We’ll continue with the musical tracks from “Oh, Just Drop Them Anywhere”:
===========================================================================
Song: They Drop When They’re Ready
[VERSE 1 – SOLO, light reverb on voice]
You can wait with a pen (with a pen…)
Wait with a plan (with a plan…)
Sit by the door (by the door…)
Like an old tin can (tin can…)
You can pace, you can plead
You can knock with your head (with your head…)
But the drop never comes
‘Til the drop’s been said (DROP’S BEEN SAID…)
[CHORUS – SOFT CHORUS + CALL & RESPONSE]
🎶 They drop when they’re ready (WHEN THEY’RE READY…)
Not a moment too soon (NOT TOO SOON…)
They ride in on thunder (ON THUNDER…)
Disappear with the moon (WITH THE MOON…)
You can beg for the message (FOR THE MESSAGE…)
Or hide from the light (FROM THE LIGHT…)
But they drop when they’re ready (WHEN THEY’RE READY…)
Not when you think it’s right (NEVER WHEN YOU THINK…)
[VERSE 2 – SOLO CONTINUES, faint humming in background]
You might dream of a flash (of a flash…)
Or a boom in the sky (in the sky…)
But it’s more like a whisper (like a whisper…)
In the blink of your eye (your eye…)
Might come in a song
In a feather, a sound
Might land in the dust
Where you kneel to the ground (TO THE GROUND…)
[CHORUS – STRONGER HARMONIES, echoes widening out]
🎶 They drop when they’re ready (WHEN THEY’RE READY…)
Like fruit on the vine (ON THE VINE…)
They don’t care for your deadline (NO DEADLINE…)
Or your calendar time (CALENDAR TIME…)
They don’t knock on the doorbell (DON’T KNOCK…)
Or show up in dress (IN DRESS…)
They just arrive when it’s perfect (WHEN IT’S PERFECT…)
Not a second less (NOT A SECOND LESS…)
[BRIDGE – HALF-SPOKEN, echo trails]
You thought it was over (over…)
You thought it was done (done…)
But the drop just waited (waited…)
For the setting sun (SETTING SUN…)
[FINAL CHORUS – WHISPERED LINES, SPARSE GUITAR]
🎶 They drop when they’re ready (WHEN THEY’RE READY…)
No trumpet, no sign (NO SIGN…)
Like a page from the silence (FROM THE SILENCE…)
That says: now’s the time (NOW’S THE TIME…)
You don’t get to summon (DON’T SUMMON…)
You don’t get to choose (CAN’T CHOOSE…)
You just stand there and catch it (STAND AND CATCH IT…)
Before it slips through (SLIPS THROUGH…)
[OUTRO – INSTRUMENTAL FADE, ambient wind & whisper samples]
====================================================================
Song: Message in the Dust
[VERSE 1 – SOLO, dry echo on voice]
Found it in the dry wind (dry wind…)
Caught between the stones (the stones…)
Etched into the silence (the silence…)
Written in no known tones (no known tones…)
Not ink, not chalk, not fire (not fire…)
Just a shimmer and a crust (and a crust…)
But I saw it plain and steady
The message in the dust (IN THE DUST…)
[CHORUS – GHOST CHOIR REPLYING IN PHRASES]
🎶 It said: you’re not forgotten (NOT FORGOTTEN…)
Even if you roam (IF YOU ROAM…)
It said: the path is broken (PATH IS BROKEN…)
But you’ll still get home (STILL GET HOME…)
It said: keep on walking (KEEP ON WALKING…)
Even when you must (WHEN YOU MUST…)
The map ain’t in your pocket
It’s written in the dust (WRITTEN IN THE DUST…)
[VERSE 2 – SOLO WITH WHISPERED OVERLAY]
I tried to show it to someone (show it…)
But the wind took it back (took it…)
I reached for my camera (camera…)
But it vanished in the crack (vanished…)
So I etched it in my memory (memory…)
And I carried it like trust (like trust…)
The words that came to meet me
In the message in the dust (IN THE DUST…)
[CHORUS – CHOIR MORE PRESENT, ECHOES DOUBLING LINES]
🎶 It said: your doubt is holy (HOLY DOUBT…)
Your silence too (SILENCE TOO…)
It said: the sky won’t answer (WON’T ANSWER…)
But it still sees you (STILL SEES YOU…)
It said: this world is fleeting (WORLD IS FLEETING…)
So listen, if you must (IF YOU MUST…)
Don’t seek it in the thunder
It’s waiting in the dust (WAITING IN THE DUST…)
[BRIDGE – SPOKEN WHISPER OVER MUSIC, FAINT BACKING]
(“You will not know when the drop lands…
But when it does, you’ll remember you were there.”)
[FINAL CHORUS – LULLABY STYLE, FAINT GUITAR, HARMONY]
🎶 It said: no need to hurry (NO HURRY…)
No race to win (NO RACE…)
It said: you’re already standing (ALREADY THERE…)
Where it all begins (ALL BEGINS…)
The light won’t shout it loudly (NOT LOUDLY…)
The voice won’t break the crust (NOT THE CRUST…)
But it’s always there, just breathing
That message in the dust (MESSAGE IN THE DUST…)
[OUTRO – ECHO LAYERS, FADEOUT WHISPERS]
(“You are not forgotten…”)
(“Still get home…”)
(“Message… in the dust…”)
======================================================================
Right Planet Wrong Drop
[VERSE 1 – SOLO, slightly exasperated tone]
I was sittin’ real still, all tuned to the vibe
Waitin’ on a message from the cosmic tribe
Felt a shimmer in my crown, heard a pop in the sky
Thought it was divine—turns out, it was a guy named Ty.
[CHORUS – FULL CAST, call & response, mock-serious]
🎶 Wrong drop! (WRONG DROP!)
Right planet! (RIGHT PLANET!)
Now I’m tryin’ to decode it with a fork and a magnet
Was lookin’ for the truth, got a takeout menu
(“Free garlic bread with any order over ten,” too…)
[VERSE 2 – SOLO continues, deadpan delivery]
There were symbols and scribbles and a spiral shell
I thought it said “Awaken”—turns out it said “Dell.”
Then a voice in the static whispered “This is your test…”
But it was just some aliens doin’ sound check at best.
[CHORUS – FULL CAST, layering in with laughter]
🎶 Wrong drop! (WRONG DROP!)
But I caught it! (I CAUGHT IT!)
Now I’m journaling in tongues and my pen just fought it
It spelled “Beware the lion!” on a page of dust—
But it meant “Don’t microwave aluminum—trust.”
[BRIDGE – SLOW, DRAMATIC, CHANT-LIKE]
I called the oracle hotline…
I opened the Akashic line…
They said, “Oops—hold on, sir—
You got someone else’s sign.”
(It was for Rick in Ohio… not me.)
[VERSE 3 – SOLO, slightly more resigned]
So now I’m walkin’ around with a chicken bone staff
A colander helmet and a prophecy laugh
If I misunderstood it, well, it’s not a crime—
I still learned somethin’… just not in time.
[CHORUS – FULL CAST, GOSPEL ENERGY NOW]
🎶 Wrong drop! (WRONG DROP!)
New direction! (NEW DIRECTION!)
Every bad translation leads to some reflection
I asked for the way, got a backwards map—
But it still got me outta that mind-trap trap.
[OUTRO – SPOKEN OVER CHORDS, BIG SMILE]
So if the message don’t fit, just let it bend—
Sometimes the wrong drop… is your best godsend.
=======================================================================
Apocalypse Tonight!
=====================================================================
Is Trump the Antichrist?
The short answer: the odds that Trump is the Antichrist—as in the big scary one from Christian prophecy—are basically zero. But there’s a very good and reasonable reason that folks today are tossing it around. Let’s examine the situation:
What the Bible Actually Says:
The word “Antichrist” only shows up in the epistles of John (1 John and 2 John), and it refers to anyone who denies Christ or opposes him—not necessarily a single end-times villain. Revelation talks about beasts and false prophets, but doesn’t use the word “Antichrist.” A lot of modern theology has filled in gaps that aren’t in the original text.
Why People Mention Trump:
Some evangelical leaders have called him a “Cyrus” figure—chosen to lead despite his flaws. Others, particularly critics, throw the Antichrist label around as a kind of shorthand for “very bad man.” There have been headlines from The View, cable pundits, and TikTok prophets calling him that, often in jest or anger.
What Are the Actual Odds?
From a prophecy standpoint: he doesn’t match the usual profile of the Antichrist—no fake peace treaty — yet — and no world religion setup, no global control. From a theological standpoint: most scholars don’t take the idea of a single Antichrist literally. And from a political standpoint: it’s more of a spicy insult or meme than a serious accusation.
Bottom Line:
The idea’s in the air because emotions are high, and history is loud. But spiritually? Nah, Trump’s not the Antichrist. He might be someone’s personal nemesis, sure. But in the end-times playbook? He’s a weakling, a paper tiger. Not really in the running for the bigtime.
==========================================================================
This Ain’t the Antichrist!
===========================================================================
Actually this is the opening song in the next production, but it came through tonight, so I’m posting it — but remember, it’s from a different show — “Apocalypse Tonight!”. That’s a working title, don’t hold me to it.
===========================================================================
[VERSE 1 – SOLOIST, preacher voice with slow build]
I seen the signs, I read the scrolls (scrolls…)
The moon turned red, the thunder rolls (rolls…)
I checked the charts, I checked ’em twice (twice!)
But I don’t think that man’s the Antichrist! (NO WAY!)
[VERSE 2 – QUARTET, snappy, gossipy voices]
He’s loud, he’s proud, he tweets all night (all night!)
But Revelations says “worldwide might!” (AIN’T THAT RIGHT?)
He ain’t no beast with seven heads (no heads!)
Just orange skin and sleepy meds. (MMM-HMM!)
[CHORUS – FULL CAST, gospel swing, call & response]
🎶 Ain’t the Antichrist! (NO HE AIN’T!)
No matter what you say (WHAT YOU SAY!)
He didn’t ride in on Judgment Day! (OH NO WAY!)
No dragon crown, no beast parade—
Just lots of hats and cheap brocade! (CHEAP BROCADE!)
[VERSE 3 – SOLO, skeptical angel with sass]
The Antichrist’s supposed to charm (supposed to charm…)
With silky lies and zero harm (zero harm…)
This guy just yells and shuffles ‘round (shuffles ‘round…)
Can’t build a church—just fences down! (JUST FENCES DOWN!)
[BRIDGE – SLOW BURN, GOSPEL BREAKDOWN, call & echo]
🎶 He’s got a following, that’s true— (THAT’S TRUE…)
But not enough to split the moon in two. (IN TWO…)
He might divide the fam at dinner, (OH, LORD…)
But Armageddon? Nah—just a sinner. (JUST A SINNER!)
[CHORUS – FULL CAST, stomping beat, layered harmonies]
🎶 Ain’t the one! (AIN’T THE ONE!)
He’s just loud, not divine! (NOT DIVINE!)
Ain’t the one! (AIN’T THE ONE!)
No peace pact signed in Palestine! (STILL WAITIN’!)
Ain’t the one! (OH NO!)
No ten horns on his crown—
Just a tan that won’t go down! (CAN’T SCRUB IT OUT!)
[OUTRO – SOLOIST + FULL CHOIR, big swelling finish]
🎶 So calm your soul and check your facts (CHECK YOUR FACTS…)
Apocalypse don’t wear golf slacks. (NO SIR!)
Let’s save the fire, brimstone, and fright—
He ain’t the Antichrist…
He’s just…
A Twitter…
Poltergeiiiiiiist! 🎶
(POL-TER-GEIST!)
(music swells, spotlight freeze, heavenly reverb trails off…)
=====================================================================
Holy Moley, Batman! It’s the Bardo bus and we’re on our video safari!
