Never try to reason the prejudice out of a man. It was not reasoned into him, and cannot be reasoned out.

Slept Upon Replies
arise only then
to reply later
as and if you need
as necessity breaths
as and if required
as and if circumstances dictate
is a path to reasoned thoughts

Until Reason Itself, Avails
Happy Birthday Gabriella-Daddy wishes he could be there-
As today of all days, a Father should be where
His beloved little Princess celebrates the day of her birth-
To exalt with one another, in a most magnificent mirth!
Alas, circumstance has conspired, to distance us-
A fact that resides with me each solitary moment;
I maintain faith though, as my persistence must
Garner the reward that brings to cease, this torment!
That I may not be there is causal to much lamentation-
As the reason for same defies any reasoned explication;
Alas, the only gift I may offer to you
Is my unceasing love, which I proffer to you-
Bide you must with same, until reason itself, avails-
Which shan't be, until true justice itslef, prevails!

The danger of what's happening right now in terms of using reconciliation is, the purpose of the Senate is going to be defeated. And that is to bring consensus to big issues in this country so that we have a reasoned and thoughtful approach and that the American public buys into it.

Liberty means, not the mere voting at elections, but the free and fearless exercise of the mental faculties, and that self-possession which springs out of well-reasoned opinions and consistent practice.

Jnana is beyond Vijnana,

Seasoned
[e-40]
Uh, you in a new school whip custom painted candy apricot butter
Im in an antique oldschool four door muffler draggin beat up duster
Wit scrapes and scratches, nicks and scars
Yall git to drink out of wine glasses, we gotta drink out of jelly jars
Down and out like four flat tires no washing machine nor dryer
Just ah pillow sack
And ah bunch of clothes wrapped in a sheet on our way to the laundrymat
Will I ever get paid, can I make a dollar out of fifteen cent
Yallz got it made, we broke and starvin barely payin the rent
Sleepless nights, alligator tears
Mommy arguin wit my daddy, daddy drunk too many beers
911 mr.po, po dey aint happy wit day marriage
Pops tryna beat her down and make her have a miscarriage
My cousin shoots the needle, she be gone for days
She on that da ah diesel, she gone end up wit aids
I told her I love her but you know what she said to me
Everybody got a gay or atleast one dope fiend in they family
You aint the only one wit a reject in yo family
Thats real
The reasoned the reasoned that we are seasoned
Seasoned that we fill our paper want disappear
Ohe, hey its been a long time in the bay
With God on our side we have somethin to say
And the and through the hard times we survive the game
Survive the game
If yall smell onions dats my arms potent
The reason Im musty is caus ewe aint got no mo deordorant
The laughing stock patna, we aint got no cash
Feet stinking through my shoes in p.e. class
Im thriznew wit biznieng brizoke
Im about to hiznit the griznind and if I git popped it aint half no more
Its eighty percent of my time
But thats ah cha ah chance that Im a have to ah take
Today my son birthday and I cant even buy a cake
Im so damn through ah through I had a j.o.b
You want me to cut my perm, oh yall gone ave to fire me
My fellow just got out da joint, that he might be o.k.
But my fellow got out and got stabbed twenty-six times that same damn day
Who wanted to git dunked on in the the flatlands
It aint never too late patna
All we need is a piece of plywood and a milk carton crate
What about dat shopping basket, you know Im smart
We can gone take the wheels off that and ma ah make a go cart
Yo peoples blessed you, I started from a quarter ounce
You came in the dope game wit a silver spoon up in yo mouth
Why we gotta gamble maine
We hurtin, you got all the bucks
In the ghetto we play dominoes for push ups
The reasoned the reasoned that we are seasoned
Seasoned that we fill our paper wont disappear
Ohe, its been a long time in the bay
With God on our side we have somethin to say
And the and through the hard times we survive the game
Survive the game
