Tony, we're on the same page. I could write volumes about this.
By the way, yes, I remember when you commented about this song, unsolicited. I was quite proud of that. I am proud of this song and you liked it over others, that made my day. Man, I've worked so hard on this! Which doesn't matter, I know.
I have posted this song before on several forums, seeking input. Reason is, again, I am surrounded by people who disagree with what I feel. So, what's a fella do?
I was brought up in the 60s. The era of dissent. It seems to me, that today, in the deep south, anyway, dissent is the bad guy. And I'll leave you with this...

The only reason I post songs on here is to get feedback and ideas about my work and how to improve my technique. Both the songs above (and yours if I may dare to suggest it Semi) provoke critiques that are about the subject matter as opposed to the song itself. If people hate / disagree with the message they are going to find it difficult to then be constructive with regard to the song.
Personally I did not want the songs above to be judged on the 'message' alone.
The thing is, my question was pertaining to message alone. The posted song is a very rough demo, guitar/vocal only. It's not about anything other than the message. Does it offend?
And again, the lyric I posted above, that's about as mild as I can make it and have it say anything.
