A.K.A. F.A.D Series V: Oz

The Scarecrow does not need a brain to make the freedom birds flee,
See, the Tinman's true measure of a heart is as hard as steel,
Feel it, the Lion is King of the Jungle, with courage to do it,
You must learn all of it, in order to believe it,
In order to keep it, your faith,
In order to keep it, moving forward,

Yo-yo, my alter ego - Filipino American Dream is a bit crazy,
No-no, I'm no hero, I feel like Superman on kryptonite, I'm a bit dizzy,
Pop a Serc, I'm a Merc on a mission,
My vision goes a bit hazy, I get lazy, waiting on the comeback,
Attacks come & go like traffic on SLEX to EDSA, until northbound on NLEX,
Flex your muscles, the meds are kicking in,
Win-win moments are die-hard to come by,
My-my you don your red cape,
Escape reality to a Land of Oz,
Cause & effect you do your best,
Test your courage, glass slippers end at midnight,
Fight another night, you repeat the tricycle,
Armor on, you're a soldier like an Archangel Michael,
Never-ending cycle, you know love is a battlefield,
Yield in the Fields of Gold to keep moving forward,
Onward to this injustice, sickness & confounding faith,

The Scarecrow does not need a brain to make the freedom birds flee,
See, the Tinman's true measure of a heart is as hard as steel,
Feel it, the Lion is King of the Jungle, with courage to do it,
You must learn all of it, in order to believe it,
In order to keep it, your faith,
In order to keep it, moving forward,

Check engine light is on,
Begone by the plight of sight,
Fight on, take the hits & don't quit,
S**t happens all the time, drop a dime,
Crime is one thing, this is a life sentence,
Go the distance, its 20 years to life, before burn-out,
Clout by the blow to stand-up, aural fullness & constant ringing in the ears,
Fear - there is none, its survival mode,
Code of conduct is out the window,
Over-shadowed by the over-bearing strikes,
Drop a mic, this triumph is not game-over,
Comptroller or controller assess the situation, this fighter pilot is not ejecting,
Quitting is not in my calculation:

Do you copy, Scarecrow, Tinman, Cowardly Lion;

Clarification is me,
Vindication is me,
Accountability is me,

The Scarecrow does not need a brain to make the freedom birds flee,
See, the Tinman's true measure of a heart is as hard as steel,
Feel it, the Lion is King of the Jungle, with courage to do it,
You must learn all of it, in order to believe it,
In order to keep it, your faith,
In order to keep it, moving forward,

Copy that FAD, all systems roll,
Control, switch-over & show them what you're made of:

Anti-Vertigo, on
Anti-Seizure, on
Anti-Nerve, on
Anti-Pain, on

Fight on, take flight & keep sight,
Fight on, take flight & keep sight,
Fight on, take flight & keep sight,

Right now, I'm about to break,
No hate, just relate what was the mission,
No love, just a white dove what was the vision,
Destination unknown, core values:

Honor, Courage & Commitment

Resentment, there is none, this is life or death,
MEF did not kill me, see this U. S. Marine knows the why now, knows all the evidence,
Providence got my back, Scarecrow got my front, Tinman on my left & Lion on my right wing,

The Scarecrow does not need a brain to make the freedom birds flee,
See, the Tinman's true measure of a heart is as hard as steel,
Feel it, the Lion is King of the Jungle, with courage to do it,
You must learn all of it, in order to believe it,
In order to keep it, your faith,
In order to keep it, moving forward,

Air traffic controller:

AKA FAD, you're clear for landing...
