Just a Lifetime

These are more than words that the false prophet sings
They're promises of what tomorrow brings

There were never any "good old days"
They are today, they are tomorrow!
It's a stupid thing to say
Cursing tomorrow with sorrow

Taking the plunge to change my display name to something other than my IRL name... We'll see how it goes.

My sanity, my sanity
I've nothing to lose, so please let me be
My life is a song, a short melody
Harmonizing with reality
I've got it real bad, there's no remedy
You're all I have, my dear sanity

Sometimes there's no sane reason
For optimism

Ah, October snow.  It's not sticking, but I'll take it.

Intelligence and knowledge are an ordinance
A constant check on privilege and wealth
Nurture it, provisioning a furtherance
Of fundamental democratic health

So it's criminal, antithetical, inimical
To ignite and plan
If you seek to make divisible
The principle of the profane rights of man

Just a couple more days back in the US.

Got at least one convert to the church of Aaronovitch!

For some reason last evening some folks started singing There Is Power in a Union in the park outside my office.  Made me wonder what century it was (in a good way).
