{,.}<\/p>\n
that we may choose the brothers we keep
\nwe shall not be we shall not be abuse
\nby brothers who would bleed us and diminish
\nhis brother’s hearth and home
\nthen claiming ownership by blood<\/p>\n
for who can choose save their own path
\nor judge this one right or wrong
\nbeyond what feels
\none way or the other<\/p>\n
when we can’t say what we feel
\nwe’re in the wrong casa
\nwrong family wrong friends
\nwe all gonna say things others don’t like
\nwhen anger turns red it is anger within
\nlook out!<\/p>\n
true righteousness does not shout.
\nlook around you
\nwho’s shouting it out?<\/p>\n
seventy how many ways to leave your lover
\nyeah, singing it Willie,
\n“Ya gotta know when to fold,
\nwhen to walk away,
\nand when to hold.”<\/p>\n
thanks and praises dear Willie
\ni pray someday you’ll meet
\nmy musical Keyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
