Hol·o·cene

n.
The Holocene Epoch or its system of deposits.
Ever since they made freedom agin’ the law
They committed the crime of all time — turning me into an outlaw
Suppose we gotta claw
Tooth and nail
Or end up part of the Holocene tale
The Holocene extinction scene
Hello halo
Hollow promises I guess
Versus
The Holocene… know what I mean?
Ever since they choose not’ta take pity
On those embracing liberty
They committed the crime of all time — turning me into an outlaw
Suppose we gotta claw
Tooth and nail
Or end up part of the Holocene tale

LYRICS
You’re never alone on Christmas
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Feeling lonely is only if you miss
The essence of the Christmas presence
Let’s figure it out?
The love will always be there, I swear
As long as there’s someone…
As long as there’s anyone…
As long as someone cares
That someone could be you
Lord, lordy, Lord, Lord, lordy
Lord, with you…. make two
And, as far as I can see
There’s me
(… that’s three…)
For crying out loud — A CROWD!
Singing Merry Christmas, Almighty
Bless you for taking pity
And, keeping me company
LYRICS
An abominable snowman
Part creature… part man
The part abominable
Most probable
Man
Abominable… causing moral revulsion
Diversion, subversion, exclusion
Time for the inclusion solution
Let’s hope humanity can bounce back
After our ethical attack
Pushed ourselves over the cliff
Mostly over a religious riff
The penalty… swift and stiff
Time to be humble
Overcome our bumble
Do what counts
Do the bumble bounce

“Christians are the most widely persecuted religious group in the world today and this evening we think especially of the Middle East, especially of Egypt, Iraq and Syria,” The Archbishop of Canterbury, Christmas, 2013
This song was inspired by the travesty of religious conflicts and killings during 2013. Unfortunately, the list is too long to list… Shiite, Sunni, Armenians, Christian, Buddhists, Dinka, Nuer, Beni Hussein, Rizeigat, Jews, Muslims… in Syria, Israel, Burma, South Sudan, Central African Republic, Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq… and on and on. Let’s pray we can bounce back.
LYRICS
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Recipe for a gingerbread house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Stockings hung by the chimney with care
Something about roasting chestnuts there
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Dashing… ore the fields we go
Don’t forget the mistletoe
Do you know
How does the saying go?
We three kings of orient are
Do you see what I see… follow the star
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Rudolph with your nose so bright
With a tail… a tail as long as a kite
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Oh, holy night
May all your Christmases be white
Do you know
How does the saying go?
If crutches are in your clutches
Won’t help like they could
When watching people clasping
Please help like we should
Instructed to be productive
And, with thy gifts give
Productive to the instructed
Long let quality live
