HAPPY ENDING

About Me

DAVID RAT is an American author from
the lower east side of Manhattan
and a celebrated NYC drummer...
Mentored by controversial poet Bill Shields
(Rat's one time sponser in Narcotics Anonymous)
his work is drawn from a life
of rock and roll and heroin addiction....
"We are going to inherit the earth . There is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie may blast and burn its own world before it finally leaves the stage of history. We Are not afraid of ruins. We who ploughed the prairies and built the cities can build again, only better next time. We carry a new world, here in our hearts. That world is growing this minute." ----Durruti
When I feed the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist. --Dom Helder Camara....
“A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.” Edward Abbey...
“When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” Sinclair Lewis
