LYRICS
Search for the words
Put down the swords
The sounds of birds
Enchanting
It won’t be long
Till their songs are gone
To right our wrong
De-Man-ding
The thorns of the thistle
Set scorn with a bristle
Grasp the wasp’s stinger
To feel poison linger
The snake mistake
Men take in their own venom
Should have seen it comin’
These stories I can not make
As we watch Man overtake
Epic fail
Overtakes his own tail
Epic fail
Swallowing his own tale

This is a song about Man’s worst enemy — Man. In July of 2023 we wrote the paper, Climate Change: End of Times.
All of my life I have located my office and bedrooms in the uppermost southern exposure (preferably in the tree canopy.) I love sunlight, elevation, trees, fresh air, and wildlife. It is becoming ever more obvious my dreamlife is coming to an end, and I will be forced to tunnel under. For those forward thinkers, think about your poop. Pumping sewage above ground level will be a major problem at all times. In addition, the inability to pump flood water will become deadly during extreme weather events. In July of 2020 NPR reported, “The remnants of Hurricane Ida dropped unprecedented rainfall on several eastern states, killing dozens of people. Eleven of them were Queens residents who died when their basement apartments flooded.” In August of 2022 CNN reported, “Seoul has vowed to move some of the city’s poorest families out of underground and semi-subterranean homes after 13 people were killed in flooding caused by record rainfall this week, sparking public horror and calls for government accountability.” Drowning in your own poop may result for those unprepared.
Fresh air, water, food, and light will also be problematic; however, your most severe concern will likely be security. Those with supplies will be at high risk of being raped and looted. Good luck!
