SEVEN WORLDS, ONE PLANET
Part 1
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
in-between the world goes around
forever spinning
a planet that’s living
we take and take
it just keeps giving
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
a world where natural wonders abound
seven worlds, one planet
unfurled (for all) to see
cruising the heliosphere
(through) the cosmos endlessly
(A) full moon comes up, there’s not a sound
a night so peaceful the world goes around
(the) coral is spawning
precious new life (is) dawning
time and tide with the seasons
move to(ward) a new morning
The sun comes up, the earth moves around
in-between more forests come down
The roar of chainsaws
replace the sound of the wild
no more birdsong or chatter
from (flora and fauna) natures child
Part 2
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
in-between we burn more ground
(we) burn coal, gas and oil
from beneath the soil
while sea levels rise
and temperatures roil
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
how much longer will we be around?
third planet from the sun
a sea world that’s living
with 8 billion mouths to feed
can it just keep (on) giving?
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
in-between the world goes around
forever spinning
a planet that’s living
we pollute and plunder
Gaia just keeps giving
The moon comes up shiny and round
There's a howling wind such an empty sound
nothing left on our planet to see
a wasteland (caused)by insensitivity
laid waste by humanity
(while) the surge of plastic on the shore
ripples on into eternity
Many sun's rise up, many sun's go down
the ice shelf melts and islands drown
the barren wilderness makes not a sound
now there's aught (left) to go around
without exercising restraint
we risk the planets health
we need to stop polluting(taking)
For our children's children
Let our world heal itself.

isoabd is a concept album on the theme of the evolutionary history of life on planet earth. It is a collection of “short passages in the continuum of life”, from instauration in the ocean depths to the present exigency of climate change. From “sunrise” to “the sun goes down”, the album envisions the evolutionary journey (struggle) from the genesis of the single cell of the last universal common ancestor (luca) to the explosion of multi-celled life in the oceans (“out of the dark”), the colonisation of the land Pangaea (“escape into the wilderness”) to the extinction of the dinosaurs (“a stormy day”) and the subsequent rise of the anthropoidean mammals and in particular hominidae, the group of peculiar beings that we belong to. “a winters day (the five ages of ice)” spans the aeons and “a day on the river” completes the historical timeline whereas “in the cold light of day”, “a day for the memory” and “at the end of the day” begs the question, is it a better day?, “does evolution run blind?” and where to from here? “the sun came up … the sun goes down” completes the day (and the story?) All things come to an end eventually … but … remember
“no one is ever really gone!” … Luke Skywalker.
Stay well, enjoy life and … live long and prosper …. I am dokus
