Started as hairless apes
Started shifting shapes
Clothing, leaves of grapes
Save us from disgrace
(save face)

Tainted… forbidden fruit
Garden… got the boot
Work… toil the soil
Strain… give birth in pain
Insane?

Given birth on Earth
Habit kickin’ habitat
What’s that? Stable genius
Less n’ less amongst us

What’s That.mp3

One person’s trash is an other’s treasure
One person’s work is an other’s leisure
One person’s passion is an other’s pain
One person’s fashion is an other’s vain

Caterpillar’s ending… butterfly’s beginning
A king’s demanding as pauper’s begging
First to draw the last straw
Frozen winter starts to thaw

Start to begin and the end’s done in
Begin to start… the ends depart
For sure the future will endure
Even as the present passes to past
Time rolls on
Dawn of dawn

The New Sedition.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
A song inspired by Iran’s supreme leader and the protests of the “New Sedition”:

Supreme Leader Khamenei has blamed the protests on enemies of Iran. And, today, the commander of the elite Revolutionary Guard sent troops into three provinces to put down what he called the new sedition.

Iran’s supreme leader was in a supremely sarcastic mood Tuesday as he gave a speech to a sea of military officials. His target: Trump’s first foreign policy moves.

“We actually thank this new president! We thank him, because he made it easier for us to reveal the real face of the United States,” said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a transcript posted on his official website. “… Now, with everything he is doing — handcuffing a child as young as 5 at an airport — he is showing the reality of American human rights.”

Of bombogenesis
Adaptation of Revelation
Cyclical biblical
Of portion proportion
Seekin’ shelter
Takin’ cover
Careful what you wish…
Might start raining frozen fish
Please don’t leave me standing all alone…
Bomb cyclone

Could be the feaster of a Nor’ Easter
Jumbo shrimp? No need to skimp
Should be a whale of a wail tail/tale
When the mumbo bombo bomb cyclone hits home
If I had my druthers,
I’d rather mainly Maine lobsters*

Floundering in flounder-ings
I’m up to my ass in sea bass
Careful what you wish…
Might start raining frozen fish
Please don’t leave me standing all alone…

May the day dawn on you

Soar to highest heights
Into the bright lights
May the day dawn on you

Searching to see
L. O. V. E.
Harking to hear
“Nothing to fear”
By the glow of candle light
In the know on Christmas night

People everywhere
Get together to share
Where ever they live
Willing to give

Let’s seek the meek
Help peak the weak
Shower those lower
With our hour of power

Time for bed
Lay your head
I thank you…
Yes, I do

By the glow of candle light
In the know on Christmas night

What about if it does
Rise higher than it was
On the horizon
The tide keeps risin’
They revel about the sea level
Well, not being level
Trending upward on land disheveled

Where the land and “see” merge
You land submerged at the shore

The cream rises to the top
What good is a saying
From here to the ear STOP

Has time come for you to run
No place to hide?
Nerves come undone

Understand the bird-in-hand
Wouldn’t have died
If she didn’t land

Making haste ain’t making waste
Wont subside
No taste for paste

Toward sunset with no regret
Been a great ride
That I’ll never forget

Imagine that
Right or wrong
Someday…
I’ll lay

Shedding all mystique
Into the crosswalk creep
Really not that far
From being hit by a car
Oblivious
To all of us

Before you end up old
Come out of your own world
Before you end up dead
Listen to what you said

How come you’re in the midst of Vietnam
Lost calm… a pig slaughtered… turned to ham
Singing the Napalm Psalm Song
Head in the sand for how long?
Do you think we might
See the new day’s light?

How the scales fit your hips
On the other hand
How to understand
You’ve hands and lips?
How can we meet
How can we complete compete
With survival

As the fittest

And, I’ll try to be your humane human man?

Been there?
St. Dennis Fair
Are you, too?

A stilt walking musician
Said, “I’ll meet you there.”
Where a larger than life
Ferris wheel
Became real
Talk about zeal
To the beat
IN the summer heat
Hot girls hot
In their tube-tops
Trying not
To run from cops
If it starts to rain
Will we remain
In your stride
On the ride
Going roundabout
Guys shout
Gals scream
Living the dream

Give balance a chance

Melt your face

Can you lend me hand
To try and understand
Why we can’t get together
Why never say never?

A snowman with a suntan
What makes it oh so wrong
Or an alligator with a sunbather
It’s a one-sided savor

When a hawk comes a bluejay’s way
Is squawking a bird’s song
Give some candy to a baby
The survivor is no maybe

The rat and I will have to testify
Will I ratify
The rat and you will have to do that, too
Will you testify
Will you ratify

Here’s a list:
Does space exist?
Is the thought odd
Of sensing God?
Then how on Earth… or above…
Can I say, “God is love”?
… as simple as that?
You mean it doesn’t have to be so complicated
… as simple as that?

Imagine this…
Add it to the list:
Frictionless
You’re in space and just like that — SNAP!
Your tether goes snap
My suggestion:
Stick with friction
Friction saves your life every time it rains
Without friction the rain would go right through our brains!
Thus, avoid frictionless
… as simple as that?
You mean it doesn’t have to be so complicated
… as simple as that?

Another psychopathic hurricane
I am whipped, beatin’ and slammed
Don’t know if I’m going home?

Try to cut loose
The caboose
Chasing this train in vain
’cause Conductor, I checked and re-checked our vector
Why chase the train in vain
Off the tracks
No come-backs
This train is runaway
Wouldn’t you say?
On a runaway symphony
Better alert the engine-ear
Ya better stand clear
It’s out-of-control… we’re all… out-of-control
In fact, Conductor,
It’s sounding more and more
Like Rock n’ Roll
… ain’t that classical at all

The End of the line is a mighty fine line
They say you don’t want to cross
This ain’t no coin toss
They say you don’t want to take any chances
’cause there are no seconds
Minutes, days, years
No more tears…
No more joys…
No more noise
No, no more more
No, no train will remain

The playground
We have found
Is the instance
Of existence

Christmas Candle Light

LYRICS
There’s a way
A cold day
Gets the season
Underway
Then, the glow
Sunshine in the window
Participant in the radiant
With warmth, come to know

The leaves left
Leaving in the light
Shadow’s theft
Looming is the night
Afterglow
Lighting candles in a row
Participant in the radiant
With warmth come to know

If time must transpire
Might as well, light a fire
Participants in the radiance
If time must transpire
By the light of the fire
By a candle light’s glow
With warmth come to know

LYRICS
So, this is what we’re waiting for
This moment and not a moment more
Are you really, really
Are you really, really
Sure?

And the sky’s a lovely hue of blue
With the sun reflecting the light that’s you (all of you)
All is clear the here is now
All is here it’s clear it’s now

Anticipate it’s well worth the wait
A vacuum in space void of hate
Are you really, really
Are you really, ready
Participate

An excursion in immersion flow in’
Fill with still yet know in’ move in’
Are you really, really
Are you really, ready
To join in’

Political bull$hit, cash cow

What’s the purpose
Of all this fuss
What’s the purpose
For all of us

Cause distress
Implied chaos

Disastrous
God, save us!

So serious
Are you curious
Are you nervous
For us?

Take it from an old man
Better smile while you can
Sooner of later our days will end
It’s all a matter of what we do ’til then

Don’t let runnin’ round get you down
Give your mouth’s corners a lift
Turning the frown upside down
As you give you receive the gift
Giving corners the lift

Hello is anybody near
Hello is anybody here

Is there any light in sight
Is there any light insight
At the end of the tunnel
Is there any insight into the light
At the end of the tunnel

At the end of the tunnel
Is it the beginning of the light
Is the end the beginning… is that right
Have I got that right
Beginning of the light
Light insight

When going down the road
If you lighten your load
The toll of the total
Is less brutal
As a matter of fact
You can’t get it back
And, there’s really nothing that you lack

When you reach your golden years
Are you past your friggin’ fears
Are you able to forget
Skeletons in your closet
Are there no more tears
Not a regret
Is your last chapter…
Happily ever-after

Maybe you can find your happy place
Far, far, far-out in space
Maybe there’s enough room
To harbor your gloom?

If you go your own way
Maybe that’s O.K.
Another day
Together play

Take your marbles and go home
Face your problems all alone
When your back in the zone
Feel free to pick up the phone

For the next stage
Enlarge the cage
Oh, believe me
Ready to be free
A whole new page
Out of this cage
I want to be “really” free
So, please help me

Where is the sign
“Free All The Time”
Wish I had known
I could have grown
Free all the time
It’s a state of mind
To thyself as to others… be kind
As others to you, too… be kind

Do you believe in music?
That it can cure the sick?
Then, this “this”
Is our bliss

Are you our knight in shining armor
Then, this is our bliss
Thus, this bliss is for us
This bliss
Music can cure the sick
This bliss
