"'If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight.' Sun Tzu said that. And I'd say he knows a little bit more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it. Then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honour. Then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth. And then he herded them onto a boat. And then he beat the crap out of every single one. And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a zoo!


. . . unless it's a farm!" ~ Soldier (TF2)

You say you want honesty
But look where that's gotten me
I tell you the truth, and you're angry
You feel disrespected
I feel unaccepted
Like all my beliefs are heresy

This is hypocrisy
Aren't we all family
Don't you care about what I think
Just like the Titanic
Its course foolishly galvanic
Your glacier heart is making me sink

Wake up from your dreaming
See what you're not seeing
To feel good is not what love means
'Tis unconditional
Quite unconventional
It strives even through different beliefs
