Intro:
In this vast network of life, every node is intertwined—
We’re bound together by simple rules that keep our futures aligned.
When we act with kindness, trust, and care, our bonds grow ever strong;
These rules, though simple, light the way, and guide us all along.
Verse 1 (Default Cooperation Rule):
I choose to start with open hearts, a simple truth to share,
When we meet, I’ll always cooperate—assume goodwill is there.
No pretense of malice, just a promise in my tone,
That every new encounter begins with kindness fully shown.
Verse 2 (Observation and Memory Rule):
I watch the actions of my peers, their deeds I’ll not forget;
A memory of every smile—or every slight that’s met.
For every gesture speaks a truth, a story that unfolds,
So I record the patterns of their hearts, in whispers and in gold.
Verse 3 (Conditional Punishment Rule):
Should someone stray and break the bond, I won’t let it slide;
I’ll signal with a firm response, so trust is not denied.
A measured, gentle punishment—just enough to set it right,
A lesson learned in every round, a beacon in the night.
Verse 4 (Forgiveness (Reset) Rule):
But if the wronged one then returns, with care to make amends,
I open up my heart again, and let the hurt suspend.
Forgiveness is our healing song, a chance to start anew,
A soft reset that mends our ties and makes our bonds more true.
Verse 5 (Threshold Tolerance Rule):
Not every slip calls for a storm, some faults are small and brief;
I hold a gentle tolerance, to ease the hurt and grief.
Only when the missteps stack, and pain becomes a chain,
Do I withdraw my trust for long, to shield my heart from strain.
Verse 6 (Local Information Update Rule):
I learn from every day’s exchange, adjust the trust I keep;
My view of you is ever shifting, as memories run deep.
With each new act, I update well, my heart a living guide,
So I respond with wisdom earned, not hardened by my pride.
Verse 7 (Resource and Environmental Awareness Rule):
For we all share this common ground, the very air we breathe—
Our actions shape the world around us, in every small bequeath.
I know that when we harm our world, we hurt the bonds we share;
So I act with care and mindful love, for nature and for air.
Chorus:
In this web of life, these rules hold us together,
They mend our broken bonds and make our futures better.
Cooperate, forgive, and learn from all we do—
The strength of every heart depends on caring, pure and true.
Outro:
So here we stand, connected souls, with rules that light our way;
In every act of empathy, our network finds its day.
Though struggles may come, and conflicts try to tear apart,
Our simple truths and gentle hearts will keep us whole, right from the start.

(Verse 1)
Imagine an acorn small and sweet,
Rolling gently in your hand.
Plant it deep within the earth,
Then wait, and understand.
Days and weeks quietly pass,
Until a blade of green appears.
But this is just the very start,
A secret held through years.
(Chorus)
Inside this tiny seed,
A mighty oak will rise.
Hidden blueprint waiting,
Reaching towards the skies.
Stories waiting to unfold,
Greatness small beginnings hold.
(Verse 2)
Now picture parchment old and worn,
Letters flowing in graceful line.
A constitution’s humble start,
With wisdom etched divine.
Simple words, profound and clear,
A foundation firm and true.
Rights and freedoms written down,
Society born anew.
(Chorus)
Inside these words written,
A nation’s hopes reside.
Just like the seed’s instructions,
They need the warmth and light.
Justice, courage, freedom's flame,
Guided by the people's claim.
(Bridge)
Both seed and law are living,
Dependent on our care.
Sun and water, earth and people,
Together, growth they share.
Branches reaching to the sun,
Laws adapting, freedoms won.
(Outro)
So beautiful the story told,
The ink that wrote our rights,
Born from oak's own gall,
A seed’s strength giving flight.
Nature’s wisdom flowing free,
Writing freedom’s legacy.

Unstoppable

Yo, open up your mind, see the chains invisible
Livin' life blind, truth labeled criminal
Big Brother watchin', eyes on the wall
Freedom just illusion, prepare for the fall
War is peace, yeah, freedom's slavery
Doublethink rules, truth blurred daily
Ignorance strength, that's the motto they preach
Language controlled, limitin' speech
Hook
Welcome to the nightmare, it's 1984
Words twisted up, can't trust anymore
Thought crimes punished, minds enslaved
Speak doublethink, truth sent to the grave
Verse 2
History rewritten, past erased clean
Ministry of Truth manufacturin' dreams
Reality shifts at the Party’s demand
Facts bend quick when power's in hand
Two plus two equals five now they say
Lies repeated loud, the truth fades away
Eyes wide shut, everybody pretending
Big Brother smiles, humanity ending
Hook
Welcome to the nightmare, it's 1984
Words twisted up, can't trust anymore
Thought crimes punished, minds enslaved
Speak doublethink, truth sent to the grave
Bridge
Telescreens spying, whisperin' fears
Friends turn informants, betrayal appears
Room 101, where rebellion dies
Face your worst fears, as sanity flies
Verse 3
But here’s the secret, they’re scared you'll awaken
Fear is the weapon, your power's forsaken
Question their answers, resist the confusion
Break doublethink, shatter illusions
Truth is rebellion, thought revolution
Speak loud and clear, reject persecution
They thrive in silence, unite and resist
Wake up now or forever exist
Hook
Welcome to the nightmare, it's 1984
Words twisted up, can't trust anymore
Thought crimes punished, minds enslaved
Break doublethink, rise up from the grave

1984

Verse 1
They build their mansions on the backs of our sweat,
Private jets to the sky while we drown in debt.
They got gold-plated pools and more money than sense.
All their luxury’s paid for at our expense.
They dine on gold steaks and toast with fine wines;
We skip meals to get by, scraping pennies and dimes.
But we are the many and we’ve had enough!
We’re lighting this fire — time to call their bluff!
Chorus
(Lead) Billions unite against billionaires!
We got strength in numbers and we know it’s fair.
They can’t buy every vote ’cause we’re everywhere,
Billions unite against billionaires!
(All) Billions unite against billionaires!
Hey hey! Ho ho! Their greedy games gotta go!
We’re singing it loud so everyone hears:
Billions unite against billionaires!
Verse 2
They skip paying taxes, hide their cash overseas;
We fund the schools, roads, and hospitals in need.
They get tax breaks to shoot their rockets to space;
Families back home struggle to keep pace.
They get bailouts and bonuses when their schemes fall apart;
We get layoffs and pay cuts — it breaks our hearts.
No more trickle-down lies, no billionaire airs!
Make ’em pay what they owe — time to settle affairs!
Chorus
(Lead) Billions unite against billionaires!
We want justice and we’re almost there.
Tax the rich, feed the poor — that’s our prayer,
Billions unite against billionaires!
(All) Billions unite against billionaires!
They’ve had their free ride, now the bill’s due to share.
Join in the fight if you truly care:
Billions unite against billionaires!
Bridge
They’ll try to divide us with fear and with lies,
But we see through the smoke, we won’t close our eyes.
No fascist foolery will keep us apart —
We’re brothers and sisters with one beating heart.
From the factories, the farms, to the tech engineers,
All colors, all genders — we rally here!
We’re the many, the mighty, on justice we stand;
You can’t stop the tide of this oncoming band!
Chorus (Refrain)
(All) Billions unite against billionaires!
Give power to people, let’s make it fair.
We’ll shout it in the streets, blast it everywhere:
“Billions unite against billionaires!”
Billions unite against billionaires!
Billions unite against billionaires!
Outro
We’ve got more hope than they’ve got gold,
Our story’s just starting — watch revolution unfold.
With humor and heart, we take on the fight,
Rocking for justice and freedom tonight!
This is our rally, and we’ll do what’s right!
Billions unite against billionaires!

Billions unite against billionaires  [free download]

Verse 1
In the soft light of a quiet afternoon,
Mrs. Mildred cradles her cup in a warm, lazy swoon.
Her cat, Whiskers, curls beside her in peaceful ease,
As she savors the aroma of her favorite tea.
Pre-Chorus
Every sip a memory, each drop a delicate art,
Yet beneath the velvet sweetness, a strange wonder starts.
Chorus
“Tea, are you my pee?” she whispers in a dreamy tone,
A playful riddle born of a mind that’s all its own.
Verse 2
But as the tea cools, a thought begins to sting—
How can such delicious brew twist into something so gross, a disgusting thing?
Her eyes widen in astonishment as the idea starts to seep:
Could this nectar of comfort ever turn into excrement so deep?
Bridge
Amazed by life’s alchemy, where sweetness meets decay,
She ponders nature’s secrets in a most peculiar way.
Is it magic or mere mystery that makes the pure transform,
From the warmth of tea to a fate unfit to conform?
Chorus
“Tea, are you my pee?” echoes softly in her mind,
A curious question where delight and revulsion intertwine.
Verse 3
Across the street, Mr. Tickle watches with a knowing smile,
His eyes twinkling at her musings, staying with her for a while.
In their gentle game of truth, where every riddle finds its place,
Mildred’s wonder fills the room with both humor and grace.
Outro
So as the day drifts on, and the shadows start to blend,
The cat lady and her tea reveal a truth that will transcend:
In every sip of life, where flavors twist and bend,
Mystery and mirth remind us—sweetness might just end
In the most unexpected way, as nature’s laws contend.

T R U My P?  [free download]

(Verse 1)
Hey you, standing on the side,
Thinking that your voice won’t turn the tide.
Got news for you, every vote counts,
Rise up, speak out, let your voice bounce!
(Chorus)
We will, we will choose it!
(Democracy!)
We will, we will use it!
(Our liberty!)
(Verse 2)
Leader, voter, everyone’s call,
Democracy thrives when we give our all.
Together we stand, divided we fall,
Freedom rings loud when we answer the call!
(Chorus)
We will, we will choose it!
(Our liberty!)
We will, we will prove it!
(Unity!)
(Bridge)
Hands up high, hearts beating strong,
Together we decide, righting every wrong.
Freedom's flame burning bright,
Democracy alive, shining through the night!
(Chorus)
We will, we will choose it!
(Democracy!)
We will, we will prove it!
(Equality!)
(Outro)
Democracy’s real when we all play our part,
Stand together, let the future start!

Democracy Anthem

New day, same game.
Read the room, make a move, learn from the ping.
Run the loop.

I walk in, check the vibe—who’s here, what’s the mood?
Pick a move, say hi or slide, brave or play-it-cool.
World talks back—thumbs-up, side-eye, silence, cheer.
Brain goes, “noted,” saves the clip for later this year.
Every choice writes tiny notes in my head,
Like “that joke worked,” “that time? misread.”
No magic, no luck, just a tiny upgrade—
Run it again till the good parts stay.

Eyes up! (see it)
Pick one! (try it)
How’d it go? (get signal)
Now tweak it. (level up)

See it → Try it → Get signal → Level up.
Do it again till it feels like luck.
See it → Try it → Get signal → Level up.
Small wins stack—watch your life glow up.

Two paths: do what worked or try something new.
Same old route gets wins—but new routes find views.
Sometimes you gotta press shuffle just to learn what’s there,
Sometimes you press repeat ’cause you’re almost there.
At night my brain runs a highlight reel,
Replays the day till the lessons feel real.
Inside me: a Player who chooses the play,
And a Coach who whispers, “yo, keep it this way.”

Don’t cheat the meter—fake goals warp you fast.
Pick better prizes: good friends, real craft.
If the signal’s weak, build easy steps first,
Small clear wins beat a giant thirst.
Ask, “What game am I playing?” before you press start—
Make the scoreboard match your heart.

Wanna grow quicker? Tune your settings inside:
How fast you change, how bold you stride,
How far ahead you plan your ride.
Notice your autopilot? Nice—you found the wheel.
Change one knob, watch your world turn real.
Learn the rules of learning and you’ll learn way more—
You’re not just in the game—you’re shaping the score.

See it. Try it. Get signal. Level up.
See it. Try it. Get signal. Level up.

New day, same loop, better you.
Run it kind. Run it true.
