“Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul - all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been - arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul - it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.”

“Over my many years in politics and business, I have found one thing to be universally true — The kindest person in the room is often the smartest.”

“Searchers
Why not go explore
or discover a new thing
We’ll go together
Let’s find forgotten places
solve mysteries fall in love”

“I didn't dream about the Maldives, a car, a house or fame. The greatest happiness for me then was at least one more dawn. Another. To live until the morning. To see the sun. Again.
Since then, the value has not changed radically, but it has changed and taken root in my consciousness. Every morning is good, every smile is sincere, every breath is like the last. And I am real.”

“What If
What if the dragon left the mountain
and flew away to find the sea
What if my worries left my mind
and I were free to just be me
whoever that strange self might be
Would a dragon run across the sands
would a dragon dance along the sea
What if we could just dance forever
accompanied by a salt breeze
What if the dragon left the mountain
and ran away to find the sea”
