure
The answer of gold is a saying you try,
That golden object may be needed afterwards.
Anybody will create a plain method,
The same methods are the plain methods.
Gold is plainly not silver, and both shine,
The method is the same, and we are the method.
To keep treasure in our gardens
Is the desire of all who are tame with riches
And wealth, the methods are similar,
They are so very similar.

Fight
Sometimes there's nothing to feel
Sometimes there's nothing to hold
Sometimes there's no time to run away
Sometimes you just feel so old
The times it hurts when you cry
The times it hurts just to breathe
And then it all seems like there's no-one left
And all you want is to sleep
Fight fight fight
Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never never
Never stop
Fight fight fight
Fight fight fight
So when the hurting starts
And when the nightmares begin
Remember you can fill up the sky
You don't have to give in
You don't have to give in
Never give in
Never give in
Never give in
