LYRICSWhile the herd is aimlessly grazing
What I’ve heard is hair-raising
All the cows lay with a storm on the way
No not me
Seek shelter out of harm’s way
Grab your lover
And run for cover
Weather war
Is dishing out more
Fore sure
It’s up to us
If you’re prosperous

We’ve been given the time
Yet ended sublime
Chose to self-anoint
Then, exploit
While the herd is aimlessly grazing
What I’ve heard is hair-raising
All the cows lay with a storm on the way
No not me
Seek shelter out of harm’s way
Grab your lover
And run for cover
Weather war
Is dishing out more
Fore sure
It’s up to us
If we’re prosperous

This song is about 2 social media posts I made the day the song was written and recorded:

For those people living in Southeastern PA, extreme weather warning for this afternoon. Please remember:
Q: Is there a limiting factor to the size of raindrops… that will prevent them from becoming lethal?
A: “A Hard Rain Is Falling” and, yes, hail can kill you.

I responded to a post about climate change being “frightening” and what we need to do. Most people want the government and/or businesses to take responsibility. Here was my response:
It is in everybody’s best interest to abandon fossil fuels immediately. The inevitable is already bad enough… if we continue on as usual, the severity and immediacy will increase exponentially. All need to take action… governments and businesses as organizations, and even more importantly — us… people. Everybody (at least in the USA) can go net-zero today and save money at the same time. Reaching “net zero” is easy, cheap, and saves you thousands of dollars, not to mention, you can help save the planet. Electricity and heat, food and land use, transportation, and investment. Here is what I’ve done to go carbon negative: Go Net Zero Now.

When I say “The inevitable is already bad enough”… this is what we are talking about… your guaranteed future:

LYRICS
Are you glad that you’re here
That now is near
Not just fad that you hear
Since now is clear
Put on your cape
It’s time to make
Escape
Dear

If anybody can do something
Certainly someone’s you
If everybody does something
We can all pull through
Me… and you, too!
Are you glad that you’re here
That now is near
Not just fad that you hear
Since now is clear
Put on your cape
It’s time to make
Escape
Dear

If we all do something
To lessen the fall
And take lesson
Heed the call
Raise our point-of-view
We can all pull through
Me… and you, too!
Are you glad that you’re here
That now is near
Not just fad that you hear
Since now is clear
Put on your cape
It’s time to make
Escape
Dear

A song about how I’m depending on you to save me from the climate crisis and the lesson learned from
the long-term breathing experiment” failing the test. During the Air Quality Crisis of 2023, the Canadian wildfires caused 4 days in a row of Unhealthy (151 to 200 AQI) to Hazardous (301 and higher AQI) outdoor air quality across much of the United States.

Smoke from wildfires in Canada brought record-breaking air pollution to the United States this spring, creating dangerous air quality from Bismarck, N.D., to Denver and Detroit to New York City and Washington. According to a Washington Post analysis of smoke data through June 7 (2023) from Stanford University, 197 air quality monitoring stations have reported all-time high pollution from wildfires.

bookmark_borderThe Depth of Your Sky

LYRICS
At least a good thing at The End
Sunsets begin to bend
Do you question why
They intensify
… or…
Depending where you sit
They mute what’s lit
… quite a bit

Beauty at the End of Time
Watch the sunrise and shine
Do you question what you see
The intensity
… or…
Depending where you sit
They mute what’s lit
… quite a bit

Pollution saturation
The way we infiltrate the ray
Berate the rate
That’s why
Depends on the depth
Of your sky

LYRICS
If you’re gonna believe what you wanna believe
Then please relieve and give relief to the relief that is life
Raised above the plane
Relevo! To raise! Be sane!
Help put an end to strife

See if you can find out
Where that fact is at
See if you can take in
All that has been
And come to a logical conclusion

For real
Believe what is real
Based on facts more than how you feel
It’s more the real than how you feel

Logical conclusion. Logical infusion.
