ABOUT THIS SONG
“Mary was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen of the universe, that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son” (Lumen Gentium, 59)

Queen of Heaven is a title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary by Christians mainly of the Roman Catholic Church, and also, to some extent, in Anglicanism and Eastern Orthodoxy, to whom the title is a (disputed) consequence of the First Council of Ephesus in the fifth century, in which the Virgin Mary was proclaimed “theotokos”, a title rendered in Latin as Mater Dei, in English as “Mother of God”.

According to Catholic doctrine, Mary was assumed into heaven and is with Jesus Christ, her divine Son and is represented in the Book of Revelation (chapter 11:19–12:6) as the woman clothed with the sun who gives birth to Christ

LYRICS
Son, ‘fore the end of the age
Of the setting sun
Embark on a factual spiritual voyage
And have some fun

When all is said and done
May it add-up to sum fun
For you
And, those you bless, too

Neighbor, before the labor
And, the spoils won
Endear those near and far
And, share the fun

Try not to wait
’till it’s too late
For those that procrastinate
Heaven won’t wait

Hellenistic World.mp3

LYRICS
Aristotle
Is it comical
Denying the spherical
What shape are we in
If we don’t know where to begin

Just going round and round
Holding on to a hurling rock through space
Trying to compete in the human race
Win, place or at least show
Realization of civilization can be found
Humanity in the humans can abound

Take some of Pythagoras’ Theorem serum
See if the angels add up
And call me in the mourning
After you wake up
To spiritual soaring

ABOUT THIS SONG

Aristotle accepted the spherical shape of the Earth on empirical grounds around 330 BC, and knowledge of the spherical Earth gradually began to spread beyond the Hellenistic world from then on.

LYRICS
Holocene

Hol·o·cene
adj.
Of or belonging to the geologic time, rock series, or sedimentary deposits of the more recent of the two epochs of the Quaternary Period, beginning at the end of the last Ice Age about 11,000 years ago and characterized by the development of human civilizations. See Table at geologic time.
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

ABOUT THIS SONG

Overall, the Holocene extinction can be characterized by humanity’s presence. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
I was there
I saw what we did
Well aware
Of who ran and who hid

Now, your bid
The price to rid
The scale of economics
Certain to justify
The costs of our benefits
The depths of our deficits
Destined to rectify

Yes, it’s time to pay our dues
Right the crime causing the blues

Will we realize the cause of our demise
Witnessed by these eyes

This song was inspired by reading Facebook posts about people’s pipes freezing up… while I was writing reggae music.

Pipes that have moving water through them will not freeze… if in doubt, just leave a trickle running ’till tomorrow. If your pipes do freeze, turn off the water at the source… for when they thaw… the cracks will, too… and you will pump water onto your floor. (ps real bummer… especially if you’re sleeping.) If you have a hot water heater, you need to keep an eye on the feed… since the hot water heater will fill up with water… there will not be moving water until the tank calls for more water. This can leave the cold water intake on the tank exposed to prolong cold.

When in doubt, apply the trickle theory to the love.

LYRICS
What do you say
We play pray
Pretend to bring an end
To needless pain and suffering
Feed fresh with love stuffing
Love — stuff in

Dreams do come true

That just won’t quit
You see… if it can happen

It can happen to you, too
