Fallen Silent

Or Not ~ old, but to honor EM’s murder of a bird

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ X marks the spot, cross your heart, hope to die. Swear it’s here where your ex was, or was not. Your ex, until he or she got burned, was cross. Cross the street and join me, make no excuse. Tightly woven patterns, some might be of use. Can […]

Infusion for Confusion

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ Earth Crown 4 Religion but a pseudosolution, might require us to make a dilution.

We can choose to be specks living in harmony, or war forever, never quit. Choose, the former or latter. Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Unite the […]

Pardon My Confusion

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ We are safely off the grid, away from patrols. Powerful people hate us beyond their control. We are living underground or hidden, at least.
