Em / E sus4 / Em7 / Em 7 (11)

The warmer it gets
The colder the wind blows
No one seems to know
No, no one knows

But, when they take a peek
They start to freak
’cause the lightning
Is frightening

Why, no one seems to care
That the weather out there
Is human induced
As we reduce
Ourselves
To little more
Than a glass snow globe

Turning upside down
Shakin’ it around

From the outside
Looking in…

From outside the glass
Do we wanna be
The universal ass
Reduced to an obscene
Earthling scene

Though the snow looks pretty
Do we need the alien pity
For our lack of responsibility?

When they take a peek
They start to freak
’cause the lightning
Is frightening
[Repeat / Fade]

“I was looking out the window and saw lightening and heard the familiar thunder report…..First time I ever experienced that in the winter…..Truelly rare….end of the world ?” — Jeffro Richards

“This shit is no joke – unless I was just having a flashback – I saw lightning.” — David Hawkins

bookmark_borderthe eclectic could lose electric

the weather here is unusual
i’m watching trees bend into yoga shapes
and wooden ya know
…some are not taking kindly to the discipline — Crack and Bang

should my communication breakdown, please don’t take it personally… because, the eclectic could lose electric. not to worry, i’ll be back right after the brief public service announcement from Mother Nature.

by Daniel Brouse
Inspired by Insanity Humanity (Ain’t That the Truth!)
and the Rev. LeRoy Montana

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
Thrown from their thrones

Flesh and bones?
Nothing weathers
That matters

Is it fine
In this time
When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

Perhaps, not that far away
A day
When what is just
Just is

More than chance
That justice
Someday will sway
The balance

PART II

When, “What is that?”
Is that what is
Makes you wonder
How the others live

When what is just
Just is

Justice
Someday will sway
The balance

How will I weigh?

A pound of bricks
A pound of feathers
Those in the throws of sticks
And, stones
The one that weathers
Thrown from their thrones
The one that matters
Is not me

Without we
I just am
Without you
Too
Two alones

A family
Better we’d be
Better by far
We already are
Together we way
Together we weigh
Together we may
Without fail
The Scale
Just is
Justice

Putting one foot
In front of the other
Step by step
In a straight line
I find I’m back
Where I started

Chorus:
A circle of deadends
Is there no way out?
Round and round…
’till my soul
Is found

Driving one way
In search of another
Turn by turn
In a lost time
I find the knack
Of being thwarted
And, I’m right back where
I started

Chorus

Panicking away
No guidance from mother
Beat by beat
My heart’s not mine
I’m under attack
… being sentenced
Though, I know
Not what I did

Chorus

Placing faith
Not a fighter
But, a lover
I recover

My Dear,
Nothing to fear
The path is near
We will steer clear
Placing faith
Above all other
There is a way
Out of here

What was a lark
In Evansburg State Park
Was the start
Of our direction
Toward the One
Of perfection?
