Never . . .

. . . fail you. . .

Round every corner and fade into blue
The Angelus rings, she comes into view
Nine is her number
In nine she is due
She will never fail you

Singing creation, look into her eyes
Out of her mouth she is speaking the sky
Circling heaven, higher than high
She in time is movement

Why should I move from her world vibration?
Molding this clay into
Paleolithic Goddess Figurines

Streaming to rivers, she floats on the sea
Gathers her children who sit on her knee
Showing and telling them where they are free
She is softly speaking

Holding the line when she seems unpleasant
Molding this clay into
Paleolithic Goddess Figurines

There is no real dilemma
She has her own agenda
Though there's a vulture hovering above our heads
Go on and trust the pattern
Her sun and moon are lanterns
Painting the firmament with stars

She is the vision of attention engaged
Breaking the spell of automaton rage
A circuit of heaven, a luminous wave
All is seen before her

Why should I move from her world vibration?
Molding this clay into
Paleolithic Goddess Figurines

Round every corner and fade into blue
The Angelus rings, she comes into view
Nine is her number
In nine she is due
She will never fail you

And Ye Shall Hear . . .

On Tuesday, January 5th, President Barack Obama said (among other things in his address regarding gun control measures),
". . . I believe in the Second Amendment. It’s there written on the paper. It guarantees a right to bear arms. No matter how many times people try to twist my words around — I . . . believe that we can find ways to reduce gun violence consistent with the Second Amendment. . . "

2016 Republican Presidential candidates said,
Sen. Marco Rubio said Obama is "obsessed" with "undermining" the second amendment.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush . . . accused Obama of “trampling on the Second Amendment.”

Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted, Fight back against @BarackObama's unconstitutional #2A executive action

Ben Carson argued on Twitter that Obama’s proposal will "regulate" freedom.

Carly Fiorina tweeted, Another lawless, unconstitutional overreach. The 2nd Amendment is an individual right.

Did any of the latter LISTEN to the former?

What's So Funny . . .

. . . (to paraphrase Nick Lowe) about facts, good sense and understanding . . .

(from Outsider in the White House by Bernie Sanders with Huck Gutman)
". . . The problem . . . is that groups representing the wealthiest people in this country are able to decisively influence the legislative process so that public policy reflects the interest of the privileged few and not the needs of the general population. And if you don't understand this simple fact, you haven't a clue as to what politics in America is all about. . . "

Songs . . .

. . . for the old and the new . . .

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne-
poem by Robert Burns)

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,

and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On old long syne.

CHORUS:
On old long syne my Jo,
On old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On old long syne.

(from the New Year's Pre-Party at Bourbon Street on the Beach, December 31, 2015)

Hotep . . .

. . . Bubba . . . (or the other way around . . . )

(from https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=bubba%20hotep)
". . . After falling into a lengthy coma following a freak accident involving hip gyration, a now aged Elvis Presley . . . wakes up in an East Texas nursing home, where he befriends Jack . . . an African-American senior who claims to be President John F. Kennedy. After residents of their quiet retirement community start dying of dubiously unnatural causes, Elvis and Jack discover that the perpetrator is Bubba Ho-Tep . . . , an Egyptian mummy with murderous intentions. . ."

GOT IT??

Sans . . .

. . . vocal . . .

At heaven's door we pick the lock
When all we had to do was knock
Though Alice she rattles her train of chains
The fetters are inward all the same

Take a look as you fall
Passing through another wall
Here is where the corn is cut
The wind comes down
Get off the pot
Get off the pot
Get off the pot

It's your world the way that you live
Eats the smile right off your face
You're not in Kansas anymore
I am the sheath I cry for more

Biding trends and waves of shock
The turbulence it turns me on
Nonetheless we're born and rocked
By divas, drunks and Barbie dolls

I signed up for high-wired acts
If I lose my balance just cut me some slack
I'm holding out for what can be
EMC squared possibility

Experience to be alive
The abstract now is literalized
You have dreams and nightmares to explore
Get the goods
Get off the floor
Get off the floor

Get off the floor

Ah . . .

. . . satire . . .

(from http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/12/1/1455773/-To-Bernie-Sanders-Supporters-From-The-Establishment-DNC)
". . . It has come to our attention that a few of you have been wandering outside of our giant, multicultural, comfortable tent. This comes as a complete surprise to us, because we have done everything imaginable to keep you complacent open our hearts and minds to your concerns and build a corporate funded oligarchy nationwide coalition of status quo responsible Democrats. . . Our success has been bought and paid for, and we’ll change our views faster than a Kama Sutra flipbook in order to keep it that way. . . Senator Obama was right in 2004 when he said there isn’t a Red or Blue America. There’s only a money fucking green America, and we have most of it. At least, on “our” side, we have most of it. . . No one is going to vote for some really, really, really old socialist Jew from a state that doesn’t even have a professional football team. Political revolution by raising awareness and the general collective consciousness of the American people goes over like a fart in church when facing a well-established...erm...establishment. . . While you’re out there working your asses off, we’re still cashing checks and rigging both the media and the terms of the debates. . . And we’re literally banking on Bernie Sanders losing the primary so you’ll become just as jaded as we are. Best Wishes, Hillary Clinton and the DNC . . ."
