Waiting for the Water to Rise or The Woke Agenda

Some people aren’t people in some people’s eyes
If you’re not the right type you don’t count
It’s the woke agenda if you empathize
Waiting for the water to rise

Fuck all your feelings is what the chuds say
Caring just shows that you’re weak
If your colors not right or you’re not the right size
Waiting for the water to rise

Waiting for the water to rise
Up to our ankles then up to our thighs
It happens much faster than you realize
Waiting for the water to rise

When you don’t feel good in the body you’re in
When you don’t like the shape of your chin
If you like ladies or if you like guys
Waiting for the water to rise

If you’re not from around here, not safe where you’re from
Searching for a haven to live
And you look like a stranger in the townspeople’s eyes
Waiting for the water to rise

Waiting for the water to rise
Up to our ankles then up to our thighs
It happens much faster than you realize
Waiting for the water to rise

The monied elite don’t care if we live
Our opinion means nothing we have nothing to give
The water is coming you can’t ignore it
The water is coming don’t wait around for it

As the oceans get warmer and sea levels rise
And nobody cares when the animals die
The next plague is coming, it won’t be a surprise
Waiting for the water to rise

Waiting for the water to rise
Up to our ankles then over our eyes
It happens much faster than you realize
Waiting for the water to rise
Waiting for the water to rise

A friend tried to get me interested in a book called "The Powe of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again"

I'll admit that I approached it with some scepticism, but it just didn't grip me.

It's a book written by someone who--as a journalist--seems able to put words on a page, but probably not knowledgeable about the subject.

New ScientistThe Power of Fun review: A user guide to getting more fun in your lifeIt’s time to strip back your schedule and make time for more fun, according to a new book by Catherine Price

I watched Carnival of Souls (1962) for the first time last night, and WHAT an AMAZING movie! Love that eye acting by Candace Hilligloss!

If you watch it, make sure you watch one of the cleaned up and remastered versions, because it is actually beautiful with some cool cinematography. Also, I’ve heard there are versions of it that are visibly disintegrating, and that doesn’t seem great.
