“I truly believe it’s not how hard you can hit—it’s how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward because that’s really what makes the difference in your life.”
—Stallone
“Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
—Samuel Ullman

a verse for "we are going"
poverty clenched my fingers in revenge
i was killed inside then
and realised it was cold when
i sent them home then
before i made time to know them
i refuse to hold hands
but have to hands hold
i am lonely and cold
but have clothes and robes
i have no one to hold
but there are folks to know
i have nothing to show
of the show i did go
before you name my crime
and slap my face with a fine
commit yourself to time
in a cell next to mine
leave your judgement of me
on a tangent in line
cos only God knows why
the thief at the cross line
will be in paradise tonight

“Before now I wanted
to be paid for what I said,
but now I need you
to buy me from my words.
The idols I used to carve
charmed everyone. Now I’m drunk
on Abraham and tired of idols.
An idol with no color or scent
ended my whole career” - Rumi” —
