What good is the dawn
That grows into day
The sunset at night
Or living this way
For I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me at night
(Within me at night)
~Brian Wilson

Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on...
They never die
That's how you
And I
Will be

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start
Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
Something so big I can't understand
From trying to I would go mad
So I hurry back to little earth
For another life, another birth
Another life, another birth - Toad the Wet Sprocket

And I'll meet you in the graveyard
With the winter trees and stars
Oh, we could open up this suitcase full of sparks - Gregory Alan Isakov

One part of me just wants to tell you everything
One part just needs the quiet
And if I'm lonely here, I'm lonely here
And on the telephone, you offer reassurance

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul ~Dylan #photography #lyrics #poetry #blackandwhitephotography
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows~Leonard Cohen

Home. Earlier I was in an African Methodist Episcopal church as the congregation sang The Battle Hymn of the Republic. There remains two Americas. One still sings Dixie; the other still sings The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
We need many more neighbors to sing The Battle Hymn.
It’s our Republic
In the middle of the night
There's an old man treading around in the gathered rain

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams; Been haunted by a million screams; But I can hear the marching feet; They're moving into the street; Now did you read the news today?; They say the danger's gone away; But I can see the fires still alight; They're burning into the night ~Genesis

He did wonders for Atlantic City. I’m sure it’ll work out just as well
Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "
You get the point.
FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.
You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher

'Cause everyone's growing and everyone's healthy
I'm terrified that I might never have met me
Oh, if my engine works perfect on empty
I guess I'll drive

I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending
You're not my homeland anymore
So what am I defending now?
You were my town
Now I'm in exile, seein' you out
I think I've seen this film before

I've learned that If you try to chase the sun, you're never gonna catch it; And now it's turning out to be the worst of my bad habits; Maybe smoking one more cigarette won't turn your lungs to ashes; But all it takes is gas to burn a city down with matches~Jonah Kaden
And as I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong, and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony? ~Elvis Costello
