Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

A Million Voices

Posted October 26, 2002 5:33pm ET

This tile-floored palace sits before me
Atmospheric disturbance and I see it
Billowing from the skies of the southeast
A feast

And while I sit the sirens scream
Frightened patience wastes away in moments

On the way out, we’re on the way up
Time to make our hasty escape
Before time runs too late

The pavement leaps away beneath us
Rushing with a vengeance and I see it
Towering from the skies in the west
No rest

And while we run the engines gun
And slow motion moments waste away in time

On the way out, we’re on the way up
Time to make our hasty escape
Before time runs too late

These airline seats small and fearless
Lead walls closed doors and I feel it
Billowing southeastern dust cloud
So loud

And while I sit the sirens scream
A million voices cry out their finalized words

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
