Random Thoughts

Born alone and Die alone

You might take my life
But you can't take my soul
You can't take my soul
You might take my freedom
But you can't take my soul
You can't take my soul

Whether it's a cancer patient or assassination
Or I fought for emancipation
My intentions were pure, you can debate 'em
But no, never ever shook hands with Satan
My fans are amazing, I thank and praise 'em
When I die, don't cry, just congratulations
A million more feet will stamp the pavement with plans of changes, no exaggeration
We will not be ignored
You'll be rocked with the force of the bombs that you dropped in these wars
I will not be bought
And I consciously thought it was wrong, so I constantly fought
Peace is something I would really adore
But we are at war so give me a sword
I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured
When you kill me there will be a million more

Born alone and die alone
Those words ringin' inside my dome
Best friends are the pen and the microphone
Roamin' until I find my way home
Turn my body cold but my soul is mine
Take a deep breath and I close my eyes
I will go when I'm supposed to die
But in death I will multiply

My back's against the wall
But you can't kill us all
Even if you take my life
Still we will survive
We shall overcome
And the tables will turn
Today I die as one, but as millions I'll return
But as millions I'll return
But as millions I'll return

In these critical times don't be really surprised
If I get victimised by Gideon's spies
I sympathise with that Brazilian guy
On the tube, but we're used to the hideous lie
Your civilians die - millions cry
Our civilians die - they're militants, right?
How silly am I to be figuring why
The injustice is clear, and I feel it inside
Hear me in Gaza, here me in Glasgow
Hear me in Baghdad, hear me in Plaistow
Clearly they hear me from here to Chicago
Think things are all good but they aren't though
Peace is something I would really adore
But we are at war so give me a sword
I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured
When you kill me there will be a million more

But as millions I'll return

My people are bleedin'
So I'm readin' and seekin' the deepest of meanin's
My demons are breedin'
In my sleep I can feel it, I need to defeat 'em
My temperature's risin'
If tempted I'll rise with the temper of Tyson
Resent all the violence
Cause of people with tension
It tends to divide them
The pen that I write with
Is better than a sword when I strike with the strength of a Titan
My friends are still fighting against all the tyrants
So then why would it end when I die then?
Peace is something I would really adore
But we are at war my pen's killing your sword
I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured
When you kill me there will be a million more

You might take my life
But you can't take my soul
You can't take my soul
You might take my freedom
But you can't take my soul
You can't take my soul

You might take my life
But you can't take my soul
You can't take my soul
You might take my freedom
But you can't take my soul
You can't take my soul

Pride Respect Honour and Dignity

Forget division based on ethnicity or religion ....
Pain is still pain if you’re a person that’s missing
We all deserve a life in this earth that we live in


And it’s not about pity, hands out or sympathy
It’s about Pride, Respect, Honour and Dignity

Sorry that I wasn’t there, Sorry that I couldn’t help
I’m sorry for every tear, Sorry you’ve been put through hell


Such a villianized and criticized nation

Where is our freedom?

The accused

Reviews from IMDB

the flashback re-enactment shows all too clearly no amount of provocation could justify such a brutal response. 

This movie is about more than rape. It's about societal views of rape and the objectification of the female in a patriarchal society. The actual courtroom drama portion is not prosecuting the rapists, but the men who cheered on and encouraged the gang rape of a woman in a public place. As you watch the movie, look at the image of the woman on the pinball machine; look at the friend who turned away; the boyfriend who expects the victim to "get over it;" the lawyer who thinks it's OK to cut a deal that removes a rape charge in order to get the rapists behind bars, without thought for the life of the victim afterward. Society is on trial here.

The film is about a violent assault carried out by a group of strangers.

But what bothers me about the real life memory... is that this was not a group of strangers.

And in Trinidad,.. because of the insecurity of the situation...

The attitude is

I didn't see
I can't recall
This not my business

Now without going into details,.. I will say this.

If you want to overtly express your contempt.. for his honesty about his sexuality.. fine.

But who the fuck made you jury and executioner.

Cause the thing I remember the most...

Is like that 'friend' in the link I will not hyperlink.

Most of the people,.. did exactly that.. they walked away and said nothing.
Pretend they eh hear.

And I know for a fact.. they will do the same again.

Catfish

Generally, we think that the hookups are a guy thing. But due to the nature of our society, and also the more technology based methods of communication, there is a real possibility of being catfished.

Many LGBT use fake screen names,.. including me. 

At some point,.. after a few public dates,.. you will willingly accompany your intended to her home.

Once after we had entered and made our way to the bedroom,.. she left to go to the bathroom down the corridor.

Her brother entered the room whilst I was waiting. She had not mentioned that anyone else was in the house, and there had been no indication via noise that there was, I had assumed that we were alone.

Needless to say,  I called out. It was an honest misunderstanding. And she returned.

But as the questions are posed about the nature of incidents.. of being targeted.

I realise how easy it could be for someone to fall prey.

I truly hate the term 'corrective' rape. 

As for the ambiguity.

If you are being slammed against a wall, to the point you are winded and groped.

With the man slurring "I don't feel any balls"

I am 100% certain that particular attack was motivated by my 'known' sexual orientation.

At the end of the day

The person you HAVE TO sleep with... is yourself.
