"Another unconscionable attack by Israel on the already strangling slowly oppressed jail that is Gaza...when will we all just say, enough of this outrage!" -Nora
lyrics
SONG FOR PALESTINE BY NORA ROMAN 12-28-08 Israel is bombing Gaza again
Chorus:
OO-OO-00-00—PALESTINE OO-OO-OO-OO PALESTINE
THEY’RE KILLING YOUR CHILDREN AGAIN, OH PALESTINE
MY HEART ACHES AS I SING, FOR PALESTINE
HOW MANY MORE YEARS? HOW MANY MORE TEARS?
HOW MANY MORE LIVES? HOW MUCH PAIN ON ALL SIDES?
HOW DOES ONE LOSE HER HUMANITY? HOW CAN WE ACCEPT THIS INSANITY?
Chorus
HOW MANY MORE BOMBS? HOW MANY MORE PSALMS?
HATE JUST HAS NO PLACE, IN MY HUMAN RACE
ALL PEOPLE SHOULD BE FREE, WITH JUSTICE AND LIBERTY
Chorus
I WANT TO HAVE SOME FAITH, THAT YOU’LL BE FREE SOMEDAY
THAT THE WHOLE WORLD WILL AWAKE, FROM THE NITEMARE OF TODAY,
AND ALL PEOPLE WILL BE ONE AND WILL LIVE IN HARMONY
WHEN THE SCATTERED CAN COME HOME TO PALESTINE
Chorus, MY HEART BREAKS AS I SING FOR PALESTINE (2x)

Végre Vissza (Finally Return)
Ashen faces, forests blazing
Oh, what have we done?
I daydream of tying lying tongues
And who would dare drive a knife through the future
Of their very own young?
Who would dare to set fire to the lungs
Of the future generations?
Is there any of this madness to be undone?
Or is the web of change always being spun?
Are these songs of change always to be sung?
Holding my own head
Sucking my thumb like a wee babe
Am I the comfort for which I have often prayed?
Or am I still that dragon I could have sworn that I’d slayed?
Am I still the witch they tried so hard to burn away?
Are you that child from the riptide I tried but couldn’t save?
Datura at the foot of the earthly lover’s grave
Is this our final bed we’ve left so crudely made?
I have kissed my own lonely lips, wiped my sodden cheeks
Is this a deadly longing been bestowed to me?
Am I not half the woman I could have sworn to be?
Were you not that hermit who had promised wings?
Are we not the freedom witnessed through the spring?
I’ve heard liberty’s bell ringing even over screams
Am I not that anchored woman who’s battled the sea?
Am I not treasure enough to keep?
Now where’s that Holy Ghost, or did we spook it?
Where’s that gentle one I’ve died a hundred lives to meet?
He who over coals did walk and truth only did speak
Who, starving, parted fields of corn
And gold ears did not eat nor steal
There’s this fancy hole in my heart I still seem to need to fill
So kneel at the feet of the mother you know is here to heal
For this great shift I know we were born to feel
But that selkie woman’s seal skin must be returned for real
And seal with love cracks that run through the hearts of wounded men
From this prophesied fall, are we all to ascend
And finally return to balance with the feminine?
And finally return to balance
And finally return
And finally return

The sons and brothers, fighting for another cause
Anything to give their lives some meaning
Busy with their guns and dreaming
Far away from here
Said they would act in self-defense
And all the others, running 'round so hot and bothered
Anything to give their lives some meaning
In the evening
Running around with guns and
Said they would act in self-defense
With violence
Violence
Violence
Violence breeds
Violence
Violence breeds
The son and brother, when he gets home
He gives someone some love
And mutters: "Woman, you'll never understand
I did what I said in self-defense
With violence"
Violence breeds
Violence
Violence breeds
Violence
Violence breeds

Thousands shut down the subway today
Bravely singing not in our name
Stop the wheels from grinding their
Bones to make your bread
Drop of water, grain of sand
There’s no peace on stolen land
Bombs built where a genocide sleeps
Here in the belly of the beast
Smooth stone in a small clenched fist
Born of centuries, fire, and grit
Hurled against a war machine
As tanks till soil to dust
Pomegranate ripe on the tree
Olive branch, watermelon seed
Mourn the martyrs and fight
Like hell is a place on earth
From the river to the sea
Palestine will be free
Barbed wire fence to border wall
Let the empire crumble
Let it fall

"That God Damn Paul McCartney Christmas Song"
Merry Christmas, Frazier Park
Happy New Year, Father Time
I’m staring at my knuckles
Off of The Grapevine
All cuz Southern Californians
Drive like dickheads in the snow
If there’s a lower tier of hell
Please don’t let me know
I got tired of my cell phone
I got tired of my mind
I got tired of some friend’s ex-husband
Explaining Palestine
Like something I’m not reading
Explains a body count
If there’s dumber way to preach
Then please just leave me out
I know that no one likes to be told how their world works
And that Berkeley ain’t the same as Bakersfield
I know that most people are just trying to do their best
Despite all the blood thats spilled
But the little star of Bethlehem is breaking up
Exploding in our eyes like nothings wrong
And I’m dissociating trying to turn off
That god damn Paul McCartney Christmas song
That overplayed and cocaine fueled Christmas song

Ceasefire, ceasefire
I am an inconvenient truth
Honey drips from my hands
But it looks like venom to you
Don’t it now?
An olive branch in my right hand
And a white flag in my left
You won’t let me say it with my mouth
So i’ll scream it from my chest
Ceasefire, ceasefire
Neither you nor I can see behind
The trenches we’re so deep down inside
Every time you lie I die a little
So I’m calling for a ceasefire, oh
Ceasefire, ah
Men are from mars
Your heart fights a war with your head
Damned up the reservoir
Stuff your ears with cotton instead
A white flag in my left hand
And an olive branch in my right

Slowly,
sinking my roots
into the stream that drinks us all,
let my waters fall,
fall into the call,
from the one who births us all.
Take your time,
this is your time,
take all your time,
answering the call,
that calls you into us all,
into yourself,
into yourself,
into yourselves,
slowly.

MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE
And the fireworks roared like lions
And the children woke up from their beds
And the dreamers they became lucid
While our memories of the future waited
And the roads found their way to onwards
Shooting stars remembered to fall
And the deserts missed the weight, the weight of the water
While our memories of the future waited
If this is an offer,
then why should we stop here
And are you pretending that you are sure?
Here is something stronger.
Don't gloss it over.
Or are you the past knocking at my door?
And the painters mixed their pallets
And the drummers beat their drums
But at least the hunters put down their guns.
While our memories of the future waited
And the fireworks roared like lions
And the children woke up from their beds
And the dreamers they became lucid

BLOOM - Dillbilly
Verse 1
You won’t recognize me
I’m an absence of color
I take up space
I erase others
Tools I learned to use and hide
In old wounds
When there was nothing left to find
I found truth
So you won’t recognize me
No, you won’t recognize me
When I bloom....
Verse 2
All the light inside of me
Are refractions of color
I change like waves
I sing like the warbler
All my burdens built from lies
And redlines
Used as promises of white
Sand shorelines
But you can’t colonize a dream
So, you can’t colonize me
When I bloom...
Chorus
We are made of estuaries
Our delta mouths turned riverine
We set our hearts to sail downstream
Filled up with salt and then with seed
But on my hands there will always be blood
Mixed up with shame
Mixed up with mud
It’s all held under my skin
I can’t wash away
It’s where the remedy lives....
Verse 3
I’m not as fragile as I seem
I won’t take cover
I am the other
There's no hate left in me when I
When I bloom....

I really want to talk about it
It happens every single day
I really want to talk about it
I know why the people had to move away
I really, really want to talk about it
I know why you’re scared of us in the streets
I really want to talk about it
Everyday people moving their feet
I really want to talk about it
You said development is good
I really want to talk about it
I call it war in the neighborhood
I really, really want to talk about it
It has nothing everything to do with you
I really want to talk about it
You got the deed but you add no value
I really want to talk about it
I heard it on the lower frequencies
I really want to talk about it
I need you way less than you need me
I really, really want to talk about it
But I don’t want to talk to you
I really want to talk about it
You got the deed but you add no value
You got the deed but you add no value
I really want to talk about it

“The fight is dead,” the riot cop said as he sat me on the curb
with my cramping wrists, piss and apple cider vinegar.
Though I’m trembling still, from nerves and chill, I will have to call your bluff
if you think you can stop this struggle with a pair of ziptie cuffs.
A clear sky storm of flash-bangs, beanbags, hazy and surreal;
a scarlet letter spray-painted on a makeshift trash can shield.
But they tossed our stuff before they loaded us on a stolen public bus:
goggles and a spray bottle, the only LAW I trust.
They held us twenty to a tank of cold concrete and steel,
where you’ll lose your mind trying to keep time by counting orange peels.
I don’t know which is worse, missing the warm bath of daylight,
or waking every hour to the same fluorescent night.
I got released to a fast food feast on the front steps of the jail,
but we know our work ain’t finished until we empty every cell.
So you can ban us from the Plaza, stay away from City Hall,
but sure as we burned that flag, that edifice is gonna fall!
So we rage on like a Greece fire, I heard they torched a bank today.
And we raise a fist to Cairo, we’re just a stone’s throw away.
If you’ve got a pot to piss in, don’t be afraid to call it black,
or you’ll never break the kettle and take your city back.

Verse 1
I micro dose the news
Gotta know what’s going on
I can't take too much though
I Drop tears for every bomb
I refuse to
Get used to
Children dying
for adult views
Let the grief wash over my body
don’t have the words to speak
except for one thing
Chorus
Not another dollar for the war.
Not another dollar for the war.
crying out
Can’t take it anymore
Not another dollar for the war.
Verse two.
I occupy some land
But it was never mine
I wanna pay my rent
To the Indigenous this time
Give the land back
Where we took that
what will our kids say
When they look back?
It’s ok if you and i don’t agree
But its not okay to finish off families
Chorus
Not another dollar for the war.
Not another dollar for the war.
We’re crying out
Can’t take it anymore
Not another dollar for the war.
Bridge:
RED GREEN BLACK AND WHITE
LOVE IT TO THE RIND

Not another dollar for the war.

Not another dollar for the war.

You’ve been looking at the
Pictures on the screen
Everything you’ve seen
Happening before our eyes
And someone far away has
Memories to share
An apple and a pear
From trees they planted in another
Time when setting roots
Was the bravest thing
Anyone could do
Now we’re turning into
Something we don’t know
On and on with the show
Play it again, press rewind
And distance is a wound that needs
A remedy to heal
A hearty home cooked meal
From seeds we planted in another
Time when growing
Was the bravest thing
When knowing
Was the strongest thing
When trusting
Was the kindest thing
Anyone could do

In the longest night of winter
I kindle my heart and
by that fire I think of you
Love eternal, blessed, forgiving...
Fill my cup til I runneth over
In the longest night of darkness
I often forget
how to reach your light
You are always there when I need you,
You rush on in when I lift my voice
Sing like a bird, Oh with golden wings
Ring all the bells
, and let the Music in
Love for the world, Oh where did we go wrong?
Love til it hurts, then I'll sing my favourite song. Oh!
In the longest night of winter
I kindle my heart
and by that fire I think of you
Love eternal, gift ever giving
Fill my cup til it runneth over
In the longest night of darkness
I often forget how to reach your light
You are always there when I need you,
in the stillness I hear your voice
In the longest night of winter
I kindle my heart
and there I think of you
Love eternal, calm and compassion
Fill my cup til it runneth over
In the darkest night of my loneliness,
I forget how to reach your light
No matter what God is to you,
you have a voice to sing it in

For Inspiration
What are you in love with
What makes you care
What gets your attention
and keeps it there
How are you to handle
How do you go on
Voices, choices
Am I left or right
or wrong
Go on, and make it
You will find your way
The answers
and the questions
Questions in the waves
Who are you in love with
Who makes you care
Who gets your attention
and keeps it there
Where'd you get your voice from
the one that sounds so pure
You give me inspiration
kind of makes me want some more
Go on, make it
You will find your way
The end is in the asking
You'll recognize the place
You'll recognize the face

when I was older
I could no longer see
the way you talk, the way you breathe
when you're sorry
how I listen
when you don't speak
I never hear you
when I am singing
love goes
out my window
throw it down
throw it around
and I bring it back again
when you talk to me
in that slow way
and say the things
you want to do
on the finest summer's day
I could go home then
thinking of the moon
and I would bring out everything
and I would love you too soon
yeah I would go home thinking
of all the things we could do
run around slowly wanting
to bring it all home to you

I’m Alright
I guess that I’m alright
I’m up the hill now near McLaren park
I’ve gotten used to lonely nights
The deepest blue before the sky goes dark
For awhile there was someone new
To paper over ancient history
But truer colors started bleeding through
When I remembered how we used to be
If somehow I could take
All our troubled days
Back again
Would we only break
In a different place
Even then
Bought myself a couple years of grace
Working steady living on the cheap
Mornings begging me to keep the faith
Sunlight tangled in a lemon tree
Shined my shoes and shaved my face
Hopeful is as hopeful does
But the daily dawning can’t replace
The one thing I was ever certain of
If somehow I could know
What the future holds
In upraised hands
Maybe I’d let go
Of our long ago
Best laid plans
Bombs are blowing half the world apart
In the cradle of humanity
While I nurse along this broken heart
And wonder if you ever think of me
Occupation equals genocide
I press my lips up to the megaphone
But without you shouting by my side
Ten thousand voices and I’m all alone

A blanket above of cloudy gray sky
I’m all wrapped up in your denim eyes
Sweet creature of love, your warmth provides
And through each phase I see your butterfly
You’re wired for love
And I’m all fired up
You’re a triple flame
My heart beats your name
The sky opened up now lights raining down
I’m hovering above what I once knew as the ground
Sweet creature of love your depth provides
Into your water body I deeper dive
Your waters of love (waters of love)
Are filling me up
And still burns the Flame (burns the flame)
My heart beats your name
You’re wired for love (wired for love)
And I’m all fired up
You’re a triple flame (triple flame)
My heart beats your name

Millions watch me
On the big screen
Play the hero
Strike the beast
Feed me all of them
I'll never die
It is time to say goodbye
Goodbye
I'm done building brawn
I'm done workin' the body
So I ditch my fame
And I drop my claim
To shred this dread of mine
I ditch my fame
And I drop my claim
To shred this dread of mine
Millions want me
Naked and raw
A sacred knight
Cut, shared, tasted with bite
Like a creed
It is time to turn divine
Divine
I'm done building brawn
I'm done workin' the body
So I ditch my fame
And I drop my claim
To shred this dread of mine
I ditch my fame
And I drop my claim
To shred this dread of mine
It is time to turn divine

The light has changed and some of us have lost our way
What will you say as they look out on the drying lake?
We’ll fade out slow, but quicker than we had been told
No greater courage shown than living like you won’t grow old
The water is hotter, the mighty thaw
The current’s reversing, the last are lost
What once were clouds rolled out and all have turned to smoke
Fire came through town and took it down before they woke
Are you not afraid? You risk it all just to get paid
Then give no thanks, she’ll give you more than you can take
You’re given every reason, you pay no cost
We’re losing the seasons, dry heat or frost
The water is higher, the islands fall
The current’s reversing, the last are lost
No storm can take me down
Endless light, endless sound
No man can take me down
Endless life, endless sound

We are our mountains
We are our mountains
We are our mountains
Like we have been
A monument in the highlands
We are the roots of the vine
That hold the soil together through time
Wind pushes past the double summits
From me and you, to me and you
Take the basalt and tuff
And raise up a khachkar of us to
Dream us off to Shushi
Over peacekeepers and drones
For it’s the stones that chart our
Bones and mark our high home
Dream us off to Shushi
Over peacekeepers and drones
For it’s the stones that mold our
Bones and hold our high home
Return us to Shushi
Past the present past the known
Back to the stones that are our
Bones and mark this Hye home

Some Have Called it Hell
© Chelsea Coleman 2022
If you could see me now
You wouldn’t fret about
The longing or the doubt
The way it all turned out
You’d know that I’d be proud
You made it through those years
While so many disappeared
Some have called it hell
You’ve done so very well
Holding on to yourself

lyrics
Stuck inside in the rain
Staring out faux window again
Your friends …
Seem lesser than before
Do you feel it a lot?
When they add nothing but meanness to the plot,
A Twitter parade
Of hated origins made
Another round of fear severe of queer veneer goes in one ear and out their rear throughout the years
So unlike what you see
I hope it’s raining on your minions and your peace
Peace of mind is a thing
Thing of the past we seem to agree.
But at least
We keep our future Elon-free
Another round of peace beneath a sheath of leaves and when you grieve faux window cracks and then you leave

Do you know,
What you are?
Or how you seem,
From a distant star?
Alive encircling,
So many ones,
Who are you?
What will you be?
Who are you?
What will you be?
Could be fire,
Could be green,
So many things,
You have seen.
Could be blue,
Could be sea,
And many more,
You’ll surely be.
We’re always yearning to become,
Never more than what we were.
We’re circles returning,
We are circling ones.
Who are you?
What have you been?
You are beauty,
You are sublime,
A speck of light,
In a sea of time.
One bright moment,
In some vast dream,
Who are you?
What have you been?
Who are you?
What have you been?
I recall your gleaming,
Jeweled and white,
So many ways,
You’ve turned through night,
I’ve watched you breathing,
You are alive,
So many days,
I’ve watched you rise.
Could be fire,
Could be green,
So many things,
You have seen.
Could be blue,
Could be sea,
And many more,
You’ll surely be.
You’ll surely be.

“If Only”
Jovan “Slykstah” Moore-Prewitt
Vesre 1:
What if we aint have to go by what if’s,
What if I wasn’t beefin’ with sheriffs
What if they aint violate me at all,
Pattin’ me down grabbin’ my balls
What if instead of comin’ here as slaves,
We had the chance to become immigrants
What if I walked along a clearer path,
What if I aint ever turn into Slyk
My ass probably would have been deported, Walkin around with all of these warrants
What if I woulda did bette in school
What if I wasn’t so fuckin’ ignorant
If we didnt have to fight our whole lives, maybe we wouldn’t have to ai shit out
If my nigga wasn’t bon in the shit.
Maybe my nigga would still be around
What if my uncle Ray was around,
My mom lost a twin, and I got a twin
What if my grandpa could see me grow up, My granny so strong, she keep on a grin
What if it seemed more realistic,
To be Obama, and not Escobar
What if instead of a jail cell,
I could celebrate my 21st at the bar
I got hella shit to say to these niggas,
Why the fuck yall gotta fake for these Niggas
I’d pobably go out and fuck with mo’ niggas if I aint know niggas would snake their own niggas
I gamble for them high stakes with my niggas, Ride aound makin mistakes with my niggas
It seem like the reaper love takin us niggas so I’ll do whatever it takes for my niggas
If only if only, I can have my way
If only if only you could be here today
If only if only I can make a difference
If only If only I can make one wish
If only if only, I can have my way
If only if only you could be here today
If only if only I can make a difference
If only If only I can make one wish
You can’t sit there and pout though,
At least not about that though
You cant focus on females
When you need whats financial
Aint no use makin mountains,
Outta mawfuckin ant hills
Heavy shit hit like anvils,
Better take you an advil
Better nut up or shut up my nigga
Because they aint even got 2 fucks For a nigga
Concieve it believe it and come up with somethin
and keep yo’ mental on the un up my nigga
Fast fowad nigga fuck what you did, ‘cause what if’s aint finna help fill up the fridge
When everybody yo’ pastor to the pigs,
Is tryimg to find another reason to trip
Just try to find somethin else you could flip, and right when you think that you failed you’ll prevail
And dont even sit there worried about heaven ‘cause to tell the truth you been livin’ in hell
So go freshen up, comb out yo hair,
Roll somethin up, say you a prayer
Hollah at me every once in a while,
We separated but some day you’ll be here
And I know right now it may feel like a struggle
Just know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel
Everything precious was covered in grime, Gotta be polished before you can shine
Everybody round you trying to bubble
But you scrub enough you’ll get sudsy in time
The wold’s kind of fucked it’ll play with yo mind,
But you're Imacuate your soul is divine
If only if only, I can have my way
If only if only you could be here today
If only if only I can make a difference
If only If only I can make one wish
If only if only, I can have my way
If only if only you could be here today
If only if only I can make a difference
If only If only I can make one wish

The Feminine Soul
(CHORUS)
We don’t need to be quiet, we don’t need to be calm
Don’t need to figure out how to be tough and strong
We don’t need to be taught, we don’t need to be told
Tired of fitting into these stupid molds
The fight has been fought, and we’ve already won
The new consciousness has already come
We must shine our lights, fly our flags on the poles
It’s time to reclaim… The Feminine Soul
_________________
Whatever your gender, whatever your creed
The gifts you have are the gifts we need
Don’t buy into the fear that gets spread
The old consciousness is close to dead
Like a pussing wound, or the rattle of a lung
The patriarch knows it’s nearly done
Whether or not they’ve got a conscious clue
Every single soul is saying #MeToo
CHORUS
Take an inhale, then take an exhale too
There’s nothing that you’re not connected to
The time is up for agreeing to the lies
That fragment us off and polarize
If it’s in him than it’s in me as well
And until it’s loved, it continues to swell
So I’ll look at my shadow, right in her eyes
Until her light can’t be denied
CHORUS
The mother, the whore, the healer, the crone
Are all on the line, if we pick up the phone
Unconditioned and back in the wild
Each of us is an innocent child
If you keep on hating and reacting
Your body and soul will keep contracting
Before Mama Earth says our time is gone
Stand together in love and share your song
CHORUS

if anyone should fall
by Andrew Bancroft of Moondrunk
step back, one step/ then another, don’t rest
step back, for perspective/ til there ain’t nothing left
to divide us, like our blood/ like our skin, who we love
and inside us, what remains/ been the same, since day one
it’s only one heart breakin’
it’s only one heartbreak
it’s only one breath we are trying to take
oh if anyone, if anyone, if anyone should fall
oh if anyone, if anyone, if anyone should fall
if anyone bleeds, we fall on our knees, hear the heavens call
our souls, they know, it all
step one, take a look/ at yourself, are you shook
did they tell you, you were nothing/ tell me how much they took
their fear needs a mirror/ if the pain was their own
could you see your face clearer/ like the most precious stone
it’s only one heart beatin’
it’s only one heartbeat
it’s only one God we are gonna meet
oh if anyone, if anyone, if anyone should fall
oh if anyone, if anyone, if anyone should fall
if anyone bleeds, we fall on our knees, hear the heavens call
our souls, they know, it all
step forward, one step/ then another, don’t rest
til we’re closer together than we’ve ever been / and there’s nothing left
to divide us, like your guns/ put them down, hold your sons
hold your daughters, feel their pulse/ we are one
if anyone, if anyone, if anyone should fall
oh if anyone, if anyone, if anyone should fall
if anyone bleeds, we fall on our knees, hear the heavens call
our souls, they know, it all

We got you outnumbered
By Obo Martin
There must’ve been something in the water
There must’ve been something in the food
There must’ve been something we were breathing they were spraying
That had us all subdued
It’s like the whole world had amnesia
It’s like the whole world had the memory of a fish
It’s like holding your head with a concussion
It’s like history did not exist
And I wonder about the wall That they’re building on the border
Is it to keep the Mexicans out or us from crossing over?
It’s like President, So and so
Was just another puppet
I would have voted for another, but they wasn’t on the ballot
It’s like no one even noticed
that we were under siege
in a coup d’état
of the new regime.
It’s like no one said a word
when they shut up
Amy Goodman
it’s like no one ever heard
GMOs Could harm
your children.
and I think that it’s absurd
to attack your own civilians
As if those bombs
did not bring down
those buildings.
It’s like everyone was implanted with a microchip
And you couldn’t get your groceries
if you gave him any Lip
it’s like everyone is focused
on their glowing screens.
It’s like awls anybody ever wanted
was cheaper gasoline
And then it happened
The ancient prophecies came true
A sudden shift in consciousness
And it told us where to go
and what to do
And that “blew my mind”
We got you out numbered
we got you on the run
we got you surrounded.
We recommend you throw down your guns
we got you out numbered.
We got you on the run
we got you surrounded and we shall overcome.

Stand with me and look through history,
see the workers organize,
and fight brave revolutions,
and win their new sunrise,
then watch their new-formed governments,
corrupt and strip their rights,
and watch it all repeat again,
or hear the forest sigh:
"when will you cease to fight for wages,
and start fighting for our lives?
whenever you're ready,
I will be here waiting,
whenever you're ready,
a wheneva-whenever you're
whenever you're ready!"
So we left civilization,
to find nature's purity,
we dropped out of college, quit our jobs,
and climbed the mountain peaks,
but when we tried to join the mountain goats,
they circled their young ones up the slope sayin:
"why would we circle with you -
who won't even circle with your own?
don't you know your heard and you are
inseparable, no matter how far from them you go?"
And they said:
whenever you're ready,
we will be here waiting,
whenever you're ready,
oye gente, canten conmigo
whenever you're ready!"
How can I want your revolution -
another car your thugs can steal?
I don't wanna take your backseat,
shotgun, or the wheel!
I don't need your god or leader
or their permission to be free!
I don't need your stenciled hero,
or your statue of liberty!
I wanna howl in the canyon,
feel it howl out of me,
with the liberty of a little child..
We are decentralized revolution,
we can touch and breathe our goals,
we claim the flamboyant rainbowed sky
as our own national soul,
and every tree's our country's flag,
air - water - earth - we give rights to 'em,
so you can open your stores, and throw your wars,
my people won't shop or fight for ya,
you can read our advertisements,
we'll leave 'em burning in the night for ya,
standing circled with the wild,
my people:
Whenever you're ready
we will be here waiting
whenever you're ready
oye mama yeah!
whenever you're ready
I hear - I hear the people hummin,' I feel - feel a change a-comin up I'm ready
(whenever you're ready)
all across the country now, hear the people speakin' up out loud, hear the people singin' out sing it!
(whenever you're ready)
we're on our way! we're on our way! we're on our way!
(whenever you're ready)
yeah - ready! we're goin' on, it won't be long!
(whenever you're ready)
whup comin whup comin!
singing "whenever you're ready"
shake your peace! get whup!
(shake your peace, shake your peace, shake your peace)
don' matter how low you feel now!
get moving! we're on the train they can't stop now!
(whenever you're ready)
I can't help it! I can't hold me back!
come on band help me out, 'bout to put some whup on it!
(whenever you're ready)
ready! ya ready?
(whenever you're ready)
you're ready!
(whenever you're...)
I will be there!
(whenever, whenever you're...)
whenever you're ready!

Now that I'm home from the war
I'm a changed man from before
You ask me a riddle and you tell me a rhyme
and you wonder at the distance behind my smile
There are ghost limbs hanging
they are swollen and aching
they are sounding the siren, they are calling for mercy
but nobody is watching, nobody is listening
no one can hear your calls
Now that I'm home from the war
I don't clasp my hands together no more
You talk of the order, and your faith in a plan
and all the good that will come if you believe that it can
But I don't ask God for nothing
and I am haunted by the dimming
and I am haunted by the suffering in the eyes of the dying
but nobody is watching, nobody is listening
no one can hear your calls
And I once was like you
always looking for signs
in the shapes of the water, in the colors of the sky
But now I am sure we are here all alone
there is cold air above us and there is cold ground below
And there is no blessing
there is no protecting
there is no white light shining down from above
and nobody is watching, not a soul is listening
no one can hear your calls
Now that I'm home from the war
I'm a changed man from before

President
Lyrics and music by Catherine Scholz (chorus partially adapted from the Threshold Choir)
I'm looking for a President
Who knows how to speak his mind
You know I haven't found one yet
And we're running out of time.
I'm looking for a President
Who knows what can be justified
This world has gotten so complex
And nothing's black or white.
What are you afraid of?
What do you desire?
Dive into the water.
Walk through the fire.
I'm looking for a President
Who knows what's wrong and right.
It doesn't take intelligence
To order up a fight.
I'm looking for a President
To get this planet unified
Don't matter if she's black or red
Or even left or right.
What are we afraid of?
What do we desire?
Dive into the water.
Walk through the fire.

we’re all just tall monkeys
that like shiny things
sugar & routine
& feelings of control
but never pain(!)
most are less furry
& fewer have tails
but all beat their chest
to feel in control
it’s how we pray
please, please, please, please
don’t let us die alone
don’t let us die of boredom
all alone

Rishi, send me down a Rishi
Send her from the skies
Rishi, come on baby Rishi, Open my eyes
On a map I might’ve missed it
Never known that it existed!
But a verse in the hymn of a song
Was my first clue
That led to you
On a nap I might’ve kissed it
Got a taste of the mystic
When I woke,
a saffron air
was still there
with her sage perfume In the room!
Rishi, send me down a Rishi
Send her from the skies Rishi, come on baby Rishi Open my eyes
Dogmatic crimes & convictions,
in nursery rhymes & pulp fictions,
they’re only passing phrases through the hazes of our youth (oh, sweet tooth!)
a monitor somewhere is beeping with consciousness never sleeping...
we had all the answers,
but we gave them up to get the truth
(a little sleuth!)
Rishi, send me down a Rishi
Send her from the skies
Rishi, come on baby Rishi
Open my eyes
While the world is in trouble —
I’ve been living in a bubble!
All the peace and harmonies we could need
All under one roof
(Then peek-a-boo!)
While we were drifting through the rubble
I saw life through the hubble
A hundred wars in the world
for us to fear
But you live in proof
We can keep a coo!
Rishi send me down a Rishi
Send her from the skies
Rishi, come on mama Rishi,
Open my eyes

Why Did I Wake Up
The shootout was planned for dawn
All the weapons cleaned and drawn
They all stared into the sky
Even then they wondered why
Why did I wake up in this dream
The flames whine their deadly song
The pull of destiny is strong
It's what you wanted all along
History won't right your wrongs
Why did I wake up in this dream
It could have been 'most any time
The sentence that the future brings
The justice of the guillotine
When you take someone's soul
Part of you falls in the hole
The more souls that you take
The deeper they will fill the lake
You're floundering in the field
Hoping secrets are revealed
Why did I wake up in this dream
It could have been 'most any time
It could have been almost any place
It could have been anyone's world
It could have been anyone's God
Yeah but it was me...why did I wake up?

Like a shadow you move,
like waves that are always blue,
and time held me close in my place
I could carry on like that
the clouds are falling like mirrors
they meet the water and it meets
my eyes again
A sharp tongue and no will to care
Can hardly last past the morning
You were an island white
and the horizon would fade-
the mast a flag put down over me -
and I was giving
Like a shadow you move,
like waves that are always blue,
and time held me close in my place
Underneath the cherry blossoms
pink is flooding me above
a baby’s tongue or the sun
setting over a cloud
Painted by children
and washed away
The lies you told could stretch on for miles
Like trumpet vines and cockle shells and
White terns falling
Like a shadow you move,
like waves that are always blue,
and time held me close in my place
Your whispers behind the veil
No prayers from the wings that fall
Like snow -
And if you hear me cry at night
it’s just that I have seen light

I am face to face with my childishness
Wearing selfishness as a harness
I want to show you flowers and fill my hours with progress
I want to be a queen, refer to me as your highness.
I'm as greedy as I'm giving
Use my feelings to make a living
I've been tethered to a self-induced tension
Searching for tenderness inside my apprehension.
I am face to face
With a longing to belong to a place
The taste is familiar in an unfamiliar way
I'm chasing a current for reassurance
And I've got so much farther to go
Every second I grow older
And my bed's just getting colder
I'd lend a shoulder to any handsome soldier
Who'd stay the night and give a light to this lonesome stoner
I wanna bury my lies miles below my mattress
And then I'll build me a home out of the ashes.
I am face to face
With a longing to belong to a place
The taste is familiar in an unfamiliar way
I'm chasing a current for reassurance
And I've got so much farther to go

Your hands on my body,
Make me think of something naughty,
These flowers, this vase here,
Makes me want to disappear.
Hold me close, so I don't fade,
Tighter the grip the more I slip away,
I am uncertain everyday,
In me dreams you wear me out,
Somersault and turn around
I relive a moment,
Sun-kissed skin is warm and showing,
Need to be alone now,
Tell myself, but I don't know how.
Hold me close, so I don't fade,
Tighter the grip the more I slip away,
I am uncertain everyday,
In my dreams a late night dip,
Circle lines around my hip.
Your hands on my body,
Make me think of something naughty,
These flowers, this vase here,
Makes me want to disappear.
Hold me close, so I don't fade,
Tighter the grip the more I slip away,
I am uncertain everyday,
Tighter the grip the more I slip away,
Hold me close, so I don't fade,
Hold me close, so I don't fade,
Hold me close, so I don't fade...

Prisoner of war, battered and torn

Even if there is a veil over our eyes
there's a green I can't describe
on a quilted ridgeline
Even with all that is filling up our minds
standing on the watered edge
riding liquid lineage
Oh all that is new
what we need to
color the view
Oh all that is old
taking us home
only to roam
We were listening while the moon came out in movements
as the water peels below
and its surface mirrors fold
light alive having been so for so long
as behind becomes ahead there's a question of which led
Oh all that is new
what we need to
color the view
Oh all that is old
taking us home
only to roam

A huntress for the truth
Beware the baton, battered and bruised
Electric shock, overused
On those who have, the clearest view
And how the walls, do not talk
And the mirrors how they stalk
Oh Marion, do you see?
The great divide, in me
Many, times, paced up and down
My given line
And I held, my hand's tied
In a formal way, my craft denied
And all the walls, still don't talk
And the mirrors how they stalk
Oh Clarion, do you see?
My bruised and maimed intimacy?
I saw the way, the great divide, will merge someday
It's hunted, it's craved
All over your face, and in your name
And on the walls, in chalk, written there on the rock
Oh Marion, do you see?
The great divide, leaving me?

“Acquiescence” Lyrics
By Future Twin
From the album Wavelength Sovereignty
We rush in, now there’s treaties of timelessness
How much can you hone?
How much can you hone?
We jump in, try to hold our breath and swim?
How long can you hold?
How long can you hold?
I decide
I can break out of this static role
I decide
We can break out of this hole
Acquiescence is when you’re quiet when they go in
To take your soil/soul
To take control
When we go outside
In common we can win
What do we own?
How do we own?
I decide
We can break out of this static role
I decide
I can break out of this hole
I can break out of this hole
When you get tired
And you think that you can’t win
We must hold
To save our home
When the leak’s a tide
And Manning is a trend
We must hold to save our home
I decide we can break out of this static role
I decide we can break out of this harm

She flees through thickened sand
His face a mere superstition
She turns round to grasp his hand
But all that’s there is sun, and sand, and sky
And above a lonesome dove
What was once her home has been bombed to the ground
And as the Daesh troops advance
Her father whispers run as fast as you can
Now displaced and alone she wish that she could just fly
To the camp west of Manbij
Just like the dove
A shaman sits on shaded bank
His eyes two orbs of azurite
Whilst motioning to the sky
He tells her that the dove, will fly, and sing,
In spite of hate and war
Once the Mirage façade fades
There she sees the camp
With the rest of her family
And they're together again
Just like the dove they fly and sing

Butterfly
Music by Miwa Gemini Words by Patricia Harmon
My daughter stoops to catch a butterfly who flits away from her enchanting touch
This movement adds a magic beauty now her fingers forming wings that kiss the wind
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These summer days are like a butterfly
Butterflies are water color blurred in motion
Daughters blur purple pink and yellow red of the moving sun at the dusk and dawn
They haste alike and reach for moon
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These summer days are like a butterfly
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These fragile wings make flight of time
In summer Jennifer has wings to fly
This butterfly, this Jennifer untamed frightened ballet dancer, courtesy and grin
Their audience sprinkler, grassy hills, mountain tops that reach for clouds like them
To catch them not possible today, like breeze, cotton candies, tears and snow
A morning hug, an evening tickle
Turn around they are gone, adventuring ahead
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These summer days are like a butterfly
These summer days are like a butterfly
No keys will lock the fleeting hour
These fragile wings make flight of time

You lead, lead, lead us all up to the edge. We hold, hold, holding hands tight, hold our breath. And step, step, trip over rocks, feel emptiness, we rise, rise, open eyes, see where from we have come. So breathe, breath, breathe, perch as bird as bird upon the ledge, to take, take in, and receive all we have met. The sigh, silent call of time in each speck of sand, that comes, coats, wraps, like an arm, held to this land anew…
Asalam Shalom, asalam shalom, asalam shalom aleichem salam asalam alaikum shalom aleichem salam, asalamu alaikum, shalOm…
The sky is the same here, no matter where I stand, harmless blue, gentle peaceful blue, holding life, holding birds still looking for their homes to land, yes the sky is the same here no matter where I stand… loose like a willow, lose yourself, lose your self-consciousness, break like a shell, fall apart, let it all come in…cause the sky is the same here, no matter where I stand… so breathe, breath, breath…

"Just a Little Bit More" is the fourth single from Lapel's upcoming "Brutal Joy" EP, out November 3, 2023.
I feel like everyone can see
The grief all over me
Like something stuck between my teeth
I’m the only one who doesn’t see
The pain spikes like a fever in the evening
But no one wants to diagnose a feeling
I turn up the music in my headphones like a morphine drip
I sink back into my seat and baby I begin to slip
Oh, oh, oh-ah-oh, ah-oh-oh
(Come on girl just a little bit more)
Over the hill and through that door
Come on girl just a little bit more
Over the hill and through that door
Over the hill and through that door
Come on girl just a little bit more
Over the hill and through that door
Come on girl just a little bit more
I didn’t think I had much left
Since the forest fire in my chest
Every nerve is burnt from where you stepped
There’s a curve of ashes where you slept
But in the belly of my belly I dug down until I found
A well I didn’t know I had, buried underground
It’s gonna take a ton of trips till I can put this fire out
But I never would have found it if you hadn’t thrown me down
Oh, oh, oh-ah-oh, ah-oh-oh
Over the hill and through that door
Come on girl just a little bit more
Over the hill and through that door
Over the hill and through that door
Come on girl just a little bit more
Over the hill and through that door
Come on girl just a little bit more
Over the hill and through that door
Come on girl just a little bit more
Over the hill and through that door
Over the hill and through that door
Come on girl just a little bit more
Over the hill and through that door
Come on girl just a little bit more

A candle bleeds into the night again, they’re bickering
Like melted shadows
Puddles drip between the empty light, they’re flickering
Like a peaceful battle
Sleepy trees
Hang their arms
Then they leave
Finding pockets where they weren’t before and picking them
Just to tear some fabric
When I tip toe from a messy place, I trip on things
Its a nasty habit
Sleepy trees
Hang their arms
Then they leave

(I will watch you)
Fill
Up
Till you’re empty (and)
Still
That
Void holds plenty (when)
Will
You
Let your Self be (just)
Kill
All of the
Beasts that chase me
Down
Into the dawn the darkness opens like a morning
Yawn
Gone are the days when I could stay and you could go so
Long
Songs about love aren’t really about anything be-
Cause
Flaws in our nature
Claw their way out from the danger
Claw MY way out from the danger
Nothing on earth could be stranger
The Pit gets black from its container
I miss the abyss as viewed from above
To sink alone is thee darkest thing I can think of
Push come to shove
There is no love
No sad song
It’s all (gone) wrong so
Fill
Up
Till you’re empty (and)
Still
That
Void holds plenty (when)
Will
You
Let your Self be (and)
Kill
All of the
Hopes (dreams) that made me
Me
Free isn’t just the opposite of being caught in
Chains
Painstakingly we’re all set free to drown in what we
Fear
Steer clear of clarity especially when it hides
Hate
Wait till the end and you’ll find out just
What it takes to
Fill
Up
Till you’re empty (and)
Still
That
Void holds plenty (when)
Will
You
Let your Self be (just)
Kill
All of the
Demons that won’t let you
Fill
Up
Till you’re empty (and)
Still
That
Void holds plenty (when)
Will
You
Let your Self be (the)
Thrill (is)
Gone (so)
Please just let me
Be
The thrill is gone so please just let me be
My will is gone so just give up on me
My will is gone so just give up on me
I know I’m wrong please don’t give up on me...

el aire tiene olor
a que alguien murió
prende la vela hijita
no llegues tarde estelita
que la noche te alcanza
y no te vuelvo a ver
van ya más de veinte veces
que el ave se espanta
el alma no aguanta
de ver pasar los rostros sin vida
no mires mi niña
es por tu bien
mira que es por tu bien!
deja mejor que te cuente
del día en que era todo verde
corrías y no, no buscaba
no hacía falta saber donde estabas
deja mejor te cuento de los sueños eternos
del aire que cruza los cercos
de éste amor que ahora te ofrezco
mi niña, verás que la vida va bien
el aire tiene olor a que alguien murió
cierra la puerta hijito
no quiero escuchar el rito
de los tiros que danzan
y te hacen caer
ay! que te hacen caer
deja mejor que te cuente...
mis niños, verán que la vida va bien
-------------------
translation:
the air smells
like someone died
light up the candle my child
don’t be late estelita
the night will reach you
and i won’t see you again
more than twenty times
the bird has been frightened
the soul can’t bear
the passage of the lifeless
faces
don’t look my child,
for your own good
let me tell you instead
about the day when everything
was green
you ran and i didn’t seek
i didn’t need to know where you were
let me tell you a story
of eternal dreams,
of air that crosses over the fences,
of this love that i offer
my child, life will go well, you’ll see
the air smells
like someone died
close the door my child
i don’t want to hear the rite
of the shotguns that dance
and make you fall
let me tell you instead...
my children, life will go well, life will go well

Dealt the cards with your brooklyn buddies sitting round the phonograph
Too anxious to be solemn, so you all just kid and laugh
So much unknown lies ahead as you step into this void
Your naivety is a saving grace as you prepare to be deployed
Lost 2 years stuck in a body cast, discharged from japan
Is that what you had in mind when you set off to become a man?
Now your wife and your family are wondering what you’re for
They can see that your mind still lingers on that Okinawa shore
Though your disdain and your anger they can not ignore
Will you ever end the war?
Poor kid from the San Joaquin thought you’d take the GI Bill
Signed up to shave your head and make your bed, beats working at the mill
Parris Island, South Carolina such good times you never had
Then you launched off to South East Asia proudly waving that Old Glory flag
You left home a hero, returned to ridicule and scorn
Half your friends didn’t make it back and now your questioning what you had sworn
All that’s left are your memories and the uniform you had worn
In your best times and your darkest with your lost brothers that you mourn
Wonderin’ would it have been different had you not been poor?
Will you ever end the war?
9 year old in a war-torn city, lining up for bread
Still alive, but traumatized from the missiles overhead
The only home he’s known cries in ruin with a horrifying stench,
In 3 years time he’ll be radicalized and his mother he’ll avenge
Generation after generation the lesson’s slow to learn
We never get any lasting peace from cities bombed and burned
Still the autocrats march on and on despite the world’s uproar
And the dream of peace seems further off and ever more obscure
Will there come a time when we no longer endure
Will we ever end the war?
It’s up to us, what are we waiting for?
Will we ever end the war?

GROTTO
Sometimes at Dusk
I leave this world
to swim in my pristine deep green grotto
There’s schools of fish
in starlit clouds
and seaweed swirling like a mermaid’s hair
We all need
a place to go
to swim in our pristine deep green sorrows
Where shadows play
upon the walls
mimicking the rising of our fears
CHORUS:
In darkened rooms
Self critical fingernails
Waste precious time
Picking at scabs
Burdened by love
Beyond our capacity
Afraid to give
Away all we have
If you were naked would you be as beautiful
As you’ve convinced us you are?
I’ll create
A giant butterfly net
So I can catch and comprehend your dreams
But when I’m there
Inside your head
Will you feel safe or vulnerable and mean?

Brown girl, the world breaks your heart every day
So you break a heart to get even
Cuz what can you do with this fistful of pain?
What have you left to believe in?
Cuz everyone around you, they all whispered 'bout you
How could they be wrong?
So brown girl, grow up like a duckling
But brown girl, be swan
Brown girl, be swan
Brown girl, be learning to smile again
Smile without worry or reason
The world beat her up; beat the world to the punch
And punch til she’s numb to the feeling
Cuz everybody saw you, they got all their eyes on you
Expect you to be strong
So brown girl, be tough like a duckling
But brown girl, be swan
Brown girl, be swan
Brown girl, be swan
Brown girl, be

STEAK & COOKIES
If you could feel a thousand spiders crawling lightly
down your arms you’d never think that
after 15 years of the windows taped up tightly
could prevent the sun from burning brightly.
Still we'd continue to play
neverminding the way
the floor kept on moving.
Someone's at the door!
It's mom back from the store!
But she just left five minutes ago!?!
And if we go outside I will seek and you can hide
but soon enough the boss will find us
both and if we dare we can act like we don't care
but steak and cookies always wins fair and square.
Thank you and now come let’s go
mother's already begun to watch
"My Life As A Dog".
Now that all the snails are sleeping in your Ovaltine
Choose your brother or your friends now who's it gonna be?
Not even the sunflowers monstrous as they seemed
Towering high overhead could scare as much as she.
Mixing dead baby chickens with white cake in the kitchen
it somehow never fails to paralyze.
It plagues just like the raindrops tapping on the rooftops
And all the penguins that can't remain un-shamed.
How dare you!
Now they've got to go
they will never get to see snow
or grow old.
When I don't recognize your face
in another place
you won't even know my name
and we will have changed.
So say that you'll never want more
and I'll close the door.

fEel by Suzanimal
In a big blue lake
Deep as its wide
Down on the floor is where I live
Stuck on a rock
Shapes drift by
Here with the weeds is where I stay
I don’t mind x3
From a world before
When the lights were dim
And the current pulled me in so close
And the rain falls down
And waters rise
Lends me a hand but I'll stay here
I don’t mind x 3
I’ve been on my own
carved out my world
Living between my will and the waves
In the dark I rise
Growing each day
Living between my will and the waves
I don’t mind x 3
And I can’t see
I can’t see you
You anymore
And the thoughts you have
And the words you say
Can’t reach me
(But I can feel
Yes I can feel
When you're near) x3

seaweed sway San Francisco, California
SeaweedSway is a collaborative evolving project by Jessie Woletz & many incredible friends over the years, encouraging
community through music gatherings especially.
The poem of "SeaweedSway" sprouted in a convo between Karl Blau & Jessie in 2007, when Karl opened for BrightBlack Morning Light at the Great American Music Hall. The music encouraged seaweed-like movement in the room.

Peerless "punk" jazz. I particularly love the sound of the drums & the trumpet. Sweet, intense, full of fervor.
