So pure and true... i love it, my friend ! I was not able to answer directly to your message and thanks for sharing my song and your poem songs, with me Dave !  Your song "flower in a pot on the sill" -The most personal thing I've ever heard. It has reached me deeply. So intimate. As if you could directly share a heartfelt feeling from soul to soul.   your song "Stand up and sing - I know you are out there" - So true - so to the point. That's exactly what I think. And we are united by the fact that we are both poets. However, I write German poems. It's my mother tongue.

Great message-Nicely done-An enjoyable song 😊

Really good and relevant lyrics Dave with great delivery too. Such worrying times.

cool this song like a little conversation from a wise elder..agree with the message

A cannon hidden in the beauty of flowers. Pure poetry not just lyrics. Great tune, Dave!

The media of the world seems to be caught up with adoration of characters in some kind of existential play - but we all are, and need to be kind to each other.

Gotta Run - Korima

В рощице берёзовой  (Доченька Мила)

Rayons de poussière dans la lumière
Des ruines des hommes des innocents
Je ne sais pas où est passé Lucifer
Ni dans quel calice gisent nos sangs
Nuit de peaux fermes et de charmes vaporeux
Indocile ivresse des mois amoureux
Volutes enivrantes soumises
Variantes obscures éblouies
Du divan rouge au divin flou
De nos élans fous j'éteins tout
Je préfère un enfer de muscles bandés de mots sales
Qu'un paradis de chairs silencieuses molles et sages

J'ai purgé sur terre,  le vide
Les fleurs des abîmes me vont mieux
Que toutes celles qu'ils coupent depuis jadis
Je brûlerai à défaut d'être pieuse

Je lècherai les flammes des déviances arides
Je suis la coupable les tyrans pâlissent

J'ai franchi le bord du gouffre
J'ai connu la mort le doute
J'ai semé le vivant
Comme le sable 
balayé par le vent

Je vais vivement brûler
leurs cantiques incarnations
J'ai suffisamment tremblé
Sous ces infâmes actions

Je suis trop
Bien trop intense
Bien trop bavarde
Je parle trop
Trop fort trop vite
Je ne contiens pas ma vie
Je suis trop étrange
Étrange comme mes mots
Qui te poursuivent et t'étranglent

Dark Smooth Melody (Damga / La Gazelle)

Independent critical thinking based on facts and based on the fundamental ideals of mutual respect/empathy for each other and the planet is needed now and I sense the reliance on AI/social media as they are functioning today is a path to self destruction

lyrics

the internet's gone,your screen has gone blank
what will you do
How will you think

you built a cocoon of whispers and fears
sat by your self in the dark for so long
you cannot tell the right from the wrong

you shut out the sun the wind and the rain

so can you go now out into the street
can you deal with what's really real
Can you tell the truth from the lies
all by yourself
without any help
from your faceless friends on the internet's web/

go out and get dirty
go out and get wet
look a real person in the eye
try to remember how it felt
before you fell down that sick rabbit hole
and forgot you were alive

what will you do?

Along with my favorite Ukrainian side-singer … give peace a chance

Lyrics

You ain't foolin me
You ain't foolin me
You ain't foolin me with your AI tunes
I just ain't gonna follow you

But hey do what you want to do
Do what you want to do
Well then do what you want to do
Hey do what you want to do

Alligator take that keyboard to the trunk of the tree
Chew it all up and spit it free

But hey do what you want to do
Do what you want to do
Well then do what you want to do
Hey do what you want to do

Alligator take that keyboard to the trunk of the tree
Chew it all up and spit it free

Alligator take that keyboard to the trunk of the tree

But hey do what you want to do
Do what you want to do

Never Trust A Kevin 

When I was just a little boy                                                         
There was this nasty kid                                                             
Kevin was wild, Kevin was vile                                                   
All the twisted things he did                                                        
I tried to be friendly                                                                     
I tried to play nice                                                                       
They said, “Kevin behave”                                                             
“You will scar that boy for life”                                               

Never trust a Kevin                                                                     
I can never trust a Kevin in my life                                             
Never trust a Kevin                                                                     
I can never trust a Kevin in my life                                              
                                                                            
Run from the school, coming for me 
See him beat me down the block
I'll wait till I'm older, got to get stronger 
And in time, I'll clean his clock
But that day never came
We both slowly moved away
But his legend still haunts, the pranks and the taunts
I still cringe that name today

Never trust a Kevin
I can never trust a Kevin in my life 
Never trust those Kevins 
Never trust those Kevins in your life

Kevin Smith, Kevin Bacon                                                       
The Costner, O'Leary and the                                                 
Federline nations                                                                    
 Mr. Spacey,those things they said you did                                            
And Kevin McHale..........                                                                 
You ain't no paraplegic kid!....   

….   Artie walks! .....what a fraud ......
                                            
Never trust a Kevin
You can never trust a Kevin in your life
Never trust a Kevin 
You can never trust a Kevin in your life 
Your life, my life

Too many Kevins in my world
See the way they bring me down 
Remove the K, turn the N to L
And you can call them EVIL now
So what's in a name, what's in a face
It's a childhood memory 
That's seared in my brain, I can not erase…. that Kevin close to me...

               



Never Trust A Kevin

your eyes pulled me from the wreckage

Ghosted

I think I just missed a turn 
I shouldn’t have made
I just paid a toll I shouldn’t have paid.
Life has dreams that never come true, 
He said, “take a chance on me, I took a chance with you.”

And I got ghosted
Yeah, I got ghosted
He turned every fear I had against me,
Now I’m standing alone in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

Some carry grievances
They refuse to evaluate.
I think it’s time I say
I was one of those who wanted to retaliate!
I let you lead me astray.
I let you lead me into hate.
I guess it’s on me to accept the cause of my fate.

I got ghosted
Yeah you ghosted me
You turned every friend I had against me,
Now I’m standing alone in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

I think I missed the adrenaline rush
I shouldn’t have been so inhuman
that’s the drug we all been dealt
It’s the drug that you been pushin’
My life had dreams that never came true, 
So, I took a chance, I took a chance, and I was a fool. 

And then I got ghosted. 
Yeah, you ghosted me.

You turned every friend I had against me,
Now I’m standing here in my shame
Yeah, I got ghosted.

HCR 08172025:

Trump has misunderstood the nature of power in a democracy at home, too. Rather than building domestic coalitions to support the government, he is overseeing the takeover of the government by a radical minority that seems to think the way to build power is for the government to attack its own people.

The administration’s defunding of scientific research, medical care, environmental protection, food safety and security, and emergency management all threaten Americans’ health, safety, and security. Its attacks on history and education, as well as its firing of women and racial and gender minorities, seem designed to drive wedges among Americans. Its incarceration and disappearing of undocumented migrants both creates an “other” for Trump loyalists to hate and provides a warning of what could happen to the regime’s opponents.

Now, under the guise of fighting crime, the administration has quite literally turned guns on the American people.

LYRIC
We hear the guards shout
It’s 9 and lights out
The truth is so stark
Alone in the dark
No ‘nighty-nite’ here
And no ‘sleep tight, dear’
No one to console
Us on our bedroll

We serve our sentence
Despite our repentance
No one’s obliged to sympathize
Here's what life has shown me 
We get so lonely we could die

A narrow window
Is all that we know
A glimpse of the sky
A bird flying by
That must sustain us
Thought it can pain us
To know there’s so much
We’ll never touch
So we muster resistance
To look off in the distance
But sometimes our hearts ask us to try
We see an old leaf blown free
And get so lonely we could die

The world’s betrayal
You know each day’ll
Break like it’s new
Then disappoint you 
My term’s determined
Of that I’m sure, friend
And yours is as well
That much we can tell
No pleas, no whining
No silver lining
In clouds that clutter up the sky
A single ray may break through
Just long enough to make you want to cry
How bad can the unknown be?
Here
We get so lonely we could die


we get so lonely we could die

Temporary Shrines

these are short songs ,poems more than musical songs really,that are meant to emphasize the lyrics that address what I think are critical issues for all of us : our relationship to each other/the planet/ourselves.. so please have a listen and let me know your thoughts. nothing fancy/cell phone recordings/take care be safe

the ignorant savants is the musing of Byron Haskins, a self-educated creator of informal compositions, interpretive covers and other musical abstractions. It is a Third Act, informed by the first two - applied psychology and political activism. You may find automated music sequences but no artificial intelligence. You should USE HEADPHONES for the best sound as GarageBand is pressed to it's known limits. Also find rotating playlists featuring other creators. If we get only $2.50 per 1k plays here, you must know that hanging here means love, not lu$t.

what will you do?
