about

We all want more of it.....time. At the turn of the 20th century Einstein posited that it just might be there for the taking

lyrics

The Timekeeper’s Waltz
Disenfranchised vagrants are all after me
They don’t buy this libertarian philosophy
Because when you don’t have it, it’s just a question of money
But when you’ve got it
It’s anything but that

In human caverns we lay our devotions
No panoply of history motions
Those at the wailing wall chanting abrasive
Are refuted by the faces who’ve been there, done that

Now we’re all dancing to the well known happy theme
Zanzibar to Rio, and all points in between
The promise of tomorrow even with its faults
Take me ‘round again for the timekeeper’s waltz

Ecclesiastic dignitaries rave
Demi -deities got the nerve to play
With the ignorant, desperate
Spiritual calisthenics
Manipulate the mindset or something like that

Now the fortunate, the free
The well-to-do
Well, you and me
Are still prisoners of bias
Unburden! Untie us!
Says the artist or the poet or the churches’ welcome mat
