bookmark_borderThe Momentum of Rain

Posted on by admin

As rain becomes more massive, it will have greater momentum when it hits. It will cause more damage to crops, plants, soil, asphalt, concrete, roofs, solar panels… and I bet if you use your “head” you can think of other impacts.

LYRICS
A hard rain is falling
The mass x velocity
Is starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

A hard rain is falling
Frequency n’ intensity
Is starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

Storm warning is calling
Rain drops with severity
… it’s starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

LYRICS
Put my ear to the shell
’cause I don’t hear/here so well
Put my ear to the shell
To hear/here the swell
(To hear/hear swell)
The ocean
Comes rushin’ in
The potion
Of gushing love
Love of….
The Geo system
Gave rise to human
Eons
To learn our lesson
Lackluster logic
None in possession

LYRICS
Fire another
Shot into the dark
Ire of brother
Lost him to the dark
Of your mistake
What will you make
Cause of error
Reign of terror
Time for change
Rearrange

King of jungles
Falling from his throne
Cries and mumbles
Balling all alone
Of your mistake
What will you make
Cause of error
Reign of terror
Time for change
Rearrange

Tire of bother
Shoot into the dark
Fires to smother
Living in the dark
Of your mistake
What will you make
Cause of error
Reign of terror
Time for change
Rearrange

What’s the big deal
It’s for real
It’s been a good run
Sure was fun
Been a good ride
Hope to see you on the flipside

Please don’t cry
I hate goodbye
Till we meet again

Been a good ride
Hope to see you on the flipside

How about “one more song”
I swear it won’t take long
Been a good ride
Hope to see you on the flipside

Could you spray
Right this way

How far away
Would you say
Till today
Is doomsday?
Hope there’s enough time
To feel fancy free and fine
Please let there be time
For frivolity in rhyme

How many days would you say
Do we have to change our way
Hope there’s enough time
To feel fancy free and fine
Please let there be time
For frivolity in rhyme

If today is our last day
Make the best in every way
Hope there’s enough time
To feel fancy free and fine
Please let there be time
For frivolity in rhyme

LYRICS
Can’t wait to get up
In the morning
To see what the day
Will bring my way
To see the early bird
Catching the worm
Is the lesson well learned?

So, lets get going

Let’s bring to the day
Dance and play
Let’s sing along the way
Making the best
Attest
To what’s left

LYRICS
Racing through my head
What’s been left unsaid
Lack of clarity
Determines destiny
The demon in men
Destroying our sanctity
Defiling Mother Nature’s sanctuary
Prepare for the climb
Counting out time

Tracing through my thoughts
The oughts and ought nots
Lack of compassion
Undermines elation
The demon in men
Destroying our sanctity
Defiling Mother Nature’s sanctuary
Prepare for the climb
Counting out time

Bracing for what’s to come
From all we’ve undone
Become a rarity
Yours and mine’s humanity
The demon in men
Destroying our sanctity
Defiling Mother Nature’s sanctuary
Prepare for the climb
Counting out time

LYRICS
No, you can’t get blood from a stone
Won’t answer if nobody’s home
Huff and puff but you can’t get in
So please come again
A one pony trick
Needs a new tactic
To capture imagination
Want my two cents?
Create the circumstance
To capture imagination

No, you can’t turn water into wine
Believe me… I try it all the time
Fight windmills and you’ll never win
So please come again
A one pony trick
Needs a new tactic
To capture imagination
Want my two cents?
Create the circumstance
To capture imagination

No, you can’t try to raise the dead
Their says already been said
There’s no sense in cryin’
So please come again
A one pony trick
Needs a new tactic
To capture imagination
Want my two cents?
Create the circumstance
To capture imagination

Posted on by admin

A song about:
Kentucky flooding is followed by heat wave
The rain that unleashed massive floods in Appalachian mountain communities was diminishing on Tuesday, leaving survivors to face a new threat: baking in the heat as they try to recover.

“It’s going to get really, really hot. And that is now our new weather challenge,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said at his Tuesday morning briefing on the disaster.

The death toll stood at 37 on Tuesday after more bodies were found Monday in the ruined landscape, and while more than 1,300 people have been rescued, crews were still trying to reach some people who remain cut off by floods or mudslides, he said. Hundreds remained unaccounted for.

LYRICS
Did you see Kentucky
All that flood…
Then mud
Now, they’ve raised the stakes
Ready to bake
(Shake and bake)
Baking up mud cakes
With the taste of neighbors’ blood
Yet failing to see
It’s our recipe
Laid to waste our neighborhood
Wish to God we’d understood
Stand
(For the land)

Did you see out West
No doubt in a drought
And raising the stakes higher
With some wild fire
Don’t you think it’s best
That we all found out
Can’t rest if you tire
Situation’s dire
Laid to waste our neighborhood
Wish to God we’d understood
Stand
(For the land)

There’s nothing under there… under where?
Fail to see

Nailed, indeed
Your fallacy
Try to impede
