A Memphis Time "Lost Horizons" Final Gladiator "Farewell' Salute To All Gladiators At Sweet Lady Liberty's Divine Passionsword Arena Of Justice


Enter Now Within A Cosmic Twilight Zone Of Both Time & Space
Of A Then & There That Once Was...
As Well As The Here & Now That Now Is..
Or For That Matter A When & Where Time In Space
Yet To Come To Pass...

But Remember This Thought & Never Forget That...
The common welfare has been, is now & will forever be my business;
charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, are, all, my business.'"

But...
"If survival calls for the bearing of arms, bear them you must. But the most important part of the challenge is for you to find another means that does not come with the killing of your fellow man."
Rod Serling

Thus Once Again Along Memphis Time's "Lost Horizons"
At Sweet Lady Liberty's Divine Passionsword Arena
The Final Gladiatorial Dream Awakening Ends ,
As Does Once Again The Long Journey Amist A New Beginning
Through All The Sorrow , Separation & Despair,
While The Divine Mystifying Hour Of Reckoning Begins
& Thus This Divine Inspiration Goes Out From The Grave...

Morituri Te Salutamus!
To Those About To Die We Salute You!

But First...
"Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity."
Unitarian educator Horace Mann

And Always Remember...
One Man's Terrorist Is Another Man's Freedom Fighter...

Stepping Forth Now Into Eden...
Into the Gardens & Out From the Graves...

But To Reach Eden You Must First
Reach it Yourselves From Within...

Do You Reach That Brother
Can You Reach That...Just Reach Out...
So That's The Real Now...
So Come & See & Hear A Voice Divine
Calling Out From The Heavens above
In The There & Then & Here & Now...

Eternally In Memoriam
To My Good Friend Doug Hopkins
May He R.I.P.
But Only After The Divine Cup Of Retribution
& Vengeance "Out From The Grave" Is Drunk Dry
(by Glad Zero-King Nothing)

But...I cant remember why I like this feeling,
when it always seems to let me down,
soon i find I’m searching for the exit,
from the ground.
down and I want back up.
down and I’ve gone too far.

So Enter Now Once Again By Looking Deep Down Inside
Within The Divine Shadowy Tunnel Of Shades & Shadows
That Leads Ever Upwards Towards The Divine Light Of Grace

& It seems We are Still... Outside looking in
Till we're talking about it, not stepping around it
Maybe I don't want to take advice from fools...

& Thus...

Close to 40 percent of Iraqis have an unreliable supply of drinking water and almost the same percentage live in areas where sewage can be seen in the streets, the survey said.

Khaled Ibrahim Bayati, the director general of Baghdad's water department, said the production of drinking water is dramatically insufficient and deplored the fact that water projects were never followed through.

"With the combined effect of old water and sewage grids and rising ground water levels, the little water that reaches homes is not fit to drink," he told AFP.

In Sadr City, the Imam Ali Ibn Aby Taleb hospital has treated thousands of local residents for water-related diseases.

"Our water is polluted and the sewage system was never properly rehabilitated, so disease is spreading across Sadr City like bushfire," Doctor Abed Ali Kadhem said.

So What's Really Been Done To Help Iraq & Iraq's Quality Of Living...

LOST HORIZONS Lyrics
(Doug Hopkins)

The last horizons I can see are filled with bars and factories
and in them all we fight to stay awake...
Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

She had nothing left to say so she said she loved me
I stood there grateful for the lie...
Drink enough of anything to make this girl look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

Turn summer trees to bones and ice
Turn insect songs against the night
With words we build and words we break
I'm drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves...

Drink enough of anything to make myself look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves

Maybe I could use you to reassure myself
I wouldn't wish this indecision on anybody else
Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again
And when the sin smiles how could it be wrong
The last horizons I could see are now resigned to memories
I never thought I'd still be here today...

Drink enough of anything to make myself look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves.

Thus...
You can hear it ring from near and far
You can hear it scream like a fire alarm...
That Once Again...

It's Memphis Time
(Gin Blossoms)

Hey, now it's all right
Hey now, it's fine, it's cool
Seems we've done our worst
It's time to head for school

And so we tripped upstairs
I seen the sun come up
Judging by your shape
I think you've had enough

It's Memphis time
Just string that old guitar
Tune it up to Memphis time

Hey, now I couldn't know
Baby, I couldn't tell
Just what's going on
Inside of someone else

You know that this small world
Sometimes this big town
It can drag you up
As well as drag you down

It's Memphis time
Just string that old guitar
Tune it up to Memphis Time

You can't say that I've been right
I can't say that you've been wrong
We knew it all along (Take cover Scotty)

So we tripped upstairs
I seen the sun come up
Judging by your shape
I think you've had enough
It's Memphis time
Just string that old guitar
And tune it up to Memphis time...

As You Enter Now Within A "One Less Time" Final...
"Congratulations I'm Sorry" Gladiator "Farewell" Salute To All
"Follow Me Down" Glad Bitter-Sweet Gladiators Here At
Sweet Lady Liberty's Divine Passionsword Arena
Of "Blood Sport" Justice "Out From The Grave"...

Commenced So With An "In Memoriam" Tribute
To Doug Hopkins & The Gin Blossoms...
(Also To "The Red Rider Rising" Glad Zero )
Along With A Gin Blossoms Passionsword "Magic Mirror"...

Competition Smile-
By The Gin Blossoms

Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind

I'm high and I'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Emulate the style
A competition smile

Now I'm running, not looking
And opening up my brain
Where it's easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
I'm hoping you'll notice
That no one else helps me grow
Oh, it's not easy to let you know
What I'm dying to show
Dying until you know
Pretending all the while
A competition smile

Now I've thrown something far
And it haunts me like a curse
I'm like a stone Falling hard
And I'm only getting worse

Looking up I saw nothing
But blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless
So help me to get untied
Fast asleep now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind
Just fine
Pretending all the while
A competition smile
I'm hiding high...
I'm riding high

Thus Exit One Final Time Out From
The X-ed In Out From The Underground
Final "Glad Zero" Farewell To All... & With It..
We Gladly Leave You With The Gladiators Theme Song...
So Once Again Come...Follow You (Me) Down...

Follow You Down

Did you see the sky, I think it means that we've been lost
Maybe one less time is all we need
I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots
Jumping off a bridge, it's just the farthest that I've ever been

Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far

I know we're headed somewhere, I can see how far we've come
But still, I can't remember anything
Let's not do the wrong thing and I swear it might be fun
It's a long way down when all the knots we've tied have come undone

Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far
Whoooo!

How you ever gonna find your place
Runnin' in an artificial pace
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand
So what the hell, have we already been forever damned?

Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far

Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down

I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down)
I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down)
I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down)
I'll follow you down, but not that far (follow you down)

In Memoriam To My Good Friend Doug Hopkins...R.I.P.

As You Now Exit Forth In Rhythm & Rime
One Final Bitter Over BitterSweet Last Time
Within The Entering Into Another "Future's Wake" Awaiting All...
In A Collective Grand Journey Enterprise Release Gathering Of Souls
Along Their Endless Time & Space Star-Trekking Journey Awakening
New Lives Beyond Just The Here & Now...

So...
Forget that our time is almost up I'll be all right...
But they can't take my anger...It can't be touched...
For If...There's a place outside I'm glad to play no part
But not like these fools and not like this scene...

& Thus...The Arena private party is over
Thank God we get new starts...As...
The fairest arms can tally up the faintest stars... Even If...
The last horizons I could see are now resigned to memories...
But...
I never thought I'd still be here today...So...

As Always...
Along With An Eternal Time & Space Farewell
(Fare Thee Well) Passionsword Arena Kiss...
So Thus It Must Be So...

so i guess i must have just been dreaming,
when i thought i heard myself say no,
and anyway it looks like noone heard me,
so here i go.
cuz when you're in the company of strangers,
or with the strangers you call friends,
you know before you start
just how its gonna end.

So Thus A Long Ago Forgotten
Force Vs. Violence Glad Reminder...

Force vs. Violence

Forceful Resistance vs. Violent Oppression

When is force acceptable?

Force is acceptable when the will of the oppressed arises
up after so long living under the Violence and the abuse
of Oppressors and their oppressive Violent Henchmen.
Moral Indignation is the gauge of the people for which
a well planed use of acceptable Force becomes….

When is Force necessary?

Force is necessary when the will of the people is
violently opposed by the oppressor.
Thus it becomes necessary in Moral defense to use force
to protect the will of the people against
those who would Violently oppress their will.
Thus the necessary use of Force Becomes…..

When is Force Inevitable?

Force is Inevitable when Violent oppressors without
Caring about the Moral Indignation of the people
And without any Moral Defense of their own continue
To violently oppress the will of the people.
Thus the use of Force becomes Inevitable!

With Moral Indignation and in Moral Defense the Forces of Liberty and Justice must and will combat their evil oppressive violence!!

Thus those of us "FORCE BEARERS" armed with Outraged Truth as our shield and Liberty's guiding Torch of Enlightened Knowledge in which to light our way and Moral Indignation as our Creed must try never to falter in this great endeavor in which we must journey upon in Moral Defense against the immoral use of Violent Oppression!! For we Force Bearers of Outrage must shoulder the burden with caring in our hearts, force in our hands, and sharing as our creed and thus must stand up to those minions of Violence who have hate in their hearts, blood stained Violence upon their hands, and greed and bigotry as their creed!!
Look at the company they keep, who are full of hatred themselves,and they have used violent tactics. Look at the blood stains on the walls in Italy. The blood is of those who stand up to their violence and intimidation. He has promoted their use of violence, hatred and intimidation, and then accuse others of the same thing. On the issue of the occasional glint of intelligence, if they had but a glint of intelligence, they wouldn't have written that filth in the first place. About ideological posturing,their writings as well as their right wing buddies are filled with hateful, violent and intimidating ideological posturing. their articles are full of mindless rants, but they state that others have given forth a lot of mindless ranting. About the "Companies" they keep, they have gone around the world using other people's hard labor, making millions while throwing them peanuts, then using mindless goons of hatred, violence and intimidation to put under their boots anyone who would try and rise up against their VIOLENCE!!

The Force of Outrage vs. The Violence of Hatred

The Force of Liberty vs. The Violence of Oppression

In the words of the great Italian writer, Beneditto Croce:
"In making an historical judgment it is necessary to keep firm hold of this criterion of distinction between force and violence. The former is liberty or prepares for liberty, while the latter does not work for liberty, unless, indeed, it does so negatively, by exciting liberty's opposite or rousing or resuscitating the thing which liberty wished or believed that she had crushed and extinguished. The most serious sanctions of war, the most vigorous states of siege and similar events show themselves to be intrinsically events of liberty or in the service of liberty, when directed towards vigorous resistance to attacks upon the vital necessities of a people or upon the order of a state, yet restrained from encroachments on the life liberty, or from destruction of its seeds; but rather, indeed, favoring liberty in her recovery and development."

Thus Bearing Down & Approaching Each & Every One Of yourselves
While Drowning In Your Own Sweet Toxic Derivatives Laden Sweat...

Be It Be Out From The Past (Where & When)< The Present (Here & Now)>
Or A Future (There & Then) Held Forever Within All Those Grotesque Disillusions
& Phantom Visitations Haunting Out Of The Past Depicted Within A Dream Like Quantum Leap Like Long Forgotten Ghosts Of Your Divine Selves Out From The Grave...

Undercovered Out From The Shades & Shadows Of A Bizarre Remembrance In The There & Then in Which To See Yourselves Again & Again To Be Seen Over & Over In Time & Space...Thus Reasoned Out To Make Sense In It's Own Twisted Of Senseless Senses Way...Thus...

Pieces Of The Night Lyrics
(Doug Hopkins)

Is it any wonder that the stars just don't rush by
When you're only doin' 60 through this oh-so-vacant night
But it's lacking something big this time
What the hell did you expect to find
Aphrodite on a barstool by your side
Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight...
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember if at all
Only pieces of the night...

And is it any wonder in the middle of the crowd
If you let your feet get trampled on
When the music is that loud
But you wanted to be where you are
But it looked much better from afar
A hillside in shadow
Between the people and the stars

Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight...
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember if at all
Only pieces of the night...

It seems so distant
But still only half the night away
Where notions between your questions come too
Is it any wonder where
The pieces of the night have been...

As You Fade Now Out From The Shadows For The Last Time
& Into The Final "Lost Horizons" Divine "Memphis Time"
Passionsword Arena Munus "Fulfilling Of The Hecatomb" Black

Then Again In Some Distant Future's Divine Long Lost Remembrance...
We May Once Again Meet In Time & Space...

Straight out past the cemetery where the river turns to ditch
Straight back far away a long ways from here
Just south of nowhere...

Even To See The There & Then Once Again At...

29 (Gin Blossoms)

Time won't stand by forever if I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never
Or else I'll seem the fool
Twenty-nine you'd think I'd know better
Living like a kid
When my lies may seem less than clever
Is when I fall for it

Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Some rides don't have much of a finish
That's the ride I took
Through good and bad and straight through indifference
Without a second look
There's no intentions worthy of mention
If we never try
So hang your hopes on rusted-out hinges
Take 'em for a ride

Only time will tell if wishing wells
Can bring us anything
Or fade like scenes from childhood dreams
Forgotten memories
Only time will tell...

For There Is No Beginning There Is No End
There Is Only The Infinite Passion Of Life...

The Manhattan Transfer - Extensions
Twilight Zone/Twilight Tone

When I hear this melody
This strange illusion takes over me
Through a tunnel of the mind
Perhaps a present or future time oh, oh
Out of nowhere comes this sound
This melody that keeps spinning around and around
Pyramidal locomotion
From a mystic unknown zone

Hearing the twilight
Hearing the twilight tone

Unpretentious girl from Memphis
Saw the future through her third eye
People came with skepticism
Picking, testing her precision
Suddenly they heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round & 'round
A signpost up ahead is calling
Through the mystic unknown zone

Hearing the twilight
Twilight swept away, feeling the rhythm
Hearing the twilight
Twilight swept away
Hearing the twilight
Twilight tone

Submitted for your approval
One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip into oddness and obsolescene
Through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination.
Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing sound of the twilight tone

On a cold and rainy night
One Mister Miller had a rare flight
Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
Then the engine stopped to listen with him
Play that beat
Suddenly he heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning around and around
Now he resides and plays trombone
In the mystic unknown zone

Hearing the twilight, twilight
Hearing the twilight
Hearing the twilight

So Be Hearing & Seeing You All
In One Infinite Matrix Vortex
Collective Arena Gathering Of Souls
Or Another There Liberty's Arena Fans...
In Or Out Of The Twilight Zone...

But Until Then Fade Now Into Sweet Lady Liberty's Divine...
Timeless Memphis Time Wishing Wells Along Allison Road...
Within Every Lost Horizons Shadows "Just South Of Nowhere"
"X-ed Back Deep Into The Arena's Underground" Shadowy Black

Signed Gladly Sadly & Tragically
At The PassionSword Blades Edge
We Bitter Over BitterSweet Gladiators
Of The Society Of The Sacred PassionsWord
