The Waveries

Fredric Brown (October 29, 1906 – March 11, 1972) was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of 1 to 3 pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", was adapted to a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek.

Down by the shoreline
Where the sun bleeds into blue 
Well I took my dark glasses off 
To get a better view

And beneath this beauty and rebirth 
Of Father Sky and Mother Earth 
Epiphany transformed my mirth 
With a vision clear and true

And all you do will circle back in time 
And karma always seems to find the lie 
And all you do will circle back in time 
Denial is the prison of the mind

Down by the shoreline
Where the sun bleeds into blue 
Well I took my dark glasses off 
To get a better view

The children dancing in the sand 
Doomed to suffer at the hands 
Of UV light intensified
By the ozone vandalized

The dolphins beaching on the shore 
Of tar soaked terrapins, glass and gore 
As corals bleaching, sick and nude 
Succumb to waves of crude

And all you do will circle back in time 
And karma always seems to find the lie 
And all you do will circle back in time 
Denial is the prison of the mind

Please take me away from here
To my couch, television and my beer
I smile with my half-closed eyes
While my government will proselytize 
On how there is nothing we should fear 
And gives us the "all clear"

Down by the shoreline
Where the sun bleeds into blue
The children grabbed me by the hand 
And pulled my head out of the sand 
Their destiny my firebrand
My vision clear and true
