Perhaps We Should Ask Ourselves: Why 74 Million Voted For Such A Vile Human Being?

Perhaps We Should Ask Ourselves:  Why 74 Million Voted For Such A Vile Human Being

Or...  let ss ask ourselves:   Why one half of the country felt it wiser to vote for a vile individual than allow a progressive ethos rise from the left_

Perception is everything!
         And both sides have failed miserably 
         While marketing and promoting their product
 
If Democrats do not understand why
          The votes were not overwhelmingly theirs
          Then they are fools__
 
If Republicans continue to allow 'Trumpers' or Militia Members'
          To do their speaking for them
          Then they are fools as well__
 
 
Perception is everything__
 
Your truth has no bearing if the visual
If the visual you are unable to control
Is contrary to your ethos
 
If you cannot curtail or denounce 
The factions who claim your allegiance 
On your television sets, social media, or the press  
Or shout:  "This is not who or what we are!"
You will then lose your right
To claim the moral high-ground
 
For there are no morals
That will legitimize
What your nations' cities streets portray
While violence, destruction and death occurs
Under the breaths 
Of both left and right extremists.    
 
Both the Far Left and Far Right have grown to be 
Pathetic embarrassments in the worlds eyes

I'm sorry_ 
But I am only an artist:
However small or insignificant I might be_
But an artist nevertheless 
Who has dedicated his life 
To entertain, soothe, enlighten, inspire-
Perhaps educate_ 
For what I have lived, might serve some purpose 
Some good_  some light,  to others
 
For I have grown so very tired
Of watching so many of you slide further and further 
From the practice of:  kindness, love and compassion
 
Posting rants of such ignorant baseless stories and memes.
Spewing dangerous negativity  
Unwittingly creating a most ominous sent _
Tragically familiar to the ones who know their history_ 
Conjuring images from the darkest days of America's failures   
 
(1860-1865)
 
When Art, Music, Literature, Religion, Spirituality no longer
Lifts ones society to a higher plain of peaceful social discourse
Moral obligation or Judicial balance to maintain a light in humanity
 
_When the 'Arts' rant of hatred and killing
Or when religion and it's spiritual leaders guide their flocks 
To the perils of autonomous individualism 
Opposing their own government_
The very government who bestowed their privileges 
Their very right to practice their faith without reprisal  
 
Our youth pursue failed philosophies   
Based upon sociopolitical theories so contrary
To what the 'the world's natural laws of civilizations' flourish within
Blindly following radicalized teachers, clergy, parents and false idols
Hoping that within their misguided cultural upheaval 
They will find the answers for their nations future

For when all fails 
Will this nation return to the same violence
That has plagued legendary civilizations 
Before their tragic demise?
 
If you cannot answer these questions_ 
Then_  you are nearing a very dark time....
 
This is not the America I once knew......

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we lose our freedoms it will be because we have destroyed ourselves from within."
                                                                                                     Abraham Lincoln

They Come, Because We Hire Them

We hire them!  This is why they come...   A considerable number of American business owners operate their companies while paying wages set 40 years ago, maintaining archaic working conditions and illegal hiring practices under the noses of State and Federal watch-dogs who are paid to look the other way.   In result, the American population has learned full well_  that the American dream will not be obtained by working for these rogue American businesses.        In result, these businesses must pursue foreign born employees from hungry, persecuted and embattled countries.    For they are the only people willing to work under such demeaning circumstances.    THE REALITY We are the United States.  The greatest nation on earth, the wealthiest most secure most advanced and most charitable country the world has ever known.  Therefore, we have been labeled the most compassionate most caring nation on earth.  But are we really? There is no one else to blame for the U.S.-Mexico border cr

My fellow Artists__ Let Your Art Be The Change You Want The World To Be

Image
I appeal to my fellow Artists around the world on this New Years Eve 2022_   I challenge all of you to 'Be The Change' to 'Inspire Change' to promote Love, Humanity and Compassion and to join our inherent 'Collective Obligation' as artists to serve all in need upon this earth_  We are the progressives, the liberal idealistic minds that inspire advocacy and change, propelling humankind's ascension to a more sophisticated truth, justice and morality__ With this, I challenge my Artistic colleagues to abandon the mediums that reflect the darkness without solutions.   For too long, we have been Interpreting the ugly without offering answers, imitating the immoral without offering truth, we sensationalize the murderous which only propels further prejudice, hate and tribalism that you we have had to live through for so long. If we continue to do this within our Artistic ventures, we are simply regurgitating__ re-living the same darkness our opponents embrace

Peace Will Not be Found In Violence

Image
Peace Is Not Found In Violence  In 1968, anarchists infiltrated the Peaceful Counter Culture movement, as did The Weathermen, SLA, militant Black Power chapters, Red Brigade (and others) which created a devastating implosion within an inspired progressive humanitarian movement: an off shoot from the Freedom Riders and  Civil Rights movements.   A transcendental peace movement that had achieved so much, fell victim to the radical militant left and a liberated drug culture that numbed the senses of an emboldened generation, which suffered a slow and dishonorable death in the 1970s.    What ever the 'Love and Peace' movements might have ignited in the hearts of the masses of idealistic progressive souls in America__ soon became a distant memory, a novelty, a forgotten hope.     Pranking the system gets a little too real in 1960s New York City These photos of the radical Left riot in Grand Central show Yippies and cops squaring off   The picture above is a famous press release
