about

Examining the question of how many of us 'should' there be ... personally I think we get in trouble with our shoulds - population is for some a Malthusian timebomb, for others a race for cultural dominance - I guess I'm somewhere in the middle - the Wendigo represents starvation and cannibalism btw. In a time of very interesting global demographics this all feels very relevant....
Anyhoo....oh people of the world, enjoy!

lyrics

Bird in the hand
Worth two in the bush
Woman once stood
When time came to push
Blessed are we
In innocence born

An imminent threat
Another to feed
There's never enough
Whenever there's need
A violence inert
A short-beating heart
The gentle alert
The angry apart

Aching for home
An air of despair
Must fight to protect
The ones in our care
The foam in our wake
The bones at our feet
The blood on our teeth
We're easy to mistake

Jormangundr
Oh what was he thinking?
Nazereth's wonder
We're eating and drinking
So much vital blood
To waste in a flood

Try other than wine
To spark the divine
Instead of a sword
Play the harpsichord?
Try mapping our distance
Millennia spent
The maths of existence
We mightn't have made it!
