Song Of Glory

                                           (Written from The Court of the Crimson King)


Sing a song of glory

Play the trumpet of joy

Beat the drum to save the holy

Before tomorrow is gone

The beast will hold you, trick you

Caging you in castles from times long gone

Filling your brain with a slaver’s dreams

Destroying the rainbow beauty of now

So, sing up the song of glory

Kill the beast to save the holy

Bury the killer of joy

Deep in his tomb of fear

Leave him now

Feel the breeze of reason

Helping you write your own song

Remember your freedom is yours to keep

Yes, take down his flag unholy

Return your mind to joy

You must sing the song of glory

End the reign of the would be the king

DAVID YOUNG David Young is a friend of mine. He is a hero and an uncommon genius. David lived in foster care until he was 7 and then in mental institutions for 20 years - misdiagnosed as a schizophrenic. With this background, most of us would have given up on life. Not David. He became an expert in myrmecology, the scientific study of ants, as well as developing an in-depth knowledge of many other insects such as bees and wasps. He also taught himself micro-photography. His photographs are things of beauty. He transforms things like a bee's stomach or a wasp's venom gland into visual jewels. The following are some of his most recent works. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Please credit David Young if you use any of them, and let me know at justdale777@gmail.com, so I can get word to David. He will be thrilled.

WARNING: This tale may offend you. It contains scenes of murder, rape, incest, and extreme animal cruelty. Please don’t read it if you have a tender heart. GRADY'S DUMPLINGS I shot Daddy before I ate his cat. Me and Daddy was in the kitchen. The bulb hanging from the cord in the ceiling swung back and forth shining light and then dark on Daddy’s face. The shot from Granddaddy's shotgun took off the top of his head. Brains, blood and skull flew all over Mamma’s rose curtains, the ones she embroidered last spring before the cancer took her. I begged her to stop smoking, but she wouldn’t listen. Now there was a bloody mess all over the last pretty thing she made. Daddy fell and began flopping around – making a real mess. I held him down with the gun barrel while I put a slug in his chest. Maybe it hit his heart. Maybe not. But he stopped flopping. My hands got bloody as I wiped down the kitchen real good. Mamma always taught us to clean up our own mess. Then I drug Dad...

Chapter 2: Cancer Barry Morrow’s encouragement launched Just Dale , but before it was written, Just Dale , had to be lived. A big part of the living happened when kidney cancer entered my life. Comfy in my recliner, a large screen TV with surround-sound flickers as the great white from Jaws chomps on Captain Quint. The phone rings. It’s Dr. Kaiser, my urologist. “ Dale, I am afraid I have some bad news.” My mouth is suddenly dry, but I manage to respond, “Yes?” “ We have your test results. You have a tumor on your left kidney. I am sure it is cancerous. I showed the results to an oncologist and he concurs.” Suddenly, there is very little air in the room. “ What does this mean?” My hearing fades in and out as Dr. Kaiser continues. “ We’ve caught it early...very lucky...usually takes a long time to manifest...too late...appears to be localized...could perform a biopsy...results would be unreliable.” I inhale for the first time since hearing the word cancer. “ ...
