[shutdown this damned machine, went for a pause to refresh, you know what I mean, then slinked back to my crib. This hour's obscene. And then I'll be damned, a vision came to me of a famous poster...a piece of paper for a damned old wall.
so I had to come back. no reason at all.
CHE! CHE GUEVARA! That name still has a
call, 35 years since he was murdered. And I don't mourn at all. Go see the play 'Argentina' and all the charisma of a man...and he was a man, that's all.
We try to have our visions of a world not in thrall to strutting dictators, or creeps behind a wall. They wriggle and manipulate and they cast a pall.
But what of Che Guevara, a picture of a hero for all. For all we know Jesus, back for a second call. And then there was Hewey Newton, he
starred on a poster or few.
But today, dudes, does anyone care about you.
you're gone so long
no one gives a rat's *ss for you.Maybe jesus is to blame, I'll thro in Buddha
And maybe Martin Luther King...what was it about them that they ring true. Do not do evil, even if done to you?
Lord, I'm confused...maybe prayer will do.
But I can not forgive the twin towers of death, and maybe that means the death of my self. There are times when fires of hatred blast my heart's good side. and, fool that I am, I take me a ride. To places...well just places of rage, and I feel I'd be better off pacing a cage.
So, Che Guevara, here's to you. murdered
35 years ago...and what did you do? did you leave us with hope, or is it doom if we follow you.
Once I thought your way was true. cockyed.
