Favorite Quote:
When I, the People, learn to remember, when I, the People, use the lessons of yesterday and no longer forget who robbed me last year, who played me for a fool--then there will be no speaker in all the world say the name: "The People," with any fleck of a sneer in his voice or any far-off smile of derision. The mob--the crowd--the mass--will arrive then. – Carl Sandburg

Come take my hand and follow me, my love.
Abandon this world of desolation,
And join me in my paradise of solitude.

Cast off the shackles that bind you, my love.
Wash your hands clean of their unholy acts,
And walk with me in my garden of solitude.

Tear of the mask they force on you, my love.
Embrace the icy chill of moonlight,
And revel in the blackened flames of solitude.

Sit with me, my love.
Embrace my prison of flames
And live forever.
