art and other information

 

I keep trying to tell people that guns

are not that good for self-defense and

more likely make one feel falsely secure

rather than doing what will actually

keep you (and others) safe

 

 

 

 

 

On such a precarious edge

All we can do not to fall off

How can we possibly take, accommodate,

radical change?

 

 

 

Golden moments

gathered in eternal souls

beautiful bindings tether us whole

warm heart, breath

calm stinging cold, help us

journey toward hope's reward.

 

 

 

I'm dealing with the pain

-- not my pain, the pain

right now we coexist

so I have to deal with it

like any obnoxious roommate.

 

 

 

People for the most part do not

vote based on sensible argument

We vote based on emotion.

 

 

 

See all these desperate people

dying to be free

screaming for liberation,

for basic humane recognition,

respect.  For self-actualized life,

privacy, space to be outside society,

to become who we are.

See scaffolding of social identity

as rational philosophy, community

self-rule.  We who know our own

relationships, our own rituals and

histories, we whose vested interests

resist most loudly, persits above and

beyond this moment's hysteria.

Addicted to fear, what if it's scarier

to stay caught in unbearable reality?

Where is your tie to mortality when

all is eternally merely nearly dead,

good and bad defined by dire greed

of insane fools and their predators?

 

 

 

I do hope my social

is of benefit to others.

It gives my time some strucutre,

distracts from tedious discomforts.

 

 

 

A civilized society is one

where by deafult

we treat each other well.
