Global Intifada

(“Creation Myth Merit Badge”, 2016, original oil) Global Intifada Everywhere you look today the world is burning Or is a dried out husk waiting to spark. It’s a self proclaimed global intifada after all, Sweeping like a plague across hearts and minds. But what exactly is this resistance all about anyway? Inquiring minds want to know. In a nutshell; change, as the world continues, As it always has, to spin beyond our control. The irony being those calling for a revolution Really just want the world to stop being out of their control. Stop and go back on track To some idealized path, to some idealized goal. While meanwhile the world just continues To turn and burn in endless creative destruction. Each of us a bit of tinder to fuel the fires To temper the steel with which to forge our future. (6/12/25)
