With Blinders
I know lots of liberals who can’t seem to grasp
That they are in fact the fascists
Because they know they are of the Left
And fascists are of course of the Right.
These liberals I know are all smart,
Smarter than average, smarter than me,
But they are wrong about what fascism is
As they are wrong about many things.
But just

You can't forget what you can't destroy
Rip the sheets of comfort of their privileged bodies
Let the cold hit their skin
To feel the harsh reality of life
Fed with safety and security
No longer will they be coddled by warmth
Whiteness will not save you
Your evil will be put to shame
Your secrets pushed into the spotlight
Pandering will not be allowed
We are tired of

Big Blue Cow
I saw her in a meadow high
Where red flowers touch the sky
Her eyes were mournful, so much inside
I looked within, skepticism died
(chorus)
I'm in love with a big blue cow
And a big blue cow loves me
She don't have a job, but she survives
Without that college degree
She don't take drugs, and she don't drink
We agree about politics,

Do not go gentle into the totalitarian night
Do not go gentle into that totalitarian night
They lured you in with the promise of a new day
Rage against their deception, and for freedom's light
From a stagnant pool, you jumped into a river of no return
They said the new would rise, the old could burn
Swim against their current, rage against their tide
Face the mistake you

Ernie won't bite
I walked in Draper Park
Saw a family at a table, heard a dog bark
"Ernie's friendly," said the Mommy, "he won't bite"
A large goofy dog came at me, seemed alright.
Ernie growled, maybe because I smelled of beer
Or maybe because I didn't let him sniff my rear
But in Ernie's genes, a wolf pack in the night
from pet

What have we done to Generation Z?
What have we done to Generation Z?
Left them huge debts, who could break free?
Inflated the currency, raised every price
If you like your kids, how was that nice?
Playgrounds turned into pixelated parks,
Teens regret childhood chats with faceless sharks.
Images seen, can't be unseen,
Can purity's acorn yet grow clean?
So many teachers indoctrinate
But they forget their job

Soul River
Lemmings run in tunnels deep,
The obsessed won't let the phantoms sleep,
But I can't stampede with brainwashed sheep,
I plunged into the soul river.
Leaving the crowd was hard to do
My heart, deceived, believed it knew,
But I left the comfort zone, joined the few.
And plunged into the soul river.
I entered the heart of the silent night,
Where

The Lie of Equality and Truth of Universality
("Niobe's Tear", 2020, original encaustic)
The Lie of Equality and Truth of Universality
The world has always been divided
Along lines of haves and have nots
In whatever way you wish
To measure the having.
The difference today is
Inequality is no longer acceptable.
But since it clearly exists - empirically
In whatever way you measure -
And since one of those measures
Is the

Indoctrination
If you accept any accurate or misinformation,
without doing any research and without question,
then you are a victim of ignorant thinking,
making you a very good candidate for indoctrination,
with very little hope of ever deprograming,
rendering you helpless to any independent thinking.

Future
Go to sleep now.
.
.
.
And when you awake you will find
A new world, with new desires
New feelings, new beliefs and new joys
You will experience a sense of total satisfaction
Acceptance, and sureness of yourself
No more pain and need and disappointment
Only gentle bliss.
But that makes me less
That steals away my humanity, my comparisons
My decisions; even my mistakes.
You

The Dark Side of Humanity
Lost in a desperate mind world
Seeking a sense of community
and a need to belong
through an innate desire to be whole again.
But confused…
The path nebulous.
And through indoctrination
either directly or unintentionally
or perhaps inadvertently
harboring a vision that individuality is the answer
through a desire to see and “find oneself”
but left with only a false mirrored reflection
of who one really

Pandora's Box
Pandora has a big black box.
Woe the day she turns on FOX.
May she then begin again
and turn the switch to CNN,
or better still, to the BBC.
While hope remains
all shadows flee.

Don'T Send Your Kids To College
They all put so much stress on
getting a college degree,
and if it’s math or science,
I think that I would agree.
But in the humanities
another trend now appears,
kids are taught to hate themselves,
and this is reason for fear.
Instead of the great questions,
they’re taught to obsess on race,
and disparage great thinkers
who have the ‘wrong’-colored face.
Instead of human nature
they’re

Indoctrination
There has always been war, there will always be war.
There has always been scarcity, there will always be poor.
There will never be world peace, there will always be hate and criminality.
If you believe any or all of the above, you've been indoctrinated heavily.
If you don't think we can change the world for the better, that
