Galvanizing, never scrutinized; each moment falsely tabulated; Slanted, polarized polls, punishing spiteful pundits Spouting, spinning lies in frantic unison squawking Ridiculous versions of fear mongering tales, Meant to frighten, meant to hurt, Meant to clutch and pulverize power. It takes only a calm, rational thinking moment To see through the maze of their foggy logic. Nothing they say is fact checked or based...

It’s pretty easy to write hysterical headlines; News flash; everyone is going to die! And yet, it’s just as easy to spin it elseways; News flash; everyone is alive! But the known is not news While the possible is, possibly And the hysterical sells, definitely Somewhere in our human nature We are wired to project the worst As we plan for the best Flipping the...

In the end It’s not the lying that matters Since that’s what senses And people do It’s the believing That will get you...

("The Cave of Unknowing", 2012, original oil) Live Free or Die Live free or die! Well, we’re all gonna die, But living and dying free Is obviously the way to go. Freedom of speech May be the root of all our freedoms But it’s meaningless If all we can do is parrot others. Look around The night sky is daylight bright now From all the gaslighting we...

I followed another rabbit hole this morning and stumbled upon this article from ‘The Atlantic. I won’t give you the author’s name, though I’m sure a quick search on google would reveal it.

Weaselly words deftly ply their sly stench, As they undo the truth nut with a wrench, With half-truths, errors and fake news woven Into a spider's web of lies, stolen. The cloak of vagueness and doubt created, Is stained, defaced with deceit, dictated. To veil intentions with twisted meaning, Camouflaged in patch-ups so demeaning. Weaselly words, so cunningly devised, Mask the truth so despised,...

Ha, Ha, Ha. Hee, Hee, Hee, Hee False Laughter, And forced jollity. Anything false or fake. I dislike, And find it hard to take, Where is the truth hidden, Is it locked up somewhere? Forbidden, For all to share, Why hide the truth, That's not fair. Fairness, where is that today, Fakeness has got in the way, Oy Vey! Dismal indeed, How we all need, Some truth and laughter, Back in our lives, So we...

We, the human race are destroying, our only place by cutting down, our life filters and becoming, the human killers We build, with concrete jungles causing us, to huddle in bubbles while turning the sky, into a fry with our smoke, that can only choke We breed, like a petri-dish and we kill, so many fish while filtering poison, into our waterways and allowing plastics, to...
