nude upon a cross

if we saw you naked Jesus, we'd stone you

nail you to a cross

the thought of a naked prophet

what horrors you'd bring to mind

don't you know we're respectable

what would your mother think

to hear you're nude upon a cross

no matter that 

don your under-shorts

there are morals to uphold

don't scandalize the children

in the realm of the righteous

we don't care who you are

*"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

  -Martin Luther King, jr.

*Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

  -Samuel Beckett

*We all can speak as if we're innocent yet we all are guilty.

*"...the good simple people in his novels...are what the wanted to have been, and his villains were what he was (or rather, what he found in himself), his cruelty, his attacks of causeless enmity toward those who were helpless and looked to him for comfort, his shrinking from those (for) whom he ought to live, being used up in what he wrote. There were two people in him, he told me: one who feels as he ought to feel and one who feels as the opposite.  From the one who feels the opposite, I make my evil characters; from the one who feels as a man ought to feel, I try to live my life.

 -Charles Dickens to Fyodor Dostoevsky

*I'm gonna stay Black and die. What the f-ck!
