BeaconRay's Reason to Be-- by Drake Raft I picked up a pen so to give the gift,
to the rational which resides in all,
to lend my peers' subtle spirits a lift,
felt it my fate to answer reason's call.
The liberal kicked it out of her class,
college presidents turned the other way,
MTV blunted young souls with the crass,
destroyed the context in which I could say;
"I believe there is the Truth eternal,
In words I see what the Great Souls did see,"
some force today hates the individual,
from it I shall set The Great Books free.
Humble before you, dusty on the shelves,
speak to the people now. Speak for yourselves.
The BeaconRay Slacker Pack Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, J.D. Salinger's Nine Stories, Walt Whitman's Selected Poems,
Herman Melville's Moby Dick & Ken Kesey's One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Girl: Yeah, but I never read. Not those.
Drake: Well you'd like 'em.
