love is not against the law
politics is love
can make you blind or make you see
make you a slave or make you free
but only one does it all
and its giving up your life
for the ones you hate the most
its giving them your gown
when they've taken your clothes
Its learning too admit
when you've had a hand in setting them up
and nocking them down
because love is not against the law
love is not against the law
no love love love
are we defending life
when we just pick and choose
lies acceptable to lose
and which ones to defend
because you cannot chose your friends
but you chose your enemies
and what if they were one
one and the same
could you find a way
to love them both the same
to give them your name
because love is not agianst the law
love is not against the law
no love love love

"NOBELITY"
Just saw this documentary at our school, the first showing in the US
at a college campus. The guy who wrote it and produced it was there
(he's from austin). it was a documentary about alot of the nobel peace
prize winners in still alive, just this guy interviewing talking about
alot of the problems in the world and what their take on how peace can
be found in the world. the thing that had alot of significance for me
was at the end - an interview with Desmond Tutu, it was done in my
school's presidents office at SU, before he gave a speech here 2 years
ago. the thing that he talked about that was different from everyone
else was LOVE. ive been really confused about christianity and the
church but Archbishop Desmond said something that made me think a
little, he talked about the struggles in the world because of race,
religion, politics, whatever, wheather people are jewish, israili,
egyptian, chinese, american, moslom, gay, lesbian -- God loves them
all the same, he said "God is not a Christian", meaning he doesn't
love people depending on wheather they are a christian or not but our
enemies the same. he said that if we acknowledged that God loves all
the same and treated the internaitonal community as a family then alot
of the problems that were broght up in the documentary would be fixed.
you'd have to see it, im not doing the prize winning archbishop
justice, im just trying to remember it off hand, ive misplaced my
journal so this is going to have to do.
