Believe Exhausted
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The body of the cosmos pirouettes. Do you feel dizzy or nauseated?

Where or When?
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ I come running down the stairs wondering who has come to my door. What’s in store? Today a day like no other. What will I find? Who? I suppose it might be you. What joy and laughter will share out upon the greensward. We can picnic and […]

Aftermath
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Ships sail through the harbor and the crowd cheers, though they know they are on their way to war and death and pain.

The Life Of Warmth
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The night walks through the bazaar, carrying jewels in their wrap, trailing veils. Who knows whose lights are represented? Is one of them Sol the name we have given? But what name does any sun claim as their own? Do we need such a true name in […]
