Da Vinci is the meaning of Renaissance

Leonardo Da Vinci is just an average guy that does his everyday work. Or does he? The answer is no because Da Vinci is a unique man that dreams for succession in his everyday life. If this man was never born the world as we know it won't be. Da Vinci invented many things because he dared to dream. We have helicopters today because one of his ideas was adapted by some guy I don't know. Renaissance is 'rebirth' and Da Vinci defied that because he invented and adapted and improved inventions. Even warfare was reborn due to Da Vinci's knowledge of the techniques that may be used to destroy enemies. A unique man of the Renaissance and his name was Leonardo Da Vinci.

Treasure is Nothing

Treasure

The treasure waits patiently as the boy goes through the challenges.

Coated in gold and jewels.

Just shining with dirt in its casing.

~by Ikmal Khanafiah

In The Alchemist Coelho shows that the treasure isn't really all that important but what is important is the fact that the recepient can go through the road of trials in order to achieve his/her destiny. These days are too modern and it makes people say that you can't always achieve your dream and you can't always get what you want. But that is not true because what you dream will someday become reality but it's only just a matter of time and place and your decisions.

Good For Nothing

Avenged Sevenfold - Critical Acclaim

Shh be quiet, you might piss somebody off 
Like me m0t#3rf$K(, you've been at it for too long 
While you feed off others insecurities
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds 

(Self-righteousness is wearing thin)
Lies inside your head your best friend 
(Heart bleeds but not for fellow man)
Broken glass, your fake reflection 

I've had enough its time for something real  
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, acclaim!!

So how does it feel to know that someones kid in the heart of America
Has blood on their hands, fighting to defend your rights
So you can maintain the lifestyle that insults his family's existence
Well, where I'm from we have a special salute we aim high in the air
Towards all those pompous @$$holes who spend their days pointing fingers

F*©@ you

Shh be quiet, you might piss somebody off
Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long
I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy
Collecting enemies

(Damn Lord gots queen, worthless man)
There's no need for us to bury you
(Selfish agenda, once again)
Right this way, you've dug your own grave

I've had enough its time for something real  
Don't respect the words you're speaking
Gone too far, !

All the way from the east to the west 
We've got this high society looking down on this very foundation
Constantly reminding us that our actions are the cause of all their problems
Pointing the fingers in every direction 
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections 
They've never contributed a fucking thing to the country they love to criticize

Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue
Depictions we see, try and get through
Admitting mistakes can't hurt
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first

Shh be quiet, you might piss somebody off

(Self-righteousness is wearing thin)
Lies inside your head your best friend 
(Heart bleeds but not for fellow man)
Broken glass, your fake reflection 

I've had enough its time for something real  
Don't respect these words you speaking
You've gone too far, acclaim

Freedom

The United States of America, the

land of the free is not exactly what it 

is now than what it was back then because 

back then, people were 

segregated from white to black. 

After all the protesting and wars 

between the north and the south, 

the Civil War, the segregation came to 

an end and the citizens 

became united as one. The change took a 

while to set in seeing as the people 

didn't like not having so that 

they're lives couldn't be easier.

The Civil War is one of the most mental war because when the north fought 

the south it was like they were fighting brother vs brother.

Critical Acclaim is a song where it is probably talking about the Civil War 

because back then slaves, no matter how old they were, fought in wars.
