Come On United!!

OK, Class, For today's assignment I'm going to need 2 things. Please go ahead and put the construction paper away............ Thank You. OK, On or around 2:45 Eastern time we're going to, as a class, send some positive vibes to Barcelona, Spain. The Manchester United Football Club will be there playing the 1st of a 2 leg UEFA Champions League semi-final. Very Important that we at least get an away goal. For those of you who watched the Liverpool/Chelsea game yesterday, please no own goals in stoppage time. Come on, visualize it! Thanks. OK, Well that's the assignment. Good Luck!

The following came to me whilst suffering a nasty, nasty migrane last weekend. I suppose it's a culmination of books I've read, documentaries I've watched, and dreams I've had.

A Red Mist Comes Over the Eyes Occasionaly

we took the train to the middle of the town square,
there were men on horses awaiting us there.
Once the group got large enough, we all started to sing,
some were drunk, some were loud, my ears started to ring.
You don't realize the power of a crowd in unision,
around the corner came a group of 50, they started in.
"It's about to kick off", someone informed me,
not for me! I said, ducking away shyly.
Suddenly a bottle shattered close by,
it was filled with piss that splashed warm on my thigh.
A red mist came over my eyes,
I'll make sure whoever threw that dies.
Let me outta this cage I'm in,
I'm filling up with a rage that's consumin'
I'm no longer here for the sport,
I'm only hoping Peace will abort.
Senses heightened, Animalistic qualities,
I'll fight any man, don't care what size he is.
This is a war I was born for,
when it's over, I'll be wantin' more.
This violence is the national disease,
soon silence will fill my world with ease.


Well, there ya have it. My flirtation with something other than being a good, upstanding citizen. Time to go.
