Recently, I have fallen in love with Tool, and i thought I'd share the greatest lyrics to one of the best songs I have ever heard...

Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys
Where there's one you're bound to divide it
Right in two

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason,
And this is what they choose?

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs they forge a blade
And where there's one they're bound to divide it
Right in two

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs they make a club,
And beat their brother down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability,
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.

[Cutting it all right in two
/ Cut it all right in two]
/ Cutting our love right in two]

Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over your lie, over blood, over anything
Fight over love, over sun, over nothing
Fight till they die,
(Ahhh!) over what? for their ending

Angels on the sideline again,
[Mixing love / Benched along] with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again,
Wondering where this tug of war will end.

[Cutting it all right in two
/ Cut it all right in two]
/ Cutting our love right in two]
(Great lyrics)


I love poetry, not the mushy gushy stuff, the in your face tell me something that I have never heard before stuff. The damn, I wish I had said that first stuff. The wow, they had the balls to say that stuff, yeh, that's what I like. I write from my soul and my experiances and all of that, so yeh, here is some other stuff about me...



When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.

Anais Nin



We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.

Aesop



"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."

Gandhi



"War has never hurt anyone expcept the people who died."

Salvador Dali



"Sometimes we have to fall down in order to regain our balance."

-Me



I really want to talk about my religious beliefs now. I call myself agnostic, I believe that there is something bigger than us, something that I think most of us have yet to understand, but I refuse to call that something "God". I think that the bible is open to interpretation, and that is where alot of people are stuck. They want so bad to take the bible and belive it word for word the way that it is written, and I just cannot do that. I do not believe in heaven and hell the way that the bible writes it. I believe in reincarnation, that we live and live until we reach our own heaven or hell, life is what you make it. I am a strong believer in Karma, that everything, no matter what it is, happens for a reason, and we have to remember that. Well, I guess that's about all I have to say on that, so onto other things.



I am a psychology major, I love it. I love being able to study what makes people act the way that they do, it is very interesting to me.

and now, more...





My favorite songs are:

Passenger

Me and Bobby Mcgee

You oughta know

tao of now (spoken word)

All Along The Watchtower

Ball and chain

Purple Rain

War Pigs

Shine on you crazy Diamond

Come Together

Bulls on Parade

Knockin on Heavens Door

The Mna Who Sold The World

Turn Your Lights Down Low

B.Y.O.B.

Right in Two

The Pot

alot of others that I cannot even remember

and of course, Imagine:







Imagine there's no heaven

it's easy if you try

no hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

living for today



Imagine there's no countries

it isn't hard to do

nothing to kill or die for

no religion too

imagine all the people

living life in peace



imagine no possesions

I wonder if you can

no need for greed or hunger

a brotherhood of man

imagine all the people

sharing all the world



You may say I'm a dreamer

but I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

and the world will be as one.





I wrote this because every single word of this is how I believe, John Lennon was an awesome and inspiring artist and I hope you all will take the time to really think about what he was saying in this song!



The Bands, well You gotta know about the bands right??

Tool

Deftones

Sage Francis

Janis Joplin

John Lennon

Alanis Morrisette

Saul Williams

Rage Against The Machine

Pink Floyd

Lynard Skynard

System of a Down

Beatles

U2

Bono, gotta love Bono

Fiona Apple

Crosby, Stills, and Nash

System of a Down

Nirvana

Bob Marley

Jimi Hendrix

Yeh, I know, not all of these are bands, but what are you gonna do right?

I am sure I am missing like 50,000 that I love, can't remember right now though.





Another poet that I know alot of you probably have never ehard of is Saul Williams, he is one of the greatest writers ever, and I have included a little bit of one of his poems here:



What happens to a society

when mystery is labeled

as evil?



It yeilds an ever-connected chain

of false labels and misinterpretations



The indigenous are labeled

as savage terrorists

and plotted against



The open-hearted

are manipulated into slavery



The vulnerable are penetrated

by force of law



--Saul Williams

    If we could change the world through what we wrote, this world would be a better place. Thanks for your comment on my poetry, I appreciate it, but I still like to believe that if I or any other decent person were president and had the fate on the world on their shoulders, money would not be an issue.
