Same Fire

“I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They’re quite aware what they’re goin’ through.” Bowie

“I was super cool
But now I’m super strong
I had nothing to loose
But I was super wrong
It was the circumstance
I got the power from
I was super tough
But now I’m super strong” Kelis

“Consider, for a moment, the world a rat lives in. It’s a hostile world, indeed. If a rat were to scamper through your front door right now, would you greet it with hostility? Has a rat ever done anything to you to create this animosity you feel towards them? Rats were the cause of the bubonic plague, but that’s some time ago. I propose to you, any disease a rat could spread, a squirrel could equally carry. Would you agree? Yet I assume you don’t share the same animosity with squirrels that you do with rats, do you? But they’re both rodents, are they not? And except for the tail, they even rather look alike, don’t they?” Quentin Tarantino

“And I’m grindin’ until I’m tired
Cause they said you ain’t grindin’ until you tired
So I’m grindin’ with my eyes wide, lookin’ to find
A way through the day, a life for the night
Dear Lord you done took so many of my people
I’m just wonderin’ why you haven’t taken my life
Like what the hell am I doin’ right?
My life?” Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.
