about

Thinking about Bernie Madoff, the environment, life and the shocking decline of Western liberalism and social democracy, its beauty and its downfall.
Funny what a bit of ultra heat, dehydration and plenty of idle time can do to a man child.

lyrics

Snowdrift blanket
whiteout
all is still
the Golden Snowman blinks
and makes the kill
he melts and vanishes
exit stage right
the trail went cold when they declined to fight
we are dust

Who can stand and stay the fall of man
consequence be damned
conscience the plan
he started by weeding his back yard
chemicals at the soil
his focus jarred
we are dust

Body sinking deep in to the ground
roots emerge and find some life around
Mondrian and Georgy Best
pushing up the grass
just like the rest
we are dust

While our earliest dreams come unstuck
and then replaced by preaching
"who gives a fuck"
to be light isn't hip
on this suffering fool's ship
is this why we were given a soul?
I give up, I don't know where we're headed now

Someone turned the lights out in the West
after all the bleeding hearts had been caressed
we don't need enemies anymore
there's only one thing that's guaranteed in store
we are dust
we must look inside not above
our only hope is love
