Beautiful Theories

Every crisis becomes a religion. It’s inevitable. Especially if it lasts long enough. One factor in that transformation is the “Beautiful Theory” phenomenon. This is the phenomenon where those who sell news team up with those who seek to lead others and insist some remedy is urgently needed and politically correct — so it MUST […]

Land of the Free and the Brave?

There was once an old lady who swallowed a fly,And became so terrified that she surely would die!See, she lived in a country overrun by these pestsAnd… well, I think you may recall the rest? Now we live in a world overrun by a bug;So … we lockdowned ourselves and outlawed all family hugs.And then […]

Fear Dissolves Freedom

The death of freedom is not ushered in with a somber requiem, but rather celebrated with all the fanfare and bellicose applause of a stadium thronged with frightened madmen. We have seen firsthand that fear dilutes the senses, pollutes the mind, and corrupts the sensibilities of all it touches; fear, not hate, has turned man […]

You should wear masks in the sunYou should wear them when you runYou should wear one before you eatAnd wear three on the toilet seat Wear a mask when you are here;And wear a mask before you’re there.You should wear your mask everywhere! You should wear a mask in the carYou must wear a mask […]

Vaccination Passports: The Only Way Out

I’m terrified! And for good reasons why:We’re all living in a global epidemic!But it’s now clear how to purge our fear—Yet some believe “freedom” is systemic. There are certain times we must rewindThe clock to days of yesteryear;We must all scream: “take your vaccine!”Else the whole world will stay in fear. Put your mask on […]

Trust in Sununu (a Poem)

The drums are all beat, declaring defeat, before the army might have won. And those who embark to live in the dark see shadows where there are none. Light begets light, and a pale truth of right shall always be what remains;Yet dismal masses in fear always are near And force the righteous gleam to wain. […]

Stay Home, Save Lives

Left alone, in my home, I’m out of harm’s way.Dangers of this world won’t get me today.Left alone, in my home, I’ll surely survive.There’s not a thing I won’t do to keep me alive. The world’s now so dark—with despair and disease!I’m safe here. Protected. I feel more at ease.I’ve tv here, and Zoom calls; FaceTime […]

2020: In Pursuit of Life (a Poem)

Wise men once asked ‘what good a man gain the whole world but lose his own soul…’Might he sacrifice all that he loves to attain some nebulous goal?For what tragic fool seeking LIFE would trade family, freedom, and song? Would seeking some ‘right,’ at all costs, engender more wrong? By this token, what purpose hath […]

The Tale of Two Brothers

There once lived two brothers named Dante and Peter. They were orphaned fairly young where they lived, just outside a small remote village far, far away. Dante was the younger brother and had bright eyes; Peter, the elder, had a timid spirit but a warm heart. They were the best of friends and kindred spirits. […]

A False Dichotomy: Caused by Human Hubris

The false dichotomy of this election representing “good vs evil” has come up repeatedly in many/most of the political discussions I’ve had on fb recently. I assert this false binary occurs for three reasons: A) a failure to see a beyond stark black/white options we have created in our minds, b) the result of the […]
