DAY 9...If you can

I can't spend my time worrying about what people think...besides I can't stand most people anyway.
So bring it...

I love this image of indomitable longevity. This couple seems to have been sitting on those same weathered steps for a thousand years...looking as life; all kinds of life passed them by without so much as twitch.

REBEL

If  you are never able

to stand up

to the bullies around you

and say
NO

when you should,
stand when you can,
and run

when you know

you can't fight.

Don't think 

that you are being brave
That is the ordinary way
That bandwagon stand,
Come; act like a man
Your standard erect 

and unfurled.

Try  sticking to your own bazooka
or  bb gun, whatever it may be.
Fear if you must
But hold to the truth
And you'll find in the dark

you can see.

In striving to reach to the top
Everyone wants to succeed.
But success cost dearly
So work hard,

live fairly
And don't trample on men in your greed.

Rebels are set for a time
And the cost of true freedom

is high.
It will cost you your gold
your opinion,

your pride,
And eventually

you must lay down

and die.

This is how Tupac says it...Pain
