Best Of Everything

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02  2023

A song about making life choices.  Make a choice that you think will work out, and then it doesn't; need to change ones plans; and sometimes other choices work out without a hitch.

WHICH WAY TO GO
(c) JunkHeap Jan 02 2023

Traffic light; take a left here; signal right, 
I think I know which way to go.
Merge in fast, the zoomin' fast lane, 
hoping for a slow country road,
but nothings in sight.

Which way to go.
Which way.

Always a choice, was it right, 
only time will tell with some assessing.
Layer and repair when things don't work out,
cuz you can't start again.

<Keys break>

Sometimes everyday selections,
turn into corrections;
Domino effect; unexpected conundrums.
...but then life starts to hit the right sail.
Get it right, things start to flow.
 
Which way to go.
Which way.

Which Way To Go

Experimental recorder/sax mash-up....can't get enough of my new alto recorder with its 'baroque' (or 'English') fingering (hence title......never new it was even called that!)

Baroque Finger Blues

made for good headphones

method: harp, drumsticks, voice, shoegaze, etc
narration: in my mind, there's been this convoluted, overly-complex story playing out about a diplomat losing a note on a sidewalk and media spinning its content into disrespect and all that .... when all this poem really is about is a reminder to mentally adapt to and cater for the usual range of diversity, I guess.

poem / copyright jo richter:

all those who come here
hold dear what they fear
most in attendance
are in ego-state trance
some of those present
are neurodivergent
while we'd long to see
more of those thriving on empathy

Lyrics:

Farewell world, 
`Cos you are not to be trusted
Still nothing to hope from you
In your house the past has already vanished,
The present disappears under our hands,

The future has never begun,
The most enduring falls,
The strongest thing breaks,
And the most eternal thing comes to an end; thus,
That you are a dead man among the dead,
And in a hundred years you will, not for an hour, 
Let us live 

Farewell world,
`Cos you will take us captive,
And will not let us go again,
You bind us and do not dissolve us again;
You afflict and do not comfort,
You steal and give nothing back,
You accuse us and have no cause,
You condemn and hear no party;
So you kill us without judgment,
And bury us without dying! 

With You there is 
No joy without sorrow,				
No quietness without discord,
No love without suspicion,
No peace without fear,
No abundance without shortcomings,
No honor without blemish,
No good without evil conscience,
No status without complaint,
And no friendship without falsehood,
(Farewell World)

(Farewell World)
...

God bless you world,
`Cos in your house the great lords and favorites will be overthrown,
The unworthy brought forth,
The traitors with mercy regarded,
The faithful placed in corners,
The wicked left alone,
And the innocent condemned,

The wise and qualified are given leave,
And to the unskillful great pay,
The obstinate are believed,
And the honest and upright have no credit,
Everyone does what he wants,
And no one what he should do

(God bless you World)
…
for no one is content or satisfied with you, 
if he is poor, he wants to have; 
if he is rich, he wants to count for much; 
if he is despised, he wants to rise high;
if he is wronged, he wants revenge; 
if he is in favor, he wants to command; 
if he is vicious, he only wants to be of good courage.
(Farewell World)
(Farewell World)
