The Lotus Notice

The Lotus Notice A new age emerging It's begun It's overtime for the strong man's run A new 2000 years Aquarian dreams and reasoned fears Let Venus stop our wars Just let the lotus lead Pride and lies seed make believe Just let the lotus lead Just let the lotus lead We can't take much more human fleas Just let the lotus lead Day siezed It's power versus force A polar dual we can forget at not much loss Move into truth trinity You're not a saint nor a sinner It's to infinity We're all always beginners And always winners Take pride and say Let the lotus notice new day Compose a purer refrain Let the lotus notice new day Take pride and say Let the lotus notice new day Let the lotus notice new day 23 June 2026 A song which had it's origins in politics. I rewrote it today to take that weakness out of it and retain the universal societal metaphor of peace through the mythological character Venus and the unbiased lotus flower. This is a good lesson for me in why we should leave names out of art. Names and ideas expire, yet it's our values and the foundation of our morals that evolve through our new experences. Names limit that to the closed set of ideas associated with that person, time and perspective. Universal art tries to get to the heart of existence and social affairs so that's what I've attempted to change about this 🪷 When I wrote it at first I was attempting to empower a character I thought was important for us all but I think I now realise that darker times become a reference for us to get better. So even if we may have avoided some overall pain, maybe we need this period of ignorance to show the next generation a bottom and give them that proper reference of how we can build a better society and which role models we want to help us get there to help humanity flourish ☀️ So the lotus metaphor is now just the flower, being a flower and part of nature without imposing itself on anything. It's not telling us what to do, it's just showing us how it is and how we could just 'be' at one with nature like that flower is if we start wanting that and appreciating this planet and all of its amazing niches properly. The lotus flower can't do that by itself but it can do it's bit to bring peace closer. Just like we can, each of us being a human flower. Star wars makes it in there again too. I kept that bit. Life is a force and we have the power to manipulate it. Our reactivity to the foundation of our knowledge dictates how we choose to manipulate it for good or for bad but the force is always there whether we exist or not. We just happen be here now and have the power of choice. Our choices are what allow us flow with or against that force ⚡ Are we The Jedi or are we The Sith... Looooove getting Star Wars in there 😆🤓🎶♾️ Thanks music Disclaimer: Take everything everyone says with a pinch of salt. We don't get stuck in belief if we do that (including this disclaimer). We literally learn something new everyday until we die and that's a beautiful thing if we don't block that possibility with dogmatism. Maybe the most important thing I learn all the time is how much I was wrong. That's called growth. All art, songs, movies, documentaries, books, databases, podcasts reflect the last time they were updated.Can we know what's come to light since that opinion was shared without a new conversation. Even if the intention is founded in honesty at the time, the truth evolves with all new perspective and gets brighter and brighter. Only the future knows how I will see this is another two years. Here's to finding out ♾️ 🧂 If you are intrigued by the word play. 'Notice' used to be 'Potus'. So removing that reference opened the door for moving the metaphor to life instead of politics. It's a very interesting practice actually, changing the meaning of an established song. It was surprisingly easy in this case as once the metric and rhythm is there not a huge amount has to be changed to divert the meaning away from a particular direction
