Wisdom’s Water is Now Available on Music Streaming Services

Hello everyone,

Wisdom’s Water, a creative endeavor between me and the AI Music Engine, Suno, is now available on Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Spotify.

The work appears under the artist profile “Sapient Rain.”

The lyrics on Wisdom’s Water come from poems I’ve written and published over the last few years, and center around themes of religion, violence in America, civic responsibility, and the fragility of democratic ideals.

The music is generated by Suno and adds a second consciousness to the collaboration, shifting from atmospheric tension to rhythmic urgency, mirroring the political and social turbulence the album explores.

I had a lot of fun crafting the lyrics and working with Suno to select the musical score for my poetry.

I’m inspired by all the artists and citizens who are speaking out and protesting in defense of our democracy. I believe this album will resonate with anyone concerned about the troubling direction in which our country is heading under Donald Trump’s fascist regime.

Not all of the songs on Wisdom’s Water are protest songs, but many are. I hope you download, stream, and share them with friends and family. And I hope you enjoy listening to them!

And finally, look for my second collaboration with Suno, titled Wounded, which will be available on streaming services on February 26th, 2026.

From Maine to Minnesota Available on Music Streaming Services Today

Check out “From Maine to Minnesota,” my collaboration with AI Music Generator Suno, available on Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Spotify today.

From Maine to Minnesota

Miller’s hate
is at the gate
with ray-bans and zip ties
their fascist heart
a devil’s dart
aimed at the civilized

Masked men with guns
behave like Huns
to meet Millers ugly quota
they brutalize and terrorize
from Maine to Minnesota

A bloated king
doles out their bling
they ask me for my papers
I scream bells will toll
and heads will roll
for pedophiles and rapers

Full mags and clips
they carry chips
of grievance on their shoulder
the hateful raids
of ice brigades
turn citizens to soldiers

We’re all bereaved
its hard to breathe
with black boots on our neck
our blood congeals
they make you kneel
their violence goes unchecked

A bloated king
doles out their bling
they ask me for my papers
I scream bells will toll
and heads will roll
for pedophiles and rapers

Get in their way
they’ll pepper spray
and push you to the ground
You have no say, in the USA
when Ice Men are around

We fight for Alex Pretti
We fight for Renee Good
We fight against oppressors
and for the common good

A bloated king
doles out their bling
they ask me for my papers
I scream bells will toll
and heads will roll
for pedophiles and rapers

My AI Music Collaboration is Coming to Spotify

Wisdom’s Water flows like a charged, poetic current—an album born at the intersection of human conviction and machine‑driven imagination. Across 13 tracks, it traces America’s ongoing struggle with mass shootings, social media, and its perilous drift toward authoritarianism. The project doesn’t preach; it witnesses, questions, warns, and ultimately affirms the resilience of a people determined to hold on to their freedoms.

At the heart of the album is the creative partnership between human and AI. The lyrical voice comes from published poet and author Geoffrey Reilly, writing as Sapient Rain, whose language carries the weight of lived experience and the clarity of someone who has spent years studying the fractures and triumphs of the American story. His words—sharp, reflective, and emotionally charged—become the guiding current that shapes the album’s thematic arc.

The music, generated through the AI music engine Suno, adds a second consciousness to the collaboration. Its sonic landscapes shift from atmospheric tension to rhythmic urgency, mirroring the political and social turbulence the album explores. Rather than replacing the human element, the AI becomes a creative amplifier, transforming Sapient Rain’s imagery into immersive soundscapes that feel deeply rooted in the present moment.

Each track becomes a meditation on violence in America, civic responsibility, collective memory, and the fragility of democratic ideals. The album’s title, Wisdom’s Water, evokes the idea that clarity—like water—can cut through stone, nourish communities, and reveal truths that power often tries to bury.

Spread the word – Protect Democracy.

America, Don’t Get Strung Along

You can judge a nation’s greatness by how it treats the marginalized in its communities and by whether it encourages kindness, tolerance, education,
and scientific expertise. When America excels at these things, we are indeed a great nation. Under Trump, we are objectively regressing in every one of these areas, and today, many American citizens are afraid of their government, which is a tell-tale sign that we are drifting towards authoritarianism.

Justice for Renee Good.

Music by Suno, Lyrics by Me

The Fellowship of Fascism and Oligarchy

Fascism and Oligarchy are familiar bedfellows that share several structural similarities, including the concentration of power, the suppression of dissent, the prioritization of ruling-class interests, and the erosion of democratic norms.

The repressive effect of fascism and oligarchy on citizens includes loss of political voice, economic inequality, reduced civil liberties, and social polarization. Horrifyingly, we’re seeing the effects of fascism and oligarchy in America today.

I understand the cynicism Americans feel around politics — and it is totally justified. But, to effectively fight the spread of fascism and oligarchy, we MUST participate in democratic processes, even when they feel imperfect. So, educate yourselves (and others), build cross-community solidarity, push for structural reforms, and stay connected and refuse isolation.

Pandora’s Vox

As the potential benefits and dangers of AI swirl around us in a maelstrom of fantastical headlines, social media posts, and academic articles, the social, technological, and economic landscape of the world depends on the ethics and morality of today’s gatekeepers in government and industry, and that should scare the fuck out of all of us.

We’re heading for a bleak future if an unregulated, callous first-to-market ethos, devoid of guardrails and ethics, drives the development and deployment of AI.
