Verse 5 Liberty or Security

Poor George...I'm sure it wasn't his fault he was a C average student. Maybe he should of boned up on his history and our founding fathers ideas on the subject of power,security, and freedom. He could of learned something from people like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. I'm sure Uncle Dick had his hand in it somewhere. I wonder if the White House had Google Search then?
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." Benjamin Franklin
"Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." Thomas Jefferson
Is it just me, or does calling something "The Patriot Act" that takes liberty's and constitutional rights away from its citizens in disguise as security a bit odd? Since when was it Patriotic to have less rights?

Verse 4 God over Equality

In 1892 Francis Bellamy, a baptist minister who was also a liberal christian socialist wrote a pledge we almost all know today. I say (almost) because the original version, without permission and much ignored protest from the author, was changed three times.The original version goes like this."I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty,justice and equality for all.' Equality was the first to go, women and non whites did not have this. In 1924,the American Legion changed it to "the Flag" from "My Flag". In 1954 Congress added "under God", again without the authors permission or consent of his family. Today there's debate about restoring it to its original pledge, but the Conservative christian movement wants to keep it the way it is. I think they would be shocked the version they know isn't the original and the man who wrote it was a socialist. I wont even touch the Big Govt. over reaching arms taking a mans property from him. Thats a whole other Verse.

Verse 3 Capital prior to Labor

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." Lincoln's First Annual Message to Congress, December 3, 1861.

Seems like a fitting quote these days. 148 years later and Congress still doesn't understand this.

Verse 2 Kepela Exists

Kepala is a fictional word meaning standing on opposite sides of the river. A word that I identify with as the river represents a flow of pharmaceuticals separating me from the insanity that lies within. Only temporarily does it divide me from my fate.I see it staring back from the shore waiting...patiently waiting.

Verse 1 Mean Dead People

I went on an Investigation last year to a very old bar in Kentucky with two different Paranormal groups. I had done all the research and even though the place was first a slaughter house and connected to a lady who was beheaded there, then turned into a multiple rough taverns that seen many of its share of murders and mafia activity, I thought very little about going. Usually I try to protect myself and forgo such places that could be considered dangerous to stir up. To be honest I thought most of it to be hype and sense the business that is currently there is making money off it being "Haunted" I went anyways.

To this day it is one of the worse decisions I had ever made. Being that I thought the place was a hoax I even was so bold to bring a prayer book and proceeded to agitate an area that was reported to be active. For more than an hour I taunted any would be spirits or the damned to make their presence known. To my dismay they did more than that. They very clearly and forcefully let me know who was running the show. One man who was a policeman had a rope that was hanging from the ceiling wrap around his leg and a chair he was sitting in. In another room, the vary one I was taunting them with prayers we got several very clear Audio recordings and in the same room our camera man was picked up and slammed to the ground. This person is 6'4" and weighs every bit of around 250 lbs.This too was caught on video as he was recording at the time. The very instant this happened I saw three hooded black figures moving towards him. Their were 7 of us in the room at the time.

It took a good 6 months for me to shake the effect from being there and I had problems in my own home of seeing a shadow man in my hallway at various times for almost a year afterwords. A friend came over to visit and seen it with his own eyes and I had never told him about it. He hasnt been back since. I had my church finally help me get rid of what ever followed me back home from that evil shit of a place.
