Love is All
Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ……… Love is All ~~ Ancient before time, impenetrable void waited. Crawled from its atomic shell; instantaneous illumination flared. Newborn this moment. A swirling figure moves, is every moment. Innocently wise, hopeful, in constant conflict. Cooperation in every interchange. Full of wonder, every […]

Nor Does It
~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ……… Nor Does It ~ When every action taken, Word spoken, song sung, Picture painted or snapped Dance choreographed, performed Structure designed, built, Torn down, replaced, Left to nature, Music composed, Tale written, told, Every moment Remembered or lost, In deeps […]

Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ……… Can You?

All Our Tracks
Trumpery is Reality Our people must be one. Chaos must be won. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let there be no dancing tomorrow No music and no joy Let love slide down the sewer drain With hatred its envoy Speak no truth, seek no understanding Huddle outside in fear Seek the wild and lonely places Whether far or near […]

In the Wake of the Storm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength; Trumpery is Reality” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now, we’re told this contretemps is done Some are really happy, some have no fun I counsel, this is a time we must be kind Your point was proved or lost your mind In the winner’s circle, on the pile, […]
That is All
“War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength; Trumpery is Reality” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The multitude of ways we dream our hope Some near, some distant, need a telescope A wish fulfilled, but not for what we pined Spend years so depressed, out of our mind Will we start to understand which is which?
