Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required (“Under a Swirling Sky”, 2013, original pen and ink and acrylic) Wives Tales and Molehills We live in age of mediocrity When the average And even below average is celebrated. Yet like in any age there is greatness, And yet this greatness is disparaged as elite And privileged and the product of systemic supremacy. But much of what is disparaged is inherited wisdom, Traditional knowledge and the legacy of Technological innovation we all enjoy Without understanding Or increasingly, even appreciating. Yet even in all this Occasionally an individual rises above the rest To lead by example and inspire as a beacon. And inevitably their greatness is diminished By everything from slander to assassination With conspiracy theories whispered and spread To bring them down To the merely mortal, the common, The tainted, just like us. And in the end we get confused About their greatness Or even existence of greatness itself. Maybe we fear the truly great are not like us And so not able to guide and inspire Those who are clearly less than. Maybe we fear their obvious greatness Just goes to show All men are actually not equal And so again not able to guide and inspire Those of us who crave equality. The result is the mediocrity Of mountains made into molehills Fueled by old wive’s tales Of envy and deceit Into a kind of New Age flat earth cosmology. No one can be better and special of course If we are all meant to be special, Which is what our heart tells us must be true. And if we are all special Then no one is. (9/13/25)
