What a vast panoply […]

Each Moment

~~~~~ ~~~~~ We must learn to speak up andto speak clearly if we want ourideas to be heard. I imagine anysymphony, its hundreds of notesmashed together until they haveno meaning.

That Depiction

Another Fight

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The procession marches through the city. A solo horn sounds. Yet, life abounds around the moments death has claimed. Children play in the park.
