War is just like bush-clearing-the moment you stop, the jungle comes back even thicker, but for a little while you can plant and grow a crop in the ground you have won at such a terrible cost.

War Is Just Like Bush-clearing-the Moment You

Kenneth Kaunda
War is just like bush-clearing-the moment you stop, the jungle comes back even thicker, but for a little while you can plant and grow a crop in the ground you have won at such a terrible cost.

Wishing won't make it so hoping won't do it, praying won't do it religion won't do it, philosophy won't do it the supreme court won't do it, the president and the congress won't do it the un won't do it, the h-bomb won't do it, the sun and the moon won't do it and god won't do it, and i certainly won't do it that leaves you, you'll have to do it

I never wanted to grow a thicker skin; i felt a real sense of pride in my thin skin, and in a weird way, i still do, because it's my thin skin that allows me to empathize with other people. it's the thing that allows me to create vulnerable art. it's the thing that allows me to create other feelings and make songs that actually grab people and touch people. i feel like i've spent my life fighting that thicker skin because i don't want to become an embittered asshole.

This is what i believe: that i am i. that my soul is a dark forest. that my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. that gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. that i must have the courage to let them come and go. that i will never let mankind put anything over me, but that i will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. there is my creed.

Gathering leaves spades take up leaves no better than spoons, and bags full of leaves are light as balloons. i make a great noise of rustling all day like rabbit and deer running away. but the mountains i raise elude my embrace, flowing over my arms and into my face. i may load and unload again and again till i fill the whole shed, and what have i then? next to nothing for weight, and since they grew duller from contact with earth, next to nothing for color. next to nothing for use. but a crop is a crop, and who's to say where the harvest shall stop?
