Here we are watching everything unravel,
all the wonders of life now fade before our eyes.
Nature’s certainties now frail and sick and weary,
all her unities now falter fail and die

Grasping hands rend the web of things connected
our feeding frenzy and our thirst for more and more
The deserts we produce host the tombs of our grandchildren
who will reap the bounty of the warnings we ignored.

Implosion and erosion
Contortion and corrosion.

Debate and disavow and justify inaction
as the storm gathers above our busy heads.
Pretend the clouds are not looming on the horizon
shut out the visions and the fleeting face of dread.

Rise Above or Fall Below

MUSIC FOR THE THINKING FEW.

(UPDATE: 12/9/2025-I am dropping down my activity on here as life is taking me in other directions and the world is ending, basically. I have stopped reposting as there is just too much AI slop to wade through now and I don't want to elevate it or promote it. The songs on here are 2-3 songs per my current 11 albums, which are available on other venues like Bandcamp and Youtube for free listening or purchase.) 

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter/cultural relic with a diverse and "arty" array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the current culture...

but none of that really matters anymore, frankly.
