Amends

A song by Lil 6

As I was groping in the darkness,

tryin' to find my way,

a fare few who crossed me,

learned to rue the day.

So to you who in my blindness,

I brought pain or hate,

only thing I can think to say

is to tell who I am today

An' I hope when you see me,

in whatever place I be,

you can open your heart,

an' see the same love I can see,

so that one day you at last

can set your soul freeeee...

For if one who was so wretched,

nuf to do the things I done,

can find the freedom of gods love,

so can anyone....

So come now let us leave behind

the monsters we were forced to be,

so we can build a future

where all can proudly sing 'we're free!'

All Hail Brave Dog

By Fred Slisby

In the night, a daemon comes

to worry the weary dog

Having raised a din within,

the hound lies down again.

The Spirit recedes into the mist,

leaving the Master rattled.

Yet he is settled, having confirmed

that the Dog can prove its mettle.

All the green earth over,

the soldiers of fur and fang,

Watch the dark,

ready to bark.

At the appearance of a shade.

Thus they keep our homes secure

by knowing what we cannot.
