THE FIGHT

If you stand up to a strong man

He may knock you down

But that doesnt make him right

Its not winning every time

That makes a man

Its fighting the fight

Ive got the man and his minions

Trying to disrupt me

And a worldly system thats

Trying to corrupt me.

Keep on fighting

When you get knocked down

Get up and keep on swinging

Keep believing

If they hold you down

You still can raise your voice in singing

Lord have mercy.

You have to decide whats really real

The physical or the spiritual

If you free your mind

Youll never be defeated

Look through your history

Youll see this is repeated

Lord have mercy...

Don't mess with me...

Pop, pop
Two shots
Two holes
He fell in the snow
And bled from his head
It glittered in the headlights
Cherry sno-cone red.

My time in Desert Storm...

"It is well that war is so terrible,
 or we should grow too fond of it." 
 Robert E. Lee (1807 - 1870)
