He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother

ready to play rock and roll

by the toll of a bell

Les Paul & Lightning   by Edwin H. Balder

They gave her horns they gave her strings
They gave her keys they gave her dreams
Said play it soft play it sweet
But she had fire in her feet
Big brothers speakers shook the ground
Duane Allmans slide cut through the sound
Wasnt bows wasnt keys
Wasnt ivory wasnt ease
It was frets it was steel
It was something she could feel
Les Paul red held so tight
Her hands burned turned to lightning bright
Les Paul & lightning fire so wild
Strings that spoke riffs that smiled
They tried to shape her tried to change
But she built her own damn name
Les Paul & lightning never bowed
Made em stare made em proud
Every run every bend
Took the stage and made em say Amen Amen
They told her soft they told her grace
But she played lead she took her place
In smoky bars in midnight air
They laughed at first but stopped to stare
Fought the ranks fought the rules
Played through scars played through fools
Every solo every hand
Turned the doubters into fans
Les Paul & lightning fire so wild
Strings that spoke riffs that smiled
They tried to shape her tried to change
But she built her own damn name
Les Paul & lightning never bowed
Made em stare made em proud
Every run every bend
Took the stage and made em say Amen Amen
longer electric guitar solo
Now when she plays the world stands still
A woman built in pure free will
Every note every tone
Carved in steel carved in stone
longer electric guitar solo
No more lessons no more rules
Just guitars just golden tools
From smoky bars to records stacked
She climbed the hill never looked back
longer electric guitar solo
Les Paul & lightning fire so wild
Strings that spoke riffs that smiled
They tried to shape her tried to change
But she built her own damn name
Les Paul & lightning never bowed
Made em stare made em proud
Every run every bend
Took the stage and made em say Amen Amen
made em say Amen

Dream a Little Dream of Me

Let’s not mince words here. Trump is the embodiment of corruption, greed, and incompetence. He’s a man who has spent his entire life looking out for himself, exploiting others, and leaving chaos in his wake. As De Niro so eloquently put it: *“He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. He’s a bullsh*t artist. He’s a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”* This isn’t just about politics—it’s about morality. It’s about standing up to a man who has no respect for the rule of law, no respect for the truth, and no respect for the American people.  

Trump’s presidency was a disaster. He divided the country, emboldened hate, and failed to deliver on his promises. He’s a man who thrives on chaos, who lies with every breath, and who cares only about his own ego. As De Niro said: *“He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a mutt. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s an idiot. He’s a fool.”* And yet, here we are, facing the possibility of him returning to power. We cannot let that happen. We cannot allow this man to continue to poison our democracy.  

This is not just about Trump—it’s about the people who enable him. The sycophants, the cowards, and the opportunists who stand by his side and allow his corruption to flourish. They are just as guilty as he is. As De Niro said: *“They’re all scum. They’re all mutts. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”* We need to hold them accountable. We need to stand up and fight back.  

The stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines. This is about the soul of our nation. It’s about protecting our democracy, our values, and our future. We cannot afford to let Trump and his enablers win. We must vote, we must organize, and we must make our voices heard. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna fight back. We’re gonna fight back with everything we’ve got.”*  

So let’s do this. Let’s come together and defeat Trump once and for all. Let’s show the world that we are better than this. That we will not tolerate corruption, lies, and hate. That we will stand up for what’s right. As De Niro said: *“We’re gonna win. We’re gonna win because we have to.”*  

This is our moment. This is our fight. Let’s get to work.

Woman’s Best Friend   by Edwin H. Balder
woman’s best friend ain't diamonds or gold
ain't the arms that say they’ll never let go
ain’t the promises ain't the chase
it’s the one who knows her own embrace
I've loved I've lost I've bent I've broke
I've clung to words that turned to smoke
I've walked through fire walked through rain
and learned I’m stronger when I stand again
I've laughed too loud I've cried too long
made my peace with right and wrong
but through the years through the days
it’s me who stayed it’s me who stays
woman’s best friend is herself
not the ones who promise then never help
not the hands that hold then let you drown
not the lips that leave when walls fall down
it’s the voice inside that says go on
the heart that fights when love is gone
through the storms through the end
woman’s best friend is herself ...again (again) again
she tells me girl don’t chase the light
if it flickers wrong it won’t shine bright
don’t hold too tight don’t fall too fast
don’t trade your worth for what won’t last
but I still run still believe
still let my heart wear its sleeve
she sees me stumble sees me spin
and shakes her head but pulls me in]
woman’s best friend is herself
not the ones who promise then never help
not the hands that hold then let you drown
not the lips that leave when walls fall down
it’s the voice inside that says go on
the heart that fights when love is gone
through the storms through the end
woman’s best friend is herself ...again (again) again
it ain’t the whispers ain't the rings
ain’t the love songs people sing
ain’t the fairytales ain't the chase
it’s the mirror that still holds your face
one day you'll see it clear like I do now
one day you’ll know just when to bow
not in surrender not in shame
but in knowing your own name
it’s not bitter it’s not hard
it’s just truth we learn in parts
every chapter every page
teaches us to stand not stay
woman’s best friend is herself
not the ones who promise then never help
not the hands that hold then let you drown
not the lips that leave when walls fall down
it’s the voice inside that says go on
the heart that fights when love is gone
through the storms through the end
woman’s best friend is herself ...again (again) again
so when the dust clears when the lights fade
when the love we swore starts to break
remember girl through time and trial
your best friend’s been here all the while
not in roses not in rings
not in the way a man might sing
but in the steadiness inside
that tells you how to rise
through the storms through the end
woman’s best friend is herself ...again (again) again
through the storms through the end
woman’s best friend is herself ...again (again) again

Woman’s Best Friend by Hot Cookie

Convenient by    Edwin H. Balder

missed the train by two full steps 

the kind of moment memory collects 

coffee slipped missed her call 

said she was fine wasn't fine at all 

how convenient 

how convenient 

they said it's better not to fight 

better to sleep than burn all night 

he bit his tongue she closed her eyes 

they stopped saying what was on their minds 

how convenient 

how convenient 

saw his father's hands in his own 

same silence same heavy tone 

always thought he'd break that chain 

until he felt the pull again 

how convenient 

how convenient 

friend moved on made a start 

posted smiling from his broken heart 

the kind of joy you fake online 

so no one calls and that's just fine 

how convenient 

how convenient 

bought a ticket for a plan he made 

never used it just watched it fade 

told himself he didn't care 

but looked for answers in the air 

how convenient 

how convenient 

he said someday so many times 

he lost the taste of crossing lines 

and every step he didn't take 

stacked like bricks he couldn't fake 

how convenient 

how convenient 

every dream had just one gate 

every no disguised as fate 

every pause each deep inhale 

a softer way to choose to fail 

how convenient 

how convenient 

so he stands feet to the floor 

knowing less but wanting more 

and maybe now he starts again 

but wont excuse the where and when 

no more endings dressed as grace 

no more silence taking space 

no more quiet used to stall 

no more echo down the hall 

how convenient 

how convenient 

how convenient 

no more quiet 

no more echo 

how convenient convenient convenient
