It’s time to embrace
The start of the race
Run after the starting gun
Hope I do
Remember to
Finishing line run through

The optimists
Within exists
Remember we’re not through
Body’s dead
The life we led
Get to start anew?

When viewed
You’ve come unglued
Time to be subdued
Lewd, rude, crude

Flood the hate
With the love
Flood the light
From above
Not too late
Flood with love
Suffocate hate
Show ’em what we’re made of?
We’re made of love

The insight of floodlight
Floodlight incite in sight
Invite floodlight

LYRICS
Handicap. Have you got one, too?
All of us, just trying to get through
Following orders… hut, 1, 2
Starting to think that just won’t do
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before it dies

Drum Castle

Stuck inside your castle walls
Waiting ’til the kingdom falls
Can’t escape your nightmares
Regain hope and lose your fears
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before it dies
Life before us lies

The captain says you may move about
Just as long as you don’t venture out
Quite the contrary revolutionary
Weight of the world on your shoulders carry
In your eyes
I see paradise
Realize
Eyes on the prize
Life before us lies

Can’t be rid or hid
What it is you do

What I’ll come to be

As time is fleeting
Life’s for the taking
Before completing
Life’s in the making

Simultaneous us
Lives for the taking
The glorious us
Lives in the making

Or will Mother Nature throw a fit?

Tinged by selection
The glory days
Aren’t as good as todays
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

I see that the dream
Can be seen
The scene of yesterdays
Isn’t as good as today’s
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

Today’s quite O.K.
Evermore tomorrow
I’ll let the past pass
And grab now while it lasts
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

And what about
Three strikes you’re out
Before four
Just need one more
Four sure

Barely alive
Passing by five
Not a peep
At six feet deep
… that’s deep!

Dead on
Hit the nail on the head
Carry on
Unflail the dread
Dawned on
Enlightened my head
Beyond
where the logic led
Philosophy wed

Bust stardust that’s us
Pinprick holes add to our pores

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about Earth as our spaceship and the delicate nature of our atmosphere. The atmosphere protects humans in many ways, including stopping billions of little meteors from passing through our bodies. Remember to appreciate friction, too… not only does it burn up all those meteors, it also stops us from dying every time it rains.

And put your feet on your seat
Please give it up
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet

Wandering… is it true… am I under the whether

Yes, it’s true, when the hail reigns on you
Without doubt — under the whether

But there’s nor to interfere
With my atmosphere
Skies are clear
Is it “fair” to say “under the weather”
Under the weather/whether

Yes, I know, when you’re getting snow
It’s easy to know you’re under the weather

LYRICS
Which came first, the chicken or the egg…
I beg?
Why did the chicken cross the road…
Please unload?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

If a tree falls in a vacant forest, does it make a sound…
Please resound?
Knock, knock! Who’s there…
Are you aware?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

When first come last and last first…
Will you thirst?
At the crossroads: the devil, your soul…
What’s the toll?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

African or European, your sparrow…
If asked to narrow?
Would you bet the sun to set, yet…
Still stand still?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

With a soulful soul full of rift/riff

Yes, I’m having a ball
Aren’t we all?
’cause it runs the whole spectrum
Heave ho! And a bottle of rum
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Put him to bed with the Captain’s daughter*
Hit him in the head with leather n’ lead
Give us relief from the commander and chief
For I foresee mutiny!
As for you, do you, too?
You can count on me
It’s plain to see… in need of a mutiny
(If he walks the plank, it’s you I’ll thank.)

Run over… bulldozer
Causing bones to break
Is life really at stake
Run over by a bulldozer

Do you know what I mean
A destructive scene
Environmental shred
You should’ve seen what I’ve seen
Streets paved mean
Multiplying the dead
Until somebody said:
So, what if we sow
A reap that we want to keep
Hey, what do you know
Maybe our love runs deep
Picked up by a Samaritan
Thank her again and again
Goodwill can move a mountain
And let the light shine in

Do you know what I mean
A peaceful scene
Environmental bred
You should’ve seen what I’ve seen
Streets paved with a sheen

Have you ever heard it said
“It’s all in your head”?
Have you ever gone to bed
Looking forward to what’s ahead

As it gets near the end
Does one’s life depend
On being better off dead
Are you ever better off dead
… ever better off dead?

Once the children are sleeping
The dreaming is sweeping
On the road to keeping
Peacekeeping

When you’re on your last leg
Already kicked the keg
Have you become such a dread
Wishing for “better off dead”?
Are you ever better off dead
… ever better off dead?

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

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.”

Please don’t leave me standing all alone…

Could be the feaster of a Nor’ Easter
Jumbo shrimp? No need to skimp
Should be a whale of a wail tail/tale

If I had my druthers,

Bite the hand that feeds you
And, it’s a really big deal
Do what you want to

All about yourself

Pilfer wealth

May the day dawn on you

The more that you know
May the day dawn on you
On the way dreams come true

Accumulate
Prior to late
Standing in the light

May the day dawn on you
On the way dreams come true

Ride the updraft
Soar to highest heights
Into the bright lights
May the day dawn on you
On the way dreams come true

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

What’s up? Are you sure
Where the land and “see” merge
You land submerged at the shore
… forevermore

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

Could be gone

Imagine that
Right or wrong
Someday…
I’ll lay

Head buried deep
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?

Welcome to the air
My Dear
Though I know not how you breath
Yet, it’s clear you’re here
So, now I know
My eyes to believe
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
Of all
As the fittest
At best
Our quest
To be we
(Oui, oui)

Will you be my Mayan mermaid
And, I’ll try to be your humane human man?
Maid/made please don’t clean my memory
Of what my third-eye can see

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

IN the age of mad, sad and rage
Set the stage
To turn the page
Don’t procrastinate to participate
To calmer “sees” embark
Set sail to a fairy tale
Take a trip
Then, you know
Let us go
Watch us fly
Say “bye-bye”

Fly
Hope I can fly
Before
The windshield
’cause the windshield
Just won’t yield
And just like that
Splat!

They say I may become bug spray
Better stay out of the way
Don’t be the windshield
Know what I mean?
Don’t be the windscreen
They say I may become buy spray some day

Dear,

This dream
Take the stream
Turn the fluid
Lucid
Eyelid
Open or closed

Welcome to the dream
What color is your team?
Dreaming in black and white
We’ll all be alright

To rot in their wrought
The damned demand x2
All day long
The damned demand x2
Done me wrong
Same old song

For a history that’ll haunt

All day long
The damned demand x2
Done me wrong
Same old song

Hush now Mama
Don’t cry
Shhh… no need to weep
Night of karma
Kissed by
An angel as you sleep

Free from trauma
Tragedy…
Or, comedy?

If you want to get it on
While the footing is strong
If you want to get along
While the footing is strong
Get it on
Get along
On your mark
Get set

As we move among

Get set

To know

Aspiration inspiration
Amaze with stargaze
Envision vision mission
Until you
Make your dreams come true

Please don’t ever give up
Dreaming up dreams
No matter how far it seems
Do all you can do
To bring it into view

Letting your muse loose
Contemplate the desired fate
Anticipate completion date
Initiate. Gestate. Create.
Anytime you choose

Ignorance of indifference
Intake a pesky pestilence
I see
Pesky
Pestilence

Ignorance of indifference
Forsake your pesky pestilence

No silence on indifference
The relevance of indifference
I see
Exactly
The difference

Calling a liar out
Even know what you meant
Making an argument?

You and me
Equals we

Hypocritical testimonial
Lying through your teeth?
In disbelief
I’m in disbelief

You know I am
Finding genuine
Looking for true blue
All the way through
Can I count on you?

As a matter of fact
Give a pat on the back
Loving your giving
Loving your living
Keep on believing

Dread the leaves
Turning brown… then, dead
The drab attire of the tree
Starts to get to me

Waiting for the neutral Fall
To turn wonderful
In the Spring
Hatching the amazing

All hail Mother Nature
For she’s sure
To bring green
To our grayscale scene
Hail the Queen!
