THE ARMY OF TRUTH Words? Those sounds the world despises. Words in poems? Even more to be disdained! Ah, how feeble are your powers to defend all the truth that man denies! Thunder crack and lightning flash at its presence! Hosts of angels should come swooping down from heaven to the rescue far and wide [...] ON SNOW A Riddle From Heaven I fall, though from earth I begin. No lady alive can show such a skin. I’m bright as an angel, and light as a feather, But heavy and dark, when you squeeze me together. Though candor and truth in my aspect I bear, Yet many poor creatures I help [...] RHAPSODY No one says it anymore, my darling, not to the green leaves in March, not to the stars backing up each night, certainly not in the nest of rapture, who in the beginning was an owl, rustling just after silence, whose very presence drew a mob of birds–flickers, finches, chickadees, five cardinals to [...] NOFX – FRANCO UN-AMERICAN I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small Never thought about the problems of this planet at all Global warming, radioactive sites Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! no!

Then he [...] ANTI-FLAG – TURNCOAT TURNCOAT! KILLER! LIAR! THIEF! Criminal with protection of the law! Go! State’s lies dressed up as evening news, We’re tired of lies we want the truth. Broadcast by corpses courting you, We’re tired of lies we want the truth. Most people they will never know, We’re tired of lies we want [...] RISE AGAINST – STATE OF THE UNION If we’re the flagship of peace and prosperity, We’re taking on water and about to fucking sink. No one seems to notice, no one even blinks. The crew all left the passengers to die under the sea. Countdown to the very end. Equality; an invitation that we [...] Faith Oscar Wilde once said that skepticism is the beginning of faith. My faith is in the skepticism of Oscar Wilde.
