Occupy Philadelphia City Hall Protest
Protesters march at City Hall in Center City Philadelphia, PA

This is about pro-protesting. I am all for protesting and spend time protesting for protesting. Lately, I’ve seen too much poor protesting. If you are going to protest, please do so properly.

Why will we climb the mountain?
Because it’s there
Why will we protest the mountain?
Because we can

Why aren’t we chicken to cross the road?
We’ve got to get to the other side
Besides, we should

Occupy Philly? Oh, yeah!
Really? Oh, yeah!

We are protesting for protesting
We are testing
Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3
Testing humanity
The humane you
The humane me
Protesting for protesting
Suggesting testing
Of the population
As one nation…
Under God

It must have been
An Act Of God
Mixed together
With Human
Heavens nod
An *Act Of God*
*God forbid*
Most everything
Man did
Destroy ourselves
Destroy our city
Forever wallowing
In self-pity
Forever swallowing
Our own tail
Forever swallowing
Our own tale

Writing the song Todays over Interstate 95 at South Street and Penns Landing

In the yesterdays
There are ways
To consider them good
But, while there’s todays
Great we would

Great to be free

Of Soulitary confinement
Excellently
Don’t want to reach
Contentment
Don’t want a speech
On resentment

Got all our needs
Need no more than
The birds and bees
Enough of the greed
Filled all our needs
Need no more than
The birds and bees

How long have the waves
Pounded the sand
How long has man
Pounding the sands of time
Without reason
And, little rhyme
Pounded the sands of time
As the tide is wide
The Times subside
Pounded by human

bookmark_borderRoadtest For A Protest

Posted on by admin

Over the last couple days I have been investigating protests including Occupy Wall Street. While playing a music festival in Atlantic City, I came across a protest against Resorts Casino. Sorry to say, both of these protests wrongly attack businesses. In the case of Resorts, the original company could no longer afford to stay open and sold the assets. The new Resorts did not need to keep employing union workers, but they did. Now, these workers are mistakenly protesting against the old Resorts in front of the new Resorts.

Roadtest
For a protest
Unite fear
Unite here
Thwart support
Their last Resort
Walk the boardwalk
Rock the boardroom
Viva La Beg Us
CastAssIno
Gamble with tomorrow
Hedge the risk ensuring bliss
Showgirls show girls
No contract. No peace.
No contact. No piece.

Daniel Brouse writing songs on the streets of West Chester, PA

Dear Dear,

Looks like you had a head-on collision
With Venus
A love explosion
You’re genius
Positron and electron collision
At the nucleus
Delicious

Won’t let you be thrown
Under the us
No tragedy
The irony
Of smiling all the while
A love style

Stylistic magic

Loveningly,
Fantastic

The Thinker Museum
Outside the Rodin Museum

written and recorded while sitting under The Thinker statue at the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia, PA

Now, can you tell me
What you think of that?
Spoiled child… raised a brat
No offspring should ever see
Such a bastard… filthy rat
Glad to see my child will be
Free from ignorance
No need for pity
Free from arrogance
What do you think of that
The thought of ought
And, then to act

Tell me, Rodin, what do you think of that?
Natural beauty

Capo 6

Don’t let ’em darken your day

Don’t let ’em dampen your day

The sun is on the cusp
The end of the tunnel
Freeing soul and mental
Letting light shine on us

Bm / dim

Black clouds rollin’ in
There’s an evil wind a blowin’
And, I ask again:
Why spoil the soul
With awful?
In the long run
It’ll take it’s toll
Anti-fun never won
Prove the fool your roll

If you think you’re stuck
Between a rock and a hard place
Retrace
The steps of your future
To see how you make it out

It’s far-out
How you can see
What steps to take
There’s no doubt
You can get free
Make what you make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it

Create the flow… go!
