The spirit of the trees comes out at night 

December 20, 2025 

The universe is charged and wondrous
Feel the force that floats among us
Resist the anger hate and greed
Only take the love you need

The spirit of the trees comes out at night 
Dogs and children see the hidden light 

Dynasties will rise and fall
Nothing's written on the wall
Seeking truth out day by day
We stagger on our wanting way

The spirit of the trees comes out at night 
Dogs and children see the hidden light 

Every breath is blessed and free
Share the joy and dignity
Love and kindness never cease
Live with hope and work for peace

The spirit of the trees comes out at night 
Dogs and children see the hidden light

Come Home, America

June 23, 2010

Come Home, America

We’re crossing seas in search of dragons
And other beasts to slay
Come home, America
Time to discover our own way

Solving other people’s problems
Is an errand meant for fools
Come home, America
It ain’t our job to make the rules

Dropping drones on wedding parties
Ain’t the best way to make friends
Come home, America
We have better gifts to send

Puffy, pasty pundits send
Our youngsters off to die
Come home, America
Before our nation is bled dry

We’re blowing up other countries
Instead of fixing up our own
Come home, America
Time to cast away the stones

We have so much to offer
But we ain’t the world’s cop
Come home, America
This madness has to stop

Decline and dissolution
Don’t have to be our fate
Come home, America
I hope it’s not too late
