Fighting the good fight

Rise Up!

4/1/2019

 
Rise Up

As I sit alone at night sometimes, my mind can plainly see
Anger, hate, and bigotry, from sea to shining sea
You say take back your America, make it white again
If you don’t love it, leave it
Go back from whence you came
“But sir, I was born in Brooklyn, in a mosque from whence I came”
After all, I am a Muslim, but then, What’s in a name
As Woodie Guthrie wrote
 
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the California to the New York island
From the Redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
 
When did you sign the papers, I’d like to see the deed
Otherwise prep for battle, the revolution will proceed
Common sense and care for others, with help from a little jay
Will overtake your hateful stand, and send you on your way
I’m old and I’m Tired, but I will get in your face
Imagine the feel of a size 12 boot, when you start to feel the lace
As I send it rushing upward towards the center of your ass
You came after my countrymen, get down and smell the grass
 
Go Woodie
 
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the California to the New York island
From the Redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

    I am a 70 year young soul with the grit and stamina of a 40 year old, who has much to contribute before I decide to leave this world.
    I believe in equal rights for all. I am no better or worse than you unless you or I prove otherwise.
    You do not have the right to determine my life any more than I have the right to determine yours.
    Your beliefs are your beliefs, mine are mine. If they happen to coincide, wonderful!
    If not, let's talk about it!
    We can make this world a better place,
    but it will take all of us working together!
