       George Harrison

       Today I've found myself playing the song "Run Of The Mill"
       several times.  This is an underrated Harrison song and I only
       fully realised its beauty quite recently.

       Everyone has choice
       When to and not to raise their voices
       It's you that decides
       Which way will you turn
       While feeling that our love's not your concern
       It's you that decides
       No one around you
       Will carry the blame for you
       No one around you
       Will love you today and throw it all away
       Tomorrow when you rise
       Another day for you to realize me
       Or send me down again
       As the days stand up on end
       You've got me wondering how I lost your friendship
       But I see it in your eyes
       Though I'm beside you
       I can't carry the lame for you
       I may decide to
       Get out with your blessing
       Where I'll carry on guessing
       How high will you leap
       Will you make enough for you to reap it?
       Only you'll arrive
       At your own made end
       With no one but yourself to be offended
       It's you that decides
       The opening lines are more relevant now than ever as humanity is
       at a turning point.  I hear this song as a commentary on where
       we are now with those of us parting ways with this tyrannical,
       fascist system which has had a spell over humanity for so long,
       having to wave goodbye to those who are still caught up in it.
       A recognition that although we may love those people, some who
       are old friends, we can no longer "carry the lame for you" or
       "carry the blame for you" and that we must take responsibility
       for ourselves and those who are ready to go into uncharted
       territory.
