  1. Peering out my window,into the sky,I was stunned and amazed to see what appeared to be a large glowing orb. I thought back to my youth and I recall the village folk speaking of a fire ball in the sky that warmed the earth and bringing forth light to places of darkness.

    Could this vision that I see outside my window actually be what the ancient mariners referred to as the sun?

    Are you sure the moon is not on fire?

  2. I remember being richer than a king

    The minutes of the day were golden

    I recall that when the joint passed around

    My body felt a little colder

    But now I'm like a sewer channel - running lime and scag

    Let me get at the master panel - let me at my stack

    The sea refuses no river

    And right now this river's banks are blown

    The sea refuses no river

    Whether stinking and rank

    Or red from the tank

    Whether pure as a spring

    There's no damn thing stops the poem

    The sea refuses no river

    And this river is homeward flowing

    I have seen a trace of strain

    In other's eyes, not spoken.

    I must admit that I enjoyed their pain

    But this time it's me that's broken

    I demand for you and His

    This must be the time

    When we decide what freedom is

    Turn water into wine

    For the sea refuses no river

    We're polluted now but in our hearts still clean

    The sea refuses no river

    We tried not to age

    But time had it's rage

    We're washed over the stones

    From babies into clones of the mean

    The sea won't refuse this muddy river

    Nor deny the sulphurous stream

    There was a fool in a dressing robe

    Riding out the twilight hour

    Lonely and cold in an empty home

    Trying to assess his power

    But now he's like a stream in flood

    Swollen by the storm

    He doesn't care if he sheds his blood

    Let him be reborn

    For the sea refuses no river

    Remember that when the beggar buys a round

    The sea refuses no river

    And rain fills the gutters

    No time for stutters

    This is our chance

    To sing and dance and to clown

    The sea refuses no river

    And rivers were sprung to drown

    The sea refuses no river

    No pecking code respected for the damned

    The sea refuses no river

    Whether starving and ill

    Or strung on some pill

    Just 'cos you own the land

    There's no unique hand plugs the dam

    The sea refuses no river

    And the river is where I am

    The river is where I am
