if we don't do something soon to change the
direction we are heading, we are all doomed..
it is not a matter of politics. it is a simple truth.
we are in trouble and it is impossible not to see.
if we don't act now it may be too late, and the
world is much too beautiful to be ruined by human greed.
we need to recognize our place among all living
creatures and our responsibility to contribute
positively to the earth as a whole. i don't need
to tell you any of this, as you already know...
but here's a song i wrote about 4 years ago, hoping
that it wouldn't still apply today...

HONESTLY

i've been honest with you girl
and i've been honest with myself
but i am hiding from the world
and i am trying not to yell...
what the hell is going on?
why is everybody always dying??
some of them are much too young
some have children in their arms
still crying...

honestly, what do you want me to do?
i've tried to find an answer
honestly, do we even have a clue
what we need to make it better?

we are burying the earth
underneath a billion tons of pavement
so what do you think it is worth?
do you really wanna try to save it??

CHORUS

and do you really trust the government?
do you listen to their bullshit??
i swear this world is going down
and the only lifeboats are spaceships...

This is incredible.

Your words have more than I'd like to believe. I hope that soon we can all work together to save this beautiful blue ball we live on.
So I may have just saw you at the intersection a couple weeks ago but hope to see you again soon.
Keep spreading the world and maybe we'll all wake up.

I'm full of typos but spell check seems like a censor sometimes.

Thank you Jason. That was inspiring. We are so blinded by fear the we need to stop and think what is a stake? This earth is a jewel, our lives on it a gift, we need to listen to what it's singing to us. Sing it out loud Jason!!!

I'm going to jumble your words. The honest human truth is that greed prevails in the minds of those who seek to dominate this world. The ends to the means are simple complexitites hidden behind vague agendas. Slowly the things that ought to be created have stopped and replaced by the slow exploitation of things already created. Art, sound, dance, nature, morals and philosophies have all slowed in creation and have been re-birthed and re-manufactured in a way to squeeze more out as opposed to creating new ideas. This isn't simple evolution. Evolution is building on an idea to better the world, not breaking it down in stages. Through war and ravage we are ripping apart moral foundations and artistic integrities. Not only man made creations, but we rape our planet of its beauty by ripping the soil away from her and pulling her soul apart root by root.
Slowly ideas boil in the minds of all people. Collectively these ideas will find evolution in themselves and force change or choose to continue with destruction. Bit by bit and piece by peace we are fighting a losing battle that does have a light of hope somewhere within it. This ray of inspirational clarity can be salvaged and a strong backbone of love can be created.

so how about you encourage people to volunteer towards a cause they care about.... turn in a little description and pictures and best one gets to meet you.

We need to do more then talk and point out the problems. I'm going to help the "Get the Vote Out" campaign for Obama tonight--what about you? ;P

Isn’t too late to change! If people believe that by doing individual changes on their lives it would reflect on the lives of all of us… we would be on the right way to safe the earth. Thank you for sharing Jason… you are already making the difference!

Your song reminds me of the song "How Come" by Ray LaMontagne I don't know if you've heard it...

Lyrics :
People on the street now
Faces long and grim
Souls are feeling heavy
And faith is growing thin
Fears are getting stronger
You can Feel them on the rise
Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes
I said how come
How come
Everybody on a shoestring
Everybody in a hole
Everybody crossing their fingers and toes
Government man spin his politics till he got you pinned
Everybody trying to reach out to each other
But they don't know where to begin
I said how come
I can't tell
the free world
from living hell
I said how come
How come
all I see
is a child of god
in misery
I said how come the pistol now as profit
The bullet some kind of lord and king
But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is going to bring
Love can be a liar
And justice can be a thief
And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink
I said how come
I can't tell
the free world
from living hell
I said how come
How come
all i see
is a child of god
in misery
I said how come
Its just man killing man
Killing man
Killing man
Killing man
Killing man
I don't understand
