Love Is Alive

love is alive
everything else is dead

Beastly Training

heavy burdens and beatings
sit on the the backs
of the jack asses and donkeys
who are abused

generals and princes sit on the backs
of arabians and quarter horses
who are refined

what did your parents expect of you?
and how were you treated?

those who treated you as an ass
have little right to expect you to carry princes
their hope is ignorant and vain

likewise
those who raised you to be an arabian
have little right to expect you to carry heavy loads
their hope is incorrect

• what are we?
• how have we been treated?
• what have we become?
• what will it take to change?

Merry Christmas

peace on earth to men of good will

in order to truly love your neighbor
you must first understand him
in order to truly understand your neighbor
you must first love him

either way
whatever it is you are willing to do first

understand or love

i hope that the other will soon follow

same goes for women

merry christmas

4,000 Killed, $1.6 Trillion Debt

Let's see:

Question?

Who is $1.6 Trillion richer?

You? ...Me?

no ... as I see it ... we are $1.6 poorer.

Those who are $1.6 Trillion richer are stronger, happier, wiser and in a better position today to create even more wars to insure their earnings.

Those who are $1.6 Trillion poorer are weaker, sadder and as ignorant as we were before believing the propaganda about terrorism. Shackled in greater fear and we readily escape through entertainment, media and consumerism.
