essentially
If only a change of heart could magically repair the concrete effects of centuries of evil and dispossession overnight… It can’t, but thank you, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, for holding on to hope; for leading by example. If we all started living from an unselfish basis of love and respect, things WOULD shift.
it’s a thin line between love and hate
“My hate is general, I detest all men;
Some because they are wicked and do evil,
Others because they tolerate the wicked,
Refusing them the active vigorous scorn
Which vice should stimulate in virtuous minds.”
From Molière’s Le Misanthrope (1666)
throwing muses – hate my way
From Throwing Muses (4AD, 1986).
the raincoats – adventures close to home (1979)
Passion that shouts
Red with anger
I lost myself
Through alleys of mysteries
I went up and down
like a demented train
Don’t take it personal
I choose my own fate
I follow love
I follow hate
Searching for something
that makes hearts move
I found myself
But my best possession
walked into the shade
and threatened to drift away
Don’t take it personal
I choose my own fate
I follow love
I follow hate
For all of myself
I left you behind as if I could
possessed by Quixote’s dream
Went to fight dragons in the land of concrete
Don’t take it personal
I choose my own fate
I follow love
I follow hate
Rolling in pain
discovered what hurts
and tasted hell
infatuated by madness
I danced in flames
and drank in the depth of love
