  • Caravan of Fools comes to mind…

    The dark and distant drumming 
    The pounding of the hooves 
    The silence of everything that moves 
    Late at night you’ll see them 
    Decked out in shiny jewels 
    The coming of the caravan of fools

    Like the wings of a dove 
    The waiter’s white glove 
    Seems to shimmer by the light of the pool 
    Some dull, blinding winter 
    When you can’t help but lose 
    You’re running with the caravan of fools

    Love and devotion, deep as any ocean 
    Don’t play by anybody’s rules 
    With your carousel of horses 
    And your unforeseen forces 
    You’re running with the caravan of fools

    Caravan of fools, caravan of fools 
    You’re running with the caravan of fools

    John Prine














    1. New Orleans, Superdome, Katrina. - What went on in there, really. And within a mere day or two; truly, we are just animals wearing clothes.

    2. Being a part of my own Government’s effort to deploy it’s “flagship climate program” worth a billion+ $. Realising, it’s just tax money that’s getting fed upon by industry, with very little actual effect. Also, seeing the climate data and its undeniability in regards to imminent collapse (5-7 y) combined with our utter lack of action.

    A few others as well, but two come to mind quickly.

    I am soured on humans. I have no faith in our species anymore.
