***** Phil Oachs: Love me, I'm a [activist] Liberal




 
See lyrics below.

Phil Ochs -- Love me, I'm a liberal

İ cried when they shot Medgar Evers
Tears ran down my spine
I cried when they shot Mr. Kennedy
As though I'd lost a father of mine
But Malcolm X got what was coming
He got what he asked for this time
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I go to civil rights rallies
And I put down the old D.A.R.
I love Harry and Sidney and Sammy
I hope every colored boy becomes a star
But don't talk about revolution
That's going a little bit too far
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I cheered when Humphrey was chosen
My faith in the system restored
I'm glad the commies were thrown out
of the A.F.L. C.I.O. board
I love Puerto Ricans and Negros
as long as they don't move next door
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

The people of old Mississippi
Should all hang their heads in shame
I can't understand how their minds work
What's the matter don't they watch Les Crain?
But if you ask me to bus my children
I hope the cops take down your name
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I read New republic and Nation
I've learned to take every view
You know, I've memorized Lerner and Golden
I feel like I'm almost a Jew
But when it comes to times like Korea
There's no one more red, white and blue
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

I vote for the democratic party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Once I was young and impulsive
I wore every conceivable pin
Even went to the socialist meetings
Learned all the old union hymns
But I've grown older and wiser
And that's why I'm turning you in
So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

'Loving, is it tough living with a cancer diagnosis,' a friend asked? 'Nope....'

Hi.  The other day in an email, among the things a friend commented on,
very compassionately, was how difficult it must be with a cancer diagnosis.

I didn't mean to blow past that, it was  just that other things in that
email grabbed my attention.

In well over a decade I'm unaware of any second that my own mortality
has concerned me personally, as it might have in my earliest years.  HOWEVER, my mortality as it relates to the benefit or cost thereof to those to whom I
am trying to be a benefit concerns, and conerned me throughout adulthood,
greatly.  Even 20 years ago, or so, off and on, when business downturns
threatened my income, layoffs, whatever, and my life was of little emotional benefit to the woman I was married to, and the two bio-sons I had, otherwise, my only thought was how to commit suicide in such a way that they could collect on the insurance, that I would not lead the boys to ever do the same, and in a way that they all would not be too embarrassed, or traumatized (grossed-out) by how I off'd myself.  Obviously I squeakedby on this one, never figured out a way that satisfied all those requirements. Well, except I 'killed' myself to be sure the income kept coming, thru the downturns, fulfilling my Loving duty as husband and father, as best I knew to do.  LOL.

It will be interesting to see if things change, but regarding the cancer, so far
not a twinge of personal concern.  My guess is that if and when it takes me,
I'll probably be able to get into a hospice to manage the pain, tho even when
just weeks ago I was guessing till-death institutionalization due to the Death Fast, guessing the cancer would take me, painfully, in a psych ward, still, no twinge of concern for myself.  
It is pretty simple - Life is ONLY found in the face of the emergency of others - I greedily do whatever I have to to Live there - now, averting global Ecocide - I soooo completely identify with the billions we are torturing that there just isn't room to be concerned with myself, EXCEPT as it relates to removing a tool, an avatar, a Loving Spirit from a role that may be beneficial to them.  I am not reckless, casual or irresponsible with these tools I've been given to work for others. But these tools, me, are of interest as a means to an end not in themselves. It is Heaven. Sanity.  "If you seek to hold on to your life, you will lose it.  If you seek to lose (totally give) your Life for the sake of our global neediest Family, you will Gain your Life."  Amen. 

What may seem confusing, and contradictory to this is, well, my depression
of last week or so - completely gone now.  That was zero concern about
my own mortality or suffering -it was horror at how to keep serving in view of
nice, Nurse Ratched-responding folks around me that seemed all to happy
to have me 'Dead' for 6 months in a place like Christ House (no internet, no working, no laptop...) while 60% of that time I otherwise maybe could be fighting for our kids! That was a horror to me, "Cuckoo's Nest,"  the prospects of being useless to our billions for half a year!  The horror of the nice folks around me so zombie-like, dead, clueless, heart-dead.  Did you ever see "The English Patient?"  And of course, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?"
