I wrote this in the mid 90's. I used to have a pair of glasses that I bought when I had lost my pair. My eye doc at the time happened to have this cool pair of amber-pinkish tinge. In small white script on the bottom of right lens in lovely script was inscribed "Ellen." Later, I was inspired to tell people my name is Ellen Damnation. Aspiring comedienne and all :) I later added a middle name which means "of the streets." Ellen de la Strata Damnation is a woman of the "People"!

My name is Ellen
And I'm yell'en
For a self-love revival
Among the children
Yes, I'm swell'en
For a rebellion
Among the lowdown
What's called for is a hoedown
A revival
For survival
Among the People
The disenfranchised,
Misaligned,
Lower socio-economic
Psychically raped
Mis-informed masses.
It's time to rise!
Bootstrap,
My ass
Get a glass
And raise a toast
Face the ghost
Demons dine on minds
While the carnage continues of our youth.

My name is Ellen
An' I'm swell'en
For a rebellion
Against our oppressors,
Those mindless yessee, yessirs
Instead of being aimless
Be blameless
With the seeds of self-forgiveness
In our streets,
We will defeat the powers that be!
