Don't let your emotions Cloud your best judgment Keeping faith in your devotion Despite the world's begrudgement
Failures never help one's attitude Still it's best to keep in gratitude For all the good that has come before Brings a feeling we cannot ignore
Let the party begin Well picked, we can win Remembering back to when now was then Round and round, to the start again
Drink up to the days of sorrow That we know may yet come tomorrow Even the acting of being nice Nearly always comes with price
Dealing with the pool of emotion That makes up the human commotion It is the substance that makes our days Confusing as it is, confusing in our ways
Let the party begin Well picked, we can win Remembering back to when now was then Round and round, to the start again
Like the babbling of a brook You spoke with just a look Touching me deep inside Somewhere behind my wall of pride
You being the princess who fits the crown Unleashed, you turned my frown upside down And I couldn't be happier with the surprise Of your laughter and the smile in your eyes
Let the party being Well picked we can win Remembering back to when now was then Round and round, to the start again

“Do you wish the world were happy? / Then remember day by day, / Just to scatter seeds of kindness / As you pass along the way.” – Ella Wheeler Wilcox, poet (5 Nov 1850-1919)
“I rejoice in a belief that intellectual light will spring up in the dark corners of the earth; that freedom of enquiry will produce liberality of conduct.” – George Washington (1789)
“Excellence demands competition. Without a race there can be no champion, no records broken, no excellence — in education or in any other walk of life.” – Ronald Reagan
There is in core functionality An awakened and new sense of reality It's another bit from our biology That we're given over to our technology
We all have our half-hidden flaws Decidedly difficult as nature's laws That breaking our loops is difficult And when we try, our systems revolt
This is the way of our illusions Painted in over in visions of confusion We can't hide from our indiscretions However much we'd favor our progressions
There is no stopping what is true Twisted as we are in God's view Crooked notes played in broken keys The pain we suffer does not please
But in this pain, we are set free To explore and learn our possibility And yet, it is that we are not thankful The selfishness of humanity leaves us ungrateful

“It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf.” – Thomas Paine (1776)
“The time to guard against corruption and tyranny, is before they shall have gotten hold on us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered.” – Thomas Jefferson (1781)
“The very word ‘secrecy’ is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.” – John F. Kennedy
Heading out of Australia to escape this Aussie winter. First stop Japan, then UK/Ireland and if work doesn't call me back, onto Chicago. I will make it up as I go along
