Voices
"It is our choices . . . that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."-J.K. Rowling
I.
So tonight that I might see--
You are lost, and I know me;
You are lost, and I am free.
II.
My choices have voices
They whisper in the night
Sometimes they fight
They shout about missed chances
They link hands and do dances
Around my hard choices
Mine are brave voices
Your choices have voices
I hope they yell in the dark
About your missed mark
And dance around your lost chance
Mock your fool ideas of romance
And ridicule your sad choices
Yours are weak voices
Our choices have voices
Mine are bravely honest
Yours are cowardly lies
Just like you promised

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
