Be Nobodys Darling

Alice Walker

Be nobody's darling;
Be an outcast.
Take the contradictions
Of your life
And wrap around
You like a shawl,
To parry stones
To keep you warm.

Watch the people succumb
To madness
With ample cheer;
Let them look askance at you
And you askance reply.

Be an outcast;
Be pleased to walk alone
(Uncool)
Or line the crowded
River beds
With other impetuous
Fools.

Make a merry gathering
On the bank
Where thousands perished
For brave hurt words
They said.

Be nobody's darling;
Be an outcast.
Qualified to live
Among your dead.

I am so in love with the new equal pay law!

Karl Rove should be made to testify before Congress. I hope the Obama administration cooperates with John Conyers.

John Legend -Take Me Away

Oh, la la la la la
Yeah, yeah

We dance and sing
Somewhere in between heaven and hell
Gabrielle, that was her name
Everyone was smiling
Even through their tears, under a spell
But in Gabby’s eyes, nothing
I ask, do you not like the music
She says it’s alright
But she dances to her own sad tune
She says…

Take me away from here
Take me somewhere where love is like breathing
I don’t care where we go
Long as I’m there with you, baby
Long as I’m there with you

I could tell she’s been through pain I could only dream
Nightmares that live where you live
Tears well in her eyes, but she wouldn’t let them fall
I’d give the world to know where her smile is
I ask will you dance with me now
Let me try to figure out
The fastest rout out of town
And she said…

Take me away from here
Take me somewhere where love is like breathing
I don’t care where we go
Long as I’m there with you, baby
Long as I’m there with you

Oh, I got a full tank of gas girl
Anywhere, you wanna go girl
All you have to do is ask girl
Oh, she said…

Take me away from here
Take me somewhere where love is like breathing
I don’t care where we go
Long as I’m there with you, baby
Long as I’m there with you
