With open mouth and open mind,
I came into the world to find
Life's riddle in one word defined,
BELIEVE!
And now, that Life is left behind,
Although I know they would be kind,
With open mouth and open mind,
I LEAVE!

"I build my house on nothing, therefore the whole world is mine."

If We Don't Demand a Return to Democratic Government Now, It May Be Lost Forever! There are those who either accept what the Government chooses to tell them, or who choose to do nothing about it. Doing nothing is a choice. It means that you are willing to allow the Government to do whatever it wishes without any consideration for the consequences. You are giving it your permission to spy, torture, and murder innocent civilians, including American citizens. Do you really want to be guilty of that?

What Else But Madness America seems to be adicted to murder. Is it any wonder considering our history. From the genocide of Native Americans to murder of millions of innocent men women and children by our military, murder is condoned.

Portrait of America Portrait of America draws an anology between Norman Rockwell's painting of The Freedom of Speech and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. While the picture of Gray grows old and uggly hidden away, the person has retained his youth and features. While the portrait of America grows old and ugly, hidden in the closet of our minds, we continue to see ourselves as both youthful and virtuous.

Look To the Mirror It is difficult to understand how, after each of these insane shootings, we find Pundits, Preachers, Psychologists and Psychiatrists failing to realize that although they may correctly conclude that the perpetrator was of unsound mind, they seem not to recognize that he is a victim of a Neurotic Society.

Am I insane? Or... INSANITY, a poem designed to enable that minority who finds the courage to truly disapprove of war that it is not they who are out of step with humanity and there-by insane. It is a fear ridden majority of humanity that has fallen victim to the strategically induced paranoia that allows the evil ones to maintain a state of perpetual war who are indeed insane.
