• Our children will be born of our actions. Our accidents will become their destinies. Oh, the actions will remain. It is a simple matter of what you will do when the chips are down, my friend. When the fat lady is singing. When the walls are falling in, and the sky is dark, and the ground is rumbling. In that moment our actions will define us.

On both occasions, the man breathes.

  The food is contaminated, the water got lead in it.
  Population control, make the babies sick,

  And we are on the front lines,
  Guilty as charged if intellect is a crime.
