Favorite Quote:
"A lot of people run a race to see who is the fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more."


Looking back at what we missed;

When was the last time two men kissed?

Not lips on lips, but hand in hand;

A race was a race, fastest guy wins;

Not a race was a race, dependant where you live.

Yes, they were balled up by chains and whips;

But look at the times, they caught up quick.

Looking back at what we did;

Talent like that shouldn't be hid.

 

Looking back at what we did;

What advantage do we have, a penis?

Lips on lips, and hand in hand;

Not many people know my plan.

A breast was a breast, yes we have them too;

Not, "Stay in the kitchen, you have boobs."

Held back by cleaning, the stove, and the fridge;

Look at the scores, they're smarter than you think.

Looking back at what we did;

It's time we didn't keep them hid.

 

Now lets see when two men kissed.

Yes, I mean lips on lips.

Just to show you what you missed.

It was yesterday and probably today.

Would you have known?

Not if I didn't say.

Did you die?

I'm talking to you right?

 

Looking back at what you missed;

Race, women, sexuality...

Damn, you missed a lot.

Hopefully people will realize the mistakes humans have made along the way making the long way we have to go to Abraham Lincoln's ideal society a little shorter.
