Take that bass out your voice you talk to me in treble

This grassrooted curriculum, got me sprung like twisted ankles
Experience is missable, so I approach it from all angles

chaos. a word with mixed meanings and hidden undertones. it can be many things. it could by one. it could be none. chaos begets chaos.

Chaos is as state of. an aura of. a feeling of. a lack of. a sense of.

Confusion
anarcHy
bedlAm
vOlatility
diSorder

it is a physical, mental, emotional, physiological, psychological, and spiritual roller coaster of unpredictability and uncertainty.

The cadence off and on like the motion of Tai Chi

for example, in march of 2007, we have examples of ....

teens making toddlers smoke trees...

6th graders having sex in class...

fathers making their sons stab their mothers...

and the rich getting richer...and 14 of the world's 946 billionaires are right here in the Bay State.

If you don't know by now, let me acquaint you with my steez

guetamala can flip the script and make it easier to fire corrupt cops, yet we are still stuck on stupid...

right here in our own backyard (New Bedford, MA), US immigration rules have reared their ugly side and it is grotesquely hideous, cold, and nauseating. i just cannot fathom how money can be justifiably spent to fly people to Texas without being able to contact their families, etc. It is simply unconscionable to me to raid factories when it is clear that all the anti-immigrant sentiment is mostly directed at the latin americans who are here illegally, but not the Europeans, namely Irish, who are here in large numbers as well. Do Cuba and Haiti sound familiar?

I got $5 on it that Bush will not be making any surprise visits anywhere while he his in South America, namely Venezuela. Him and Chavez will be dapping up anytime soon. But, man, you gotta love the protesters. Ain't nothing like a fighting spirit to get you fired up.

Yeah, we your rhyme sayers
who lead you like a beacon of light, out of the chaos
Cutting down overzealous players who stare
when the winners of the game walk in well prepared
climbing the stairways
to heaven while you scared of the people living under-
-ground heard the sound of the clap
made you wonder
If it was a gun, the crowd, or some thunder
All of that was out my window when I was younger

-Talib Kweli & Bahamadia, "Chaos"

Just read that a Federal Judge signed an order late Friday barring any more of the New Bedford people from being shipped to detention centers outside of Masschusetts. Dont know what kind of legal proceding they will need to bring the other people back from Texas and New Mexico.

Heard on the news that a seven year old called 911 when she couldnt find her mother. Come to find out, her mother was one of the Texas detainees. They reunited her with her mother today (Friday). Its just disgusting. The sweat shop owners didnt serve a day but these workers' lives are ruined...
