"Nullify" Lyrics "Nullify"  
(Possible Lyrics - if they fit - we'll see, no promises)

=== Verse 1 ===

Hurry up, slow down
it's all about your home town
make a change, make it rain
even when your feeling pain

Breath
Don't fear what they perceive

Never smile, always frown
They'll say it's all about the crown
Feel the life in your veins
even though you're insane

Believe
In the dreams that you conceive

=== Verse 2 ===
The battle starts, the battle ends
Most of it is just pretend
Use free will, time is action
Don't live life as a distraction

Faith
Can nullify the hate

Rise above, feel the love
Focus on the right stuff
Make a choice, Take a

Paper Wasp

by ~therage3k

Beauty.
Delicate paper spun
sphere within sphere.
Beauty.
A retractable stinger
able to bring prey
to its knees
and defend
the paper sphere.

But her beauty has
no choice.
Her beauty is easy.
She stings when
it is time to sting,
and spins paper
when it is time.

While we are left
with a more complex
beauty.
When is it time for
us to sting?
for us to spin paper?
Will we ever
get it right?

I had knocked down a wasp nest off my front porch. Then I showed it to my kids. A couple days ago, while cleaning up, I realized I still had it and I got to thinking about wasps and their beauty, and that lead down the road of instincts vs choices, and all ends in joyous yet rhetorical question.

The Ultimatum frenemy

asking while denying
reaching while restraining
inhaling
suffocating

suffered in kind
during those darker days
yet, the target of
unyielding animosity

falling into
personal darkness

nurturing it
hiding in its embrace
while weeping
and loathing
those playing in the sunlight

join them in the sun
or shrink away into
those familiar shadows

but I will no longer be
an unwilling frenemyThe Ultimatum by ~therage3k

Rolling the Democratic Dice REGARDING AN ARTICLE
Fellow Americans, and any others who care to immerse themselves in my petty ramblings: I read an e-mail article backed by a 25-page paper that got me thinking. (see paper: http://www.business.unr.edu/econ/wp/papers/UNRECONWP06008.pdf) My first reaction is, this person is seeing what they choose to see.  It is a somewhat free country, so I think Elliott has that right.  But his analysis makes an unintentional mockery of the complexity of the data, IMHO.  He distills MASSIVE amounts of numbers into glittering generalities (I know he doesn’t see it that way, but the paper lacks enough detail for me to truly map his diRolling the Democratic Dice by ~therage3k
