The disappearing forests
are no cause for alarm,
... the greenhouse effect
won't do you any harm.
It's all a big lie.
Yeah, ...they're selling us a big lie.
Age and a game of supply
and demand,
... we aren't eating
up the planet just as fast as we can
It's a big lie, getting
bigger all the time, It's a big lie.
Yeah, the truth is hard
to find .... it's all a big lie.
-Rik Emmett, The Big Lie
070707 Legend has it before a swan dies, it sings a beautiful farewell. And in the case of North
America's most widespread species of the bird, the legend may be true. Scientists have found that Tundra Swans,
such as these wintering near Chesapeake Bay, utter a plantive "departure song" - a prolonged musical note- just before taking
off. The song is sometimes repeated when one of the birds dies.
"I will play the swan, and die in musik."
-Will Shakespeare, Othello

Can it be there is not enough space for man in this beautiful world,
under those immeasurable starry heavens? Is it possible that man’s heart
can harbour, amid such ravishing natural beauty, feelings of hatred, vengeance, or the desire to destroy his fellows? All the evil in man, one would think, should disappear on contact with Nature, the
most spontaneous expression of beauty and goodness.

“Dorcas, the last twenty or thirty years I’ve been a worthless, no-good parasite.”
Dorcas yawned and nodded, ”Everybody knows that.”
“Never mind the flattery. There
comes a time in every man’s life when he has to stop being sensible – a time to stand up and be counted –
strike a blow for liberty – smite the wicked.”
"Ummm..."
"So quit yawning, the time has come."
...Besides, Jubal was tickled at the notion of balking the powers-that-be. He had more than his share of that streak of anarchy which was the birthright of every
American; pitting himself against the planetary government filled him with a sharper zest than he had felt in a generation.

Psst!
Hey man
Wake up
I see the power
Changin' hands
Risin'
from the streets
A self-made businessman
Knows why the system must be beat
Lost on the racetrack?
Know not where you go?
The
road to destruction
Is all we seem to know
'Cause it's a rip-off
Been stepped on and cheated
Been stone cold
lied to
We're not defeated.
Dream another
dream
'cause this dream is over
Dream another dream
This
dream is over
Dream another dream
This dream is over
So dream another dream!

I can see that you
got fire in your eyes
...and pain inside
your heart
So many things have come...
and torn our world apart
Just don't give up
Don't give up!
DON'T GIVE UP!!!!
Now I believe in fate and
destination
but so much of that lies
in our own hands
When ya figure out what
you want
Just go on out and get
it!
Just don't give up
Don''t give up!
DON'T GIVE UP!!!!
You want love?
Give alittle
If you want faith
Just believe a little
You want peace?
Turn that cheek a little
You gotta give
to live
It's so much easier
to push instead of pull
Just don't give up
Don''t give up!
DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

Days grow shorter
Nights are gettin long
Feels like we're runnin outta time
Every day it's seems harder tellin right from wrong
You gotta read between the lines
Keep up your spirit
Keep up your strength
I am countin on you
You knowhat you gotta do
The good booksay it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part.
Nothing in my pockets
Nothing up my sleeve
I keep my majik in my heart
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you
where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land ....
plumes of smoke rise .... and merge into the leaden sky .... a man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers ... and
wakes to a morning with no reason for waking ....he's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise .... in his youth or a dream
.... he can't be precise ... he's chained forever ... to a world that's departed ....
IT'S NOT ENOUGH IT'S NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one world .... one soul .... time pass .... river roll .....
he talks to the river ... of lost love and dedication ....
silent replies .... swirled invitations .... flow dark and troubled ... to an oily sea .... a grave vision ...
of what is to be .....
