bookmark_borderWhere to Begin?

LYRICS
I’m thinking there must be something
On my mind again
The name of the song sung
Is on the tip of my tongue
If only I could remember
Where to begin….

Prefer stick or carrot
Hoard it quick or repeat?

Prefer sour
Or so sweet
Final hour
Or repeat?

Rather live
Try to die
Rather give
Love’s reply

Remember what’s on my mind
Try to be kind

bookmark_borderThe Pace of Survival

LYRICS
Get on your marks
Get ready to go
Let’s throw some sparks
We’ll put on a show
The human race
We set the pace
Of survival
We’re face-to-face
With the human race
Our rival

Out of the chutes
We’re on a roll
Freed from our roots
Or digging a hole?
The human race
We set the pace
Of survival
We’re face-to-face
With the human race
Our rival

The finish line
Comin’ ’round the bend
Before our time
Came to “The End”
The human race
We set the pace
Of survival
We’re face-to-face
With the human race
Our rival

bookmark_borderDisguised Camouflage

LYRICS
Can you tell me if I got this right
The falling rain obscures sunlight
The falling reign obscures sunlight
A mirage disguised as camouflage
Where I am more than meets the eye
You, too?

Clouds form a shroud and shield from view
In broad daylight the sky so blue
A mirage disguised as camouflage
Where I am more than meets the eye
You, too?

The daylight is going to squirrel a hole
Letting delight play her role
Rainbows from rain reflect sunlight
The falling reign’s final sight
The daylight is going to squirrel a hole
Letting delight play her role
Play her role
Let her roll
A mirage disguised as camouflage
Where I am more than meets the eye
You, too?

Facts hold true

No escaping the reckoning’s due
Justify my ways and means
Electrify the days and scenes

Justify the fat and lean
Electrify the plays and seems

LYRICS
Confirmed by choice
Silence your voice
Teetering on the tottering
Leaning over the edge
Wishing and washing
Standing on our ledge
Driving wedge

Inaction in action
No satisfaction
Teetering on the tottering
Leaning over the edge
Wishing and washing
Standing on our ledge
Driving wedge

United we stand
Divided we fall
Time to understand
We make the call
For the I, me, my, mine
It’s come time
The crime
Is past its prime

LYRICS
The ocean is jokin’ again
Hard to understand
Where she’ll land
Come see the sea
From my island
And you’ll see/sea where I stand
Knee deep
Sea level rise
Should come as no surprise
Realize
More than a creep
Neck deep
More than a creep
Seek
Higher ground
If none’s to be found
We’ll drown
Can’t refuse deluge refuge
Didn’t want to be
A climate refuge
You see
You sea

A song inspired by the 1,000 year extreme weather event:
April 13, 2023
“Rain of biblical proportions Fort Lauderdale residents stranded in homes, cars”
More than 2 feet of rain has brought Fort Lauderdale to a standstill, shutting down the city’s airport and stranding drivers on flooded streets — and more flash flooding is on its way.

LYRICS
Once upon a time
There was a king
Unaware of anything
Couldn’t hear the birds in song
Couldn’t see sunlight
Wouldn’t hear the herds gone wrong
Wouldn’t see what’s right
Goodnight

Once upon a time
There was a queen
Unaware of the scene
Couldn’t hear the birds in song
Couldn’t see sunlight
Wouldn’t hear the herds gone wrong
Wouldn’t see what’s right
Goodnight

In the time of our crime
There were subjects
Unaware of subjects
Couldn’t hear the birds in song
Couldn’t see sunlight
Wouldn’t hear the herds gone wrong
Wouldn’t see what’s right
Wouldn’t do what’s right
Goodnight

LYRICS
The proof is in the pudding
But you didn’t eat your meat
The goof is in the fudging
Applying too much heat
Now your pi is going to fry
Situation dire
Desserts on fire
Deserts transpire

The proof is in the pudding
But you didn’t eat your meat
The goof is in the fudging
Applying too much heat
Now you’ll find “I’s” going blind
Situation’s dire
Our Man’s a liar
End times transpire

The proof is in the pudding
But you didn’t eat your meat
The goof is in the fudging
Applying too much heat
Now your yearn is going to burn
Situations dire
As the temp. goes higher
Same flame transpires
Insane flame transpires

LYRICS
No, you first
After you
Jumping over a cliff
Mind’s stiff
Hearts rift
Stepping into traffic
Mind’s thick
Hope’s quick
Polite? Is that right?
More akin to saving your skin
Courtesy
How can that be
Still to solve mystery

Time keeps rolling on, on, on
Man won’t understand
Can’t keep clinging on, on, on
When it’s life at hand

LYRICS
Fish needs air
Can’t find any there
None to spare
Getting hotter
Fish out of water
Oh you don’t know what to do
Can’t sink
Can’t swim
Oh you don’t know what to do
Can’t think
Can’t win
Dim view

Fish can’t breathe
Can’t find relief
Nothing but grief
Getting hotter
Fish out of water
Oh you don’t know what to do
Can’t sink
Can’t swim
Oh you don’t know what to do
Can’t think
Can’t win
Dim view

Please don’t die
Before I cry
Make it better
Getting wetter
Fish out of water
Oh you don’t know what to do
Can’t sink
Can’t swim
Oh you don’t know what to do
Can’t think
Can’t win
Dim view

LYRICS
Not sure of my footing
If it’s safe where I’m putting
Quicksand
Swampland
Sliding down the pole
Digging out of a hole
Can solid ground
Be found?

Not sure of where I stand
Hey, who commands the land?
At the land’s command, I am
Quicksand
Swampland
Sliding down the pole
Digging out of a hole
Can solid ground
Be found?

When knees shake it’s hard to fake
The Earth’s quake is hard to take
Should have known we’re going’ to moan
Chronic accident prone

Living while stark turns dark
Humans embark, stomp, march

Die by the lie

Who’s the operator?
Question if it’s safer
At all?
Come on and confess
Creator of the mess
The fall
A little too late
To hesitate
Better take the call
Just can’t wait to participate
On the ball

Who’s the manager
Just some perfect stranger
Voodoo doll?
Come on and confess
Creator of the mess
The fall
A little too late
To hesitate
Better take the call
Just can’t wait to participate
On the ball

Who’s in control
Rule of our role
What fool?
Come on and confess
Creator of the mess

A little too late
To hesitate
Better take the call
Just can’t wait to participate
On the ball

Come on and confess
Creator of the mess

A whole lot more
Just to be fair
More than our share

I don’t know what to do
I thought that I knew
But, I don’t know what to do
Given the rate of change
No time to rearrange
Best to embark
On your ark
Given the rate of rise
Should come as no surprise
Can never forget regret

I thought that you knew
Was depending on you
Now, you didn’t pull through
Depending on me
Now I see
Depending on we

Depending on you
Thought you knew
Depending on me
Now I see
Depending on we
