People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ They know they are outnumbered ninety-nine to one. We, the larger number, say that nothing can be done. Is it something in the water, or perhaps in our food? Whatever it proves to be, it must be something good. Good for them, at least, but not for all […]
Wondering Why
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Looking at my art, trying to decide why views don’t become purchases, I realized something. I rarely include people in my art. I’ve known this, but it somehow became more starkly real. Frankly, I think the planet might be better off without us. I don’t know if this […]
Sans Us

Save us; you must.” Our planet would be better sans us. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Unite the World! ~~~~~ Please, leave […]
Only Me
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ How many lives have already passed buried, burned, dumped into the sea? Will their bones or ashes even matter? Their flesh consumed, returned earth.

Told I can’t breathe, my ticker’s bad, but they have what I need. […]

Thoughts and Feelings
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Thoughts of hope and disillusion lead to clarity and to confusion. Feelings of clarity and confusion lead to hope for some solution. Now a side calls for dissolution with violent means, a revolution. Revolution won’t be a solution with our uncontrolled pollution. While counter to our constitution they’d […]
To an Unsung Future
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ Let me write your name upon the sky So that everyone may remember you. Let me write your name upon the salt So you may season all our daily fare. Fair winds blow, whisper your name Softly into the ears of infant children. Where animals meet in their […]
We Are Not Quick
People Over Politics, World Over Wealth! ~~~~~ When did I lose the songs of the mother earth? Or were they buried beneath noise long before? Before my birth, this birth, though perhaps There was a time when I and all could hear them. Maybe only one could not hear and determined that if he could […]
