Haribol. I hear the sounds of mourning, so I post an old song, wish I had the tech to ad my sad guitar, but the final message is appropriate.......

 

The Violence of Time c-1992-mahaksadasa

 

missles aimed at enemies while submarines patrol the seas

children pray on bended knees but they never hold the keys

will he ever hear our pleas to unlock the mysteries?

we can play upon the sea but we're never really free

social forces rule, they send us off to school

to learn to live in slavery and die just like a fool

we never get the chance to take full control

the violence of time, babylon takes it's toll

 

but it is a noble concept, this desire to live free

is freedom something you or i will ever see?

but instead of having any fun with herbs, music, life and sun

forced back then to take the gun, lie and cheat, hide and run

i was innocent no more, my brothers murdered by the score

they didn't know what they died for, no one's ever stopped world war

while holding onto tradition and ringing liberty bells

heathen rulers sign petitions sending us to hell

only the violence of time will tell

 

old age hit, i was forty-one, i can't repair the damage done

skin burned up by the sun, lower back pain, not much fun

i had hoped science told the truth, nectar from fountains of youth

i always thought it strange that their truth always changed

while pretending to be sane though they are all quite deranged

these doctors cannot explain why they can't relieve my pain

all they do is lie about how they make the rain

presumtuous about the violence of time

 

does ignorance hold me at bay? will depression stay away?

do i have assurances to live another day?

on that final day i'll admit i've had an education

but did i find any love, did i practice toleration?

what did i ever do to heal the starving nations?

did i ever bow my head to the lord of all creation?

his many holy names are truely a sensation

when sung aloud to mystic tones or whispered in meditation

he's the player of the song, he's the keeper of his word

the teacher of the heart who gives eternal life

he's the one to hear explain the violence of time
