Hosier Take me to Church video tribute. (Why being a closet gay is to do harm to your kind.)
They decide who loves whom. They do not like the fact that I loved you. The kiss, the time at the riverfront, the cigarettes smoked together and the laughter, it all filled them with jealousy. I could do nothing to stop it, they wore masks, went to your house, pushed your poor old dad aside, and dragged you out to tie you to a stake with a metal brick and a chain so you could not escape. I ran to warn you but reached too late. Saw them set you on fire, how can I ever forget that sight.
Take me to church so I can pray for them to burn in hell as they made you burn,
they got under my skin, they got under my craw, but they can never decide who a man should love.
Desert Koshur Qalam - کآشُر قلم January 22 Poetry challenge prompt poem by Dr. Koshy AV
This poem defeats fascists 
You all call me/us names
to my/our face/s
and you make plans
to destroy me/us
behind my/our back/s
Then when I look through you
Because for me, you no longer exist
You feel it
You get hurt
But you never show it
How does it feel to meet someone
who does not care,
Who is your equal, for once?
That's what it feels like to be in the desert
That's all that remains of the kingdom of Ozymandias.
I finished watching Get Back finally, which is directed by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit fame. It was boring in parts and I was forced to use the skip mode but worth it for the build-up and the insights into their creative process and their disintegration, being four too-highly-talented individuals. It was not a break up in the traditional sense, unlike in the case of Pink Floyd, where bad blood still exists between Gilmour and Waters, but just a natural kind of drifting apart and wanting to do their own thing. The climax of the unannounced show on the rooftop that still draws a huge crowd which is divided in its opinion as to what to think of it shows why the Beatles was one of the greatest bands to come out of Britain and in the world. They produced great rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and rock and the bonus is sometimes their lyrics touch sublime heights. All in all at the end of watching it, due to their lovable next door guys characters and the show and their songwriting process being revealed and their relationships with their women, with a lovely real-life cameo with Heather (Paul's daughter), fans, detractors and others as well as their astonishing range of songs backward into their own repertoire and to that of others with a few attempts at Dylan thrown in and the Rolling Stones a constant presence in their absence with references to Allan Klein and the Stones Circus where Lennon appeared, it becomes a documentary series worth watching. However, if you are not a die-hard Beatles or rock music fan, unlike me just skip to the rooftop show in part 3, held on top of the studio they recorded in on Savile Row in Westminster 1 and you will "get back" to it repeatedly, I assure you.
Glyn Jones (sound engineer), Billy Preston (keyboards), George Martin (the fifth Beatle), Peter Sellers, Alan Parsons, Michael Lindsay Hogg (maker of the film), Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney, Patti Harrison (not yet Clapton), and Maureen Starkey (Ringo's wife) add to the cast of characters that make it famous. The bobbies are lost at what to do and there are a few others who count who I have not named, all in all, a worthwhile cast if ever there was one. Shot over twenty-two days in Twickenham and Savile Row and ending not only in this show but in the classic album Let It Be that contains Let It Be and Long and Winding Road, not to forget Across the Universe. The rooftop concert has them playing Get Back twice, Don't Let Me Down, Dig A Pony, I've Got a Feeling, One after 909, and Two of Us, an absolutely delightful and at times blistering performance.
