Sophisticated Ignance

Swastika is a small community founded around a mining site in Northern Ontario, Canada in 1908. The town was named after the Sanskrit good-luck symbol Swastika.

The swastika is a symbol that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four legs bent at 90 degrees. It is considered to be a very sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.

The word swastika derives from the Sanskrit svastika “lucky or auspicious object”.  [x]

During the second world war, various attempts were made by government officials to change the name to Winston, in honor of Winston Churchill. But the locals resisted, tearing down new signs and replacing them with another: “To hell with Hitler. We had the swastika first”. The town is still called Swastika. [x]

Reckons I got a drinking problem

I’ve been sinking a lot of whiskey

Reminiscing about the shit forgotten

Never worry about ones who miss me

Trust

‘Cos I ain’t thought about the past time

See I just pour another glass like

I ain’t up in the morning still yawning from the last night

Time never been on my side
