The Dew of Your Devotions

May 15, 2026 

Bombs are not the answer
And kindness isn’t bad
Caring for your neighbor
Is not a silly fad

Don’t let people tell you it’s just a dirty scheme
You can make a rainbow out of dandelion dreams

No more Golden Idols
No more worshipping machines
It’s time to tend the garden
And cook some healthy greens

Don’t let people tell you it’s just a dirty scheme
You can make a rainbow out of dandelion dreams

Time keeps gurgling on
No matter what you do
Pick a destination
And paddle your canoe

Don’t let people tell you it’s just a dirty scheme
You can make a rainbow out of dandelion dreams

it sure beats living a lie

April 17, 2026 



Smashing into walls
Cuz you really like the view 
Singing to your hatred
Cuz it loves you so true

I might pay a price for telling the truth 
But it sure beats living a lie

Practicing your backstroke 
Swimming in the gutter
Wearing your deception 
A coat of many shudders

I might pay a price for telling the truth 
But it sure beats living a lie

Self-preservation 
Is the only thing you trust 
Throwing friends and lovers
Underneath the bus

I might pay a price for telling the truth 
But it sure beats living a lie

Inside out
Your pride is really shame 
There's nothing left to hide 
There's no one else to blame

I might pay a price for telling the truth 
But it sure beats living a lie
