Gil Scott Heron - We Almost Lost Detroit

DEADICATED TO THE SHADY SHADY DARK PLACES OF THE WORLD:

"HOT PURSUIT OF THE BATTLES THAT NEVER WIN"

IN 'HOT PURSUIT' OF WAR
WE HAVE OUR BATTLES.
MANY WE LOST, SOME WE WIN,
BUT MOST JUST GO ON FOREVER.

FOREVER IS A LONG TIME
FROM A TIME OF LONG AGO,
WREAKING HAVOC OF PEOPLE LIVES
FOREVER IS A LONG TIME.

A MONUMENT OF WALKING DEAD.
OTHERS DEAD AND WALKING,
SOME WALKING AND DEAD.
FOREVER IS A LONG TIME.

IT'S A CITY OF SORROW
MANY WE LOST, SOME WE WIN,
BUT FOREVER IS A LONG TIME.
FOREVER GOES ON FOREVER.
