The Greatest - RIP
Why should me and other so-called negro go 10,000 miles from home here in America to drop bombs and bullets on other innocent brown people who never bothered us? And I will say directly: "No, I will not go."

"My conscious won't let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America. And shoot them for what? They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they put no dogs on me, they didn't rob me of my nationality, raped and killed my mother and father. Well, shoot them for what? I am not gonna shoot them. They are little poor black people, little babies and children, women. ... Why don't you just take me to jail."
Muhammad Ali on the Vietnam War (vid)

Vi tog det stora steget en dag och åkte ut till
Jakobsberg, Märta och jag. Det var i juni 2003.
Den japanska träddödaren tycktes fortfarande
trivas i backen.
- Var skog har nog sin källa,
- Var äng sin blomma har.
- Vart hjärta har sin saga
- Från flydda ungdomsdar.
- Skogens källa sinar,
- och ängens blomma dör.
- Men hjärtats egen saga
- ej någon tid förstör.
- Hedenstjerna.
