(“Crappy Collective Karma Happens Too Merit Badge”, 2014, original oil)
Release the criminal Even the convicted So they can offend again. Teach the child To doubt everything Their parents and cultural roots. Instill the fear Of a terrorist attack, Mass shooting or climate change. Encourage riots, street violence Race and ethnic and religious conflict So that there is no trust of others. Destroy the family unit Without civility and decency In absence of the sacred. Bring on the chaos In the name of hope and change ‘Till it all falls down. (9/2/26)
