I'd really like to believe I am right with my guess.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

dear god man 8O
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Only two of the names up there are actual presidents.

actually russian was a communist state untill recently and i can't quite put my finger on it, but it's a very bad comparrison considering Canada is your neighbor who also happens to be your countries "closest ally" and we also happen to speak english and share media. Putin maybe though????? oh and also canada doesn't have the confusion of government changes such as russia, and many people would acciodently choose a cumminist leader forgetting they wern't presidents

actually i'm young enough though that it was before my time to know it, plus, i did learn it this year in history of western civ, but seeing as how it was western civ we didn't spend much time on it, so i forget who it is, but alot of those last names are communist ex. trotsky
