(Here's a solid raw rock song I wrote for New Years Day! Please pray that finally a revolution, a revolution of peace and philanthropy, can be initiated soon! Get out there!) Revolution By: Noah Eaton 1/1/04 "You didn't believe you can start a revolution, did you?" the reporter's tongue slipped condescendingly Yeah, yeah, those porcupine quilled pre-emptive agreements, those index-carded subpoenas, instant editorializing Will there ever be a revolution? Will the future ever come today? Will there ever be a revolution? Will the future ever come today? (I'm feeling a little fatigued, yeah I'm feeling a little fatigued waiting for the future, yeah) Kate Raphael's being deported from Israel, there's radiation in the lemonade over at Bechtel, Six sigma, you say, more like six stigma, it's easy to tell When those black belts are hitting you below the belt Tom Ridge's the chief of the secret police, who's protecting the dissidents, homeless, poets on the streets Abortion debates spill more than blood down at the clinics, Twenty years have passed and still there's no difference, yeah Will there ever be a revolution? Will the future ever come today? Will there ever be a revolution? Will the future ever come today? Yeah, yeah, yeah, nothing has happened Yeah, yeah, yeah, nothing has happened "You didn't believe you can start a revolution, did you?" the reporter's tongue slipped condescendingly, yeah Yeah, you know there's no real historian, history requires more than just acute vision That's why we have what's called circumscription, configuration, reprobation, consolidation I've felt ashamed for so long, time to make an aberration Yeah, we've felt ashamed for so long, time to make an aberration Cause it ain't gonna suck itself, yeah It ain't gonna suck itself Yeah, yeah, time for a revolution Time for the future to come today Yeah, yeah, time for a revolution Time for the future to come today Yeah, yeah, time for a revolution Time for the future to come today Yeah, yeah, time for a revolution Time for the future to come today "You'll find something that's enough to keep you But if the bright lights don't receive you You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20 |

Noah, I noticed that the image had been removed....I do thank Ron for that. I love to read you but these days you are putting up so many large graphics that my slow dial-up connection can't handle them. I would really love it if you could make your pictures smaller for us folks who don't have high speed download capabilites...I would not dread trying to read you then.  |

Noah -- isn't the revolution now -- isn't it a choice we make -- to create, or to destroy. And you are winning. Still want to hear the music! |

This is so full of truth. I say the revolution is now. Cold hands means a warm heart |

there are some poems... some writings, that we all can admit to skimming through quickly... I read your work because i love it. "Who you are speaks so loudly...I can hardly hear what you are saying" |

Mr. Noah, you are so very passionate about the world and it's condition. I am in awe of your ability to express your views so well through this media. Great, great things from you, dear. I have to be in the right frame of mind when I open one of your gifts, so that I may take the time needed to ingest it, and understand. What a refreshing offering to see your original postings here.
