Flash Flood Warning

By Cosmic Cairns on November 13, 2024 9:43 pm

Whoever said "May you live in interesting times" was not offering good wishes.  I've lived through enough interesting times now and I don't need anymore. 

______________________________________________________________________________________________

These days it feels like the world's upside down
Like good is bad and wrong is right
I thought I understood what's fair and just
I thought the truth was in my sight

Where are the grownups who can set things straight?
Where are all the superheroes now?
Can anybody save us from ourselves?
Seems like the world would rather drown

(Is anyone going to say)

I will flow like the river
Coming down from the mountain
I will try to deliver
Cause I know you're all counting on me
Flow like the river
Coming down from the mountain
Though I may shake and shiver
I'll shoot up like a fountain

And with the fury of the righteous few
Come crashing down like a flash flood
To cleanse the world of its hate and fear
And cure the sickness in our blood

I will flow like the river
On this crisp autumn morning
Overwhelm your defenses
Like the hornets a-swarming
Yes I'll flow like the river
On this glorious morning
All your levies will crumble
This is a flash flood warning

I can feel your pain. The stinking shit it boiling over here too. I hope your flood will flash it away merciless and soon, before it is too late. A brave song, sir.

i keep coming back to this Tolkien quote:

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

keep flowing like a river, buddy. heart

Whoa! That broken guitar on the right side is wild!!!

Love the strings, birds sounds, drum beat, fun journey!
