" A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed;
a dream of a land w here men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few;
a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character;
a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity;
the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality."

Calcutta ( Kolkata ) in the state of West Bengal in India.
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand
