Lyric

“There are no racists in America, or at least none that the people who need to be white know personally.”
― Ta-Nehisi Coates

“To sing a wrong note is insignificant, but to sing without passion is unforgivable.”
― Ludwig van Beethoven

“Terrorism will never cease in a country where the so-called leaders are criminals and terrorists in disguise.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson

“We are surrounded by the absurd excess of the universe.
By meaningless bulk, vastness without size,
power without consequence. The stubborn iteration
that is present without being felt.
Nothing the spirit can marry. Merely phenomenon
and its physics. An endless, endless of going on.
No habitat where the brain can recognize itself.
No pertinence for the heart. Helpless duplication.”
― Jack Gilbert, Collected Poems
