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. . ."
