Bird Tribes Are Rising

Published February 26, 2023 by tindertender

This song has been playing in my head off and on for the last two days … blood lines …

Ohlo Lungwo Lungwoi 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 

Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 
The Bird Tribes are rising 

Ka old soul 
Oh it is written 
The Ancient Ones will rise again 
I bow in complete recognition 
The Bird Tribes are rising 

Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 
The Bird Tribes are rising 

Ka Old Soul 
It is legend 
The Ancient Ones will rise again 
See my soul of different colours 
See my feathers worn from within 

Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 
The Bird Tribes are rising 

Oh come sit by this fire 
Warm the seeds you’ve sewn 
Time travellers how far we have flown 
Are we not birds of the same feather? 
Is this not prophecy? 
I rise up for I remember 
All of Creation 
Is inside of me 

Ka Ohlungwo Ilungwo 
Ohlo Lungwo Wei 
The Bird Tribes are rising

Open up and breathe, your moving meditation.

When the stress is rising up, take it down.

Water Lillie’s, your thoughts are sacred.

Let them rest inside the sound.

Let them rest inside the sound.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Open up and breathe, your moving meditation.

When the stress is rising up, take it down.

Water Lillie’s, your thoughts are sacred.

Let them rest. Let them rest inside the sound.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Don’t forget to breathe.

Ain’t No Stoppin’

Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!

There's been so many things that's held us down
But now it looks like things are finally comin' around
I know we've got, a long long way to go
And where we'll end up, I don't know

But we won't let nothin' hold us back
We're putting our selves together
We're polishing up our act!
If you felt we've been held down before

I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!
I want ya'll to listen, listen

To every word I say, every word I say!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!

We've got the groove!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!

We've got the groove!
I know you know someone that has a negative vow
And if you're trying to make it they only push you aside
They really don't have, no where to go

Ask them where they're going, they don't know
But we won't let nothin' hold us back
We're gonna put our selves together
We're gonna polish up our act!

And if you've ever been held down before
I know you'll refuse to be held down anymore!
Don't you let nothing, nothing
Stand in your way!

I want ya'll to listen, listen
To every word I say, every word I say!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!

Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!
Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We're on the move!

Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!
We've got the groove!

Rich People

Published January 8, 2023 by tindertender

Seems like bad news all of the time
We got floods and fires and wars and crime
They try to tell me who I ought to blame
But I know who it is cus it’s always the same

Don’t be ashamed if you get confused
When you talk to your friends or you watch the news
They try tell you where it all went wrong
Now you don’t have to argue just sing this song, it was

Rich people, stackin the deck
Rich people with big fat checks
Rich people, they’re havin a ball
Rich people been fuckin us all

Back in 1979
The western world was in decline
So, Ronald Regan and Thatcher too
They fixed it right up, but not for you

Just for: rich people, stackin the deck
Rich people with big fat checks
Rich people, havin a ball
Rich people been fuckin us all

Who run the world?
It ain’t the jews
Rich people don’t pay no dues
Who did the crime?
It ain’t the blacks
Rich people don’t pay no taxes
Who took your job?
It ain’t immigration
It’s rich people with corporations
Who threw the vote?
It ain’t rednecks
Rich people with big fat checks

Rich people, stackin the decks
Rich people with big fat checks
Rich people, havin a ball
Rich people been fuckin us all

Cycle Ending Now

Published December 16, 2022 by tindertender

In high school as a sophomore I was involved in jazz choir. Our school hadn’t won an award in competition in over ten years.

One of the songs was a solo, sung by me. We made it to finals. I asked the teacher if we could use my solo in the competition, he barked, no!! You were singing sharp!! I said, no it wasn’t! So he plugged in the cassette, rewound and had a listen, agreeing he was in error, it was right in tune, so we used it in the final round.

We wound up taking first place trophy. I was not permitted to go up for the trophy with others because I was not senior.

Folks like this … they were always around to make certain I never thought too highly of myself.

May he someday understand what he contributed to …
