Writing People Telling The Truth

More From Miriam Makeba

Conquered states that have been accustomed to liberty and the government of their own laws can be held by the conqueror in three different ways. the first is to ruin them; the second, for the conqueror to go and reside there in person; and the third is to allow them to continue to live under their own laws, subject to a regular tribute, and to create in them a government of a few, who will keep the country friendly to the conqueror

One writes not to be read but to breathe...one writes to think, to pray, to analyze. one writes to clear one's mind, to dissipate one's fears, to face one's doubts, to look at one's mistakes--in order to retrieve them. one writes to capture and crystallize one's joy, but also to disperse one's gloom. like prayer--you go to it in sorrow more than joy, for help, a road back to 'grace'.
Prayer Mistake Writing
Some people ask who they are and expect their feelings to tell them. but feelings are flickering flames that fade after every fitful stimulus. some people ask who they are and expect their achievements to tell them. but the things we accomplish always leave a core of character unrevealed. some people ask who they are and expect visions of their ideal self to tell them. but our visions can only tell us what we want to be, not what we are

Writing Men Speak
We as americans believe it’s ok to kill people. we believe it’s ok to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. we think it’s ok to invade a country where we think osama bin laden is and he’s in the other country. so we just go in and we just kill. and we have the death penalty, we sanction it.

When the warrior returns, from the battle afar,to the home and the country he nobly defended,o! warm be the welcome to gladden his ear,and loud be the joy that his perils are ended:in the full tide of song let his fame roll along,to the feast-flowing board let us gratefully throng,where, mixed with the olive, the laurel shall wave,and form a bright wreath for the brows of the brave.
Country Song Home
I think the accusations are about hillary clinton taking money from countries that kill women.
Country Thinking Clinton
Languages happily restrict the mind to what is of its own native growth and fitted for it, as rivers and mountains bond countries; or the empire of learning, as well as states, would become unwieldy and overgrown.
Country Rivers Growth
Today we take it for granted that war happens in smaller, poorer and more backward countries.
