During the good ol' student days in university around 2001, while living in Australia - as a hobby, i was a vocalist and lyricist for a band. We were called Cyan, multinational, and tried to create songs that represented messages about real issues be it political or otherwise that were affecting humanity and planet Earth. Sort of a new "Rage Against the Machine" 
- a band we liked a lot then.
It was a time i recall feeling, very depressed, disillusioned, and angry with the state of the world (just post 9-11). Lots of poverty, income inequality, environmental destruction, human suffering and despair. At that time, i knew nothing about psychopathy, hence I was really trying to understand the state of world, and why collective humanity was behaving in such a manner. It was an intense period emotionally, as i felt that the only thing to look forward to upon graduation was to serfdom as an employee in the flawed capitalist system. Amidst all this feelings, out came these lyrics (below) as part of the writing process for the band.
Just wanted to share with the forum, 2 songs i wrote then; as today, when considering the events over the past 2 weeks, i feel similar emotions i felt then almost 15 years ago. Thankfully 15 years later i have stumbled upon the C's, Sott and the Crew - hence i have better knowledge now, and hopefully can handle the coming events for humanity.
Civilization’s Edge
As I feel the wind blow off my face
It starts to tingle all memories
Deep inside the recesses of my mind
Hide the secrets that become all I know
It takes the smell of salt & sky so pure
To feel what’s supposed to be felt at the dawn of time
Binding man to earth with pure passion
Seeping through my bones like no other
As I slip into the surface
It will be but an insignificant second
In a timeline of eons in patient nurture
Edges became curves & cells became celluloid
In blatant wonder of all around
A masterpiece of sight to behold such beauty
& Feel the thread of emotions knotting your body
Then we realize we are just and entity
The earth is haunted without a religion
Where are the ones to conduct the exorcism?
The light on the candle is growing dimmer
A gush of wind its all over
We can shield it & light it again
Let it not be that it goes off again
If it is beyond comprehension
Take a drive or walk through the edges of civilization
Then you’ll feel, what should have been felt
By the beings on land who thought they could think
Be true to your soul & promise yourself this
Don’t ever let the candle burn out
Mr. Cyan
If you play the counter
It’s called free look
A being of energy without matter
Free soul, bounded by no book
He sees everything & knows everything
The claws of capitalism can’t touch him
He’s intangible & earns nothing
Yet he’s there waiting and watching
You throw an obstacle, he walks through it
Create a policy he sees through it
You wanna touch he disintegrates
Only to reintegrate in another matter
He’d be the savior of humanity
Always right in the face of wrong
Always wrong to the self-righteous
Knowing no boundaries & speaking only love
The power of peace has never been stronger
The one power got hit so bad
They looked for matter and energy
They thought of hate and created boundaries
Oh how they forgot about him
He sits & smiles in the sky so high
When you look up he’s right behind you
He will be the perfect existence
Always prejudiced towards precedence
However there is a flaw
His existence is deemed folklore
On a completely different note - my current hobby is wildlife photography, especially Bird photography, and i attach a picture i took of the Galapagos Penguin.
This picture was selected by the Galapagos Conservation Trust, to be on their 2015 calendar. I hope the attachment works, if not, the picture can be seen on this link : _http://galapagosconservation.org.uk/get-involved/photography-competition/competition-galleries/2014-2/
The Penguin is a beautiful and graceful bird while in water. This picture represents to me, Hope, Grace, and that "Help is on the way"
