about

This one started as a title first. I misread a Rolling Stone article about a Liberian warlord and thought, “Hmmmmm… what is this story about a Librarian Warlord?” Then I corrected my mistake but it was too late since I had a movie in my head about musicians, songwriters, and poets dropping their pens & guitars and going into armed defense mode against the anti-intellectuals, anti-science, book burners, zealots. It kinda wrote itself and I blew off a little steam.

lyrics

Librarian Warlord

Poets drop your pens,
Join a Warlord
Take your bright hearts
Into the dark
Stake your beloved claim
Upon the cold dirt,
Preserve our high watermark.

Rifles up, and be bold
The bullet of ignorance
Cuts through the flesh then goes cold
Revolution,
I hope and I pray
I do think however
It’s a powerful day

We took our beloved books
Into your inner sanctum,
We fortified it strong for the War.
Surrounded by great forces of denial
We choose love not hate,
Not fear for the world.

Librarian Warlord,
I will stand tall
Against the forces
That came for our firewall.

Resolution,
I hope and I pray
I do think however,
We could do so much better.


We fortified it strong for the war
Surrounded by great forces of denial,
We choose love not hate,
No fear for this world.

Librarian Warlord
I will stand tall
Against the forces
That came for our firewall.

Revolution,
I hope and I pray,
I do think however,
We can do better.
