I Stand With Confess

I hereby confess
That I do
Stand by

The band Confess
And their right

To make the music

That speaks to them
Their right

To speak

Their minds
As brilliant men
Of music
Just doing what
They love
As those
Who are doing

The same damn thing
Or are innocently
Listening
Without issue
Worldwide
We listen
Because it feels good
Not because
We believe
Every word
Like those

In charge
Would like to
Say we do
I'm sorry

Fuckers but no
It's just not true
And we make it

To be heard
Like we have the right to
Even if you don't
Agree that we do
Metal is not evil
Never has been
You want evil
Look in the mirror
And leave us
Metal heads alone!!

I have spent a lifetime

I have spent a lifetime fighting for the rights of others to be heard.

whether it was in the streets with fists or carrying a M-16 .
it has cost me dearly in mind ,body an most importantly my soul.
I've gotten old , body wracked with pain from all the battles
heart from all the betrayals , scared mind and soul.
I haven't quit  , But I choose My battles more carefully,
the time place an time are now mine to choose
 
Good Luck With Yours !
