"The Emperor's New Clothes"

It seems like years since you held the baby
While I wrecked the bedroom
You said it was dangerous after Sunday
And I knew you loved me
He thinks I just became famous
And that's what messed me up
But he's wrong
How could I possibly know what I want
When I was only twenty-one?
And there's millions of people
To offer advice and say how I should be
But they're twisted
And they will never be any influence on me
But you will always be
You will always be
If I treated you mean
I really didn't mean to
But you know how it is
And how a pregnancy can change you
I see plenty of clothes that I like
But I won't go anywhere nice for a while
All I want to do is just sit here
And write it all down and rest for a while
I can't bear to be in another city
One where you are not
I would return to nothing without you
If I'm your girlfriend or not
Maybe I was mean
But I really don't think so
You asked if I'm scared
And I said so
Everyone can see what's going on
They laugh `cause they know they're untouchable
Not because what I said was wrong
Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace
Maybe it sounds mean
But I really don't think so
You asked for the truth and I told you
Through their own words
They will be exposed
They've got a severe case of
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes
The emperor's new clothes

This is not about clothing. It is about what people put on the outside to show others what they want to them to see.

This song is definitely worth a listen.

People discount her because she tore a picture of the pope. It is hard to say what I would do or want to do if I were raped and so very many of my fellow citizens were accosted by an industry who turned a blind eye and covered up such atrocities. I would also want to tear up an image of the pope least of all. After all, we always blame the person at the top... that is why they make the most money, have the highest glory etc. Isn't it supposed to be the church we turn to to heal such things? They still have not made this right, even if it is not in the headlines. It is not gone, is it?

something about trees falling in a forest making noise. Scared kids don't make much noise now do they?

No I have never been raped... although I did participate in some things full well knowing that in the end I may not be as cogniscent of my actions in the end... but I was young and I guess willing to do what I did, even if in retrospect I had no feelings for the person I did them with.

My son has been abused by school personnel who turned a blind eye and turned the accusations around. The lion came out that day. I am pretty sure the antithesis of my very quiet demeanor everyone was accustomed to was heard across that entire school. Chalk it up to another person in emperor's clothing.

I once had a friend who was a drag queen. He showed me a picture of him in drag and asked me what I thought. I said he looked like a man in woman's clothing, which made him cry. I didn't mean to make him cry or even hurt his feelings. The fact is, I have, throughout my life seen things as they really are and I have grown to trust what I see.

If god, or God or him or Him or Jesus, Buddah Allah or any deity wanted me to know that they were there or that I should know that they were there, they have had ample opportunity to show themselves. Does that mean that there is a heirarchy? Or that there is a deficiency in me that makes me not worthy of knowing these things?

I am at that point in my life where I just need to accept things. I am over my prime I am over the time in life when I actually had the ability to influence or push or create meaningful waves. I am not old but I don't have the influence or energy or gumption I once had. That is not to say I am resigned, I am just 43% of what I thought I'd be.

and incredibly mortal.
