Revolutions
Concepts from reading about the French Revolution
Vive la liberté
Jacobins, Girondins, hear Danton's debut
walk to the scaffold the crowd craves a view
hold up the head grinning Liberty's smile
Reign over your people with Terror so vile
An Angel of Death sits in Parliament Hall
Casting his judgement since King Louis' fall
This day's close confidant is tomorrow's fiend
Keep thoughts with your head if you know what I mean.
Light
How will we know when too late arrives?
Will light cease to be and will darkness thrive?
Is hope now of shield of steel or of glass?
Will we only find out once the stone has been cast?
The legends are gone your heroes have failed.
The end is so close, will evil prevail?
Not if we stand tall, unbroken, unbowed.
Hope is not gone. Its light's with us now.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
