Tomorrow’s Children

canopy… canapé

can ya see

who will pay

scant tomorrows

call our name

leaving nothing

is our game

twisted sorrow

is our shame

tomorrow’s children

eat ashes and flame

in a world ruled

by the ecocidal brain

pay the taxman

life is leased

pay the warmonger

keeping the peace

abundant resources

gone in a blink

abundant lifeforms

made extinct

as fools make the rules

tomorrow’s children

cry out to you

we want a world

like you have too

The less you know, the more pliable you become.

Caging any healthy animal is a criminal action unless it is done for the temporary safety of the caged animal.

∞

If we don’t find a solution for pollution then pollution will find a solution for us.

I believe drug addiction is an illness to be treated, not a crime to be punished.

...nurse’s statement from an episode of Maigret set in 1950’s Paris.

Lost Places

i dream that we can find a place

where all are free and none disgraced

where privilege is what you make

where no one has to hide their face

where love has drowned all bigotry and hate

and I wish that I could be

in a place where all can see

that we who claim humanity

can rise above hypocrisy

and spread our love eternally

and i would like to go away

to a place where all can play

and none can say this is the way

but each may choose to go or stay

and in the silence one can find

secret thoughts that fill the mind

thoughts that take you back in time

lost places living where memories unwind

The wise man knows that the path to enlightenment lies in understanding just how much he doesn’t know.

∞

How much you do know is never more than how much you don’t know.

∞

Knowing how to do something is not the same as knowing how to teach it to someone else.

∞

If you are not angry because a bunch of greedy shortsighted fools are stealing the future from your children, then you are an even bigger fool.

This Lane Is My Lane

Sung to the melody of Woodie Guthrie’s

This Land is Your Land (1940)

This lane is my lane; that lane is your lane

From California… to the Virgin Islands

From what’s left of the Redwood forests

To the Gulf Stream oil slicks

This lane was made for me and mine

As I was driving that ribbon of highway

I saw above me the many jet contrails

I saw below me the endless pavement

This lane was made for me and mine

I roamed and rambled in my gas guzzler

No profit in leaving any oil for tomorrow

While all around me children cry for justice

This lane was made for me and mine

When
