The fires swept up and down dry hills
Hot blazing flames stoked by the wind
Consuming Californian homes
Homeowners angry and chagrined
Before the fires not one complaint
Plump lotuslands of status quo
Soil rife with rich pomposity
Taxpayers rolling in the dough
Their coliseums blazed to ash
Shock turned to finger-pointing blame
Like Romans gluttonized by greed
Complacency fanned every flame
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest of them all?
Scientists who seek the truth
Fighting folly nail and tooth
Without science I'm in terror, bewildered by the flame
without science I'm taken, by Dr. Blood Letting Insane
without science I'm pedestaled, risen up with the God
without science I'm ridiculed, put out as a dirtiest dog
Without science I'm possessed, by devil underground!
without science I'm evil, hogtied then dutifully bound
without science I'm gone, never fact as explains there
I'm simian sans the science, an ape man stuck in fear
Privilege, power, ego, greed
ape hypocrisy and tyranny!
Buckle up now little piglets
be as the freedom un-freed!
I'm navigating a human life, and I want to be like Newton
he's on my team with Pascal, as for them I'm only rooting
Astronomer Galileo Galileo! he's way up high with Kepler,
or Galen lesser known, the father of anatomy's dissectors
oh Leonardo DaVinci, now whom hasn't heard that name
sees Nicolaus Capernicus's sun center solar system fame
Aristotle and Hippocrates, the Greeks were first on board!
but my GOAT's deGrasse Tyson, I like his scientific sword
Buy the ticket
And take the ride
Do loops the loops
Fly high and wide
Kick the bucket
And join the rest
Before you go
Just do your best
The jury is out
We're done and soon hung
Our last jigs are up
Our songs have been sung
Good news is just in
We're now on the wise
Our learning curves quick
Twin truth without guise
Someplace to go, somewhere to stay
somewhere knows, someplace I say
Someone to love, anyone my sweets
someway I'll win, anyhow I'd defeat
Let's write twenty-thousand sonnets
20,000 practice hours become expert
says wilt he's slept twenty thousand,
so I think 20.000 will definitely do it!
I'm sad, I'm hurt, I'm frustrated and angry
if I leave her I'll still be all this plus lonely
Being by myself shan't diminish this blue
if I go, I'll be alone pain sharply reminded
Well-meaning words
Much misconstrued
Dull stony barbs
Old pooches screwed
Sharp needles stuck
Acts out of line
I stab your back
Now you stab mine
