“Blackbird singing in the dead of
night
Take these broken wings and learn
to fly.
All your life
You were only waiting for this
moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of
night
Take these sunken eyes and learn
to see.
All your life
You were only waiting for this”
moment to be free.

the blacks to rise to power

Manson Quotes
• “You made your children what they
are.... These children that come at
you with knives, they are your
children. You taught them. I didn't
teach them. I just tried to help them
stand up.... You can project it back at
me, but I am only what lives inside
each and every one of you.”
