There is a badge in North Ontario<br>

I can't use it any more<br>
And in my mind it's still getting dark<br>
All my changes were too dark to see<br>
Leave me<br>
Knockin', knockin', knockin', knockin'<br>
Mama, can you hear my gun?<br>
The chambers locked and tied behind the stars<br>
Baby, shoot that cold black cloud with me somehow

The word "Socialism" has been a slur used by the ruling class and their police agencies since at least the 1890's.


There is a town in North Ontario<br>
All this talk about "what Socialism really means" strikes me as the old familiar lamentation:
Dream comfort memory to spare<br>
And in my mind I still need a place to go<br>
All my changes were there<br>
Blue, blue windows behind the stars<br>
Yellow moon on the rise<br>
Big birds flying across the sky<br>
Throwing shadows on our eyes<br>
Leave us<br>
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless<br>
Babe, can you hear me now?<br>
The chains are locked and tied across the door<br>
Baby, sing with me somehow


=== Knocking On Heaven's Door ===
"Why doesn't anyone understand me?" (Or more charitably: "When will they ever learn?")


Mama take this badge from me<br>
The answer is "never", and attempts to prove "what Socialism really means" waste precious time.
I can't use it anymore<br>
It's getting dark too dark to see<br>
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door<br>


Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door<br>
=== The Apollonian and the Dionysian are co-equals ===
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door<br>
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door<br>
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, yeah


Mama put my guns in the ground<br>
I am sorry to be difficult, but Dionysus heard me thinking "just...?"
I can't shoot them anymore<br>
That cold black cloud is comin' down<br>
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door


Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door ...
Now he and Apollo sing as one:

[I love serving the Muses, I truly duly—  but they ride my nervous system like it's a Scythian horse]

Diary

Aug 19

The word "Socialism" has been a slur used by the ruling class and their police agencies since at least the 1890's.

All this talk about "what Socialism really means" strikes me as the old familiar lamentation:

"Why doesn't anyone understand me?" (Or more charitably: "When will they ever learn?")

The answer is "never", and attempts to prove "what Socialism really means" waste precious time.

The Apollonian and the Dionysian are co-equals

I am sorry to be difficult, but Dionysus heard me thinking "just...?"

Now he and Apollo sing as one:

"The Apollonian and the Dionysian are co-equals."

[I love serving the Muses, I truly duly— but they ride my nervous system like it's a Scythian horse]
