Sage Francis- Makeshift Patriot (2001)




Sage recorded this song in October 2001 after the tragic attacks on 9/11. It's my opinion that Since 9/11 we've all been living on a kind of "auto pilot". Not taking the time to rationally & logically make sense out of the new world we found ourselves in. Choosing to act & react out of fear, hate, misinformation, greed, lust, envy or what have you. The scars we as a nation carry from that tragic day in history have come to define us amongst our own country men & the world at large. Now i'm not posting this to get on any "soap box" and preach but only to spark conversation & provoke thought. Whatever your position is on the war, immigration, rap, reality tv, Sarah Palin, the tea party, or the President doesn't really matter in the big picture. Those are your opinions and you're in the right country to have them. What does matter though are the facts and the unfortunate fact they all to often get muddled over by peoples opinion. This song is one man's opinion on what's was really going on in the hearts, minds on the streets & in our homes the days, months & years following September 11, 2001. Take from it what you will but please TURN IT UP!! Oh and don't forget to take more than a second and think. Peace. Props to 2Dopeboyz.
