Re: RIP Tina Turner
Damn
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

Re: RIP Tina Turner
(Verse 1)
In the heartland of Tennessee, a star once shone,
A girl named Tina, her spirit strong.
She sang, she danced, and dreamt so wide,
In the southern sun, she found her stride.
(Chorus)
She was simply the best, better than all the rest,
She tamed life's river, and passed each test.
Her voice like thunder, bold and firm,
Her legacy, an eternal term.
(Verse 2)
From Nutbush city limits, to the global stage,
She conquered battles, with wisdom and rage.
Her voice, her strength, a beacon so bright,
In the heart of the night, she was the light.
(Chorus)
She was simply the best, a cut above the rest,
With her soulful melodies, she was truly blessed.
The warrior queen, in rhythm and blues,
She danced through life, in shiny shoes.
(Bridge)
Through Ike, there was strife, and a flash of fame,
Then came liberation, a new name.
In her stride she found peace, let love increase,
On life's winding journey, she found release.
(Chorus)
She was simply the best, better than all the rest,
Her spirit, a wild and beautiful crest.
Through the highs and the lows, the joy and the hurt,
Tina, the diamond, forever in the earth.
(Outro)
So here's to Tina, a force of nature that once flowed,
In the rhythm of life, she was a beacon that glowed.
Her music, our river, deep and wide,
She was Tina Turner, and she took us on a life's ride.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
