If you have been paying attention, you know that my overall advice in this capitalistic society has always been buyer beware! I speak constantly and clearly about the sickness of greed that destroys or denigrates everything it comes into contact with. There are sadly no aspects of life that remain untouched by this disease. This evil erodes any sense of good moral character. Suddenly the financial ends justify an intention of correct judgment.

The fanciful flowers spoke in whispers to the visiting butterflies of things yet to come. The butterflies informed the graceful birds in passing, who told the cherries and plums. The babbling brook spoke of it to the thirsty animals who came to drink her waters. It was the foxes who warned the mighty bear clan to secure their sons and daughters.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most confused of all? An unrecognized glance and by chance we are doomed to fall. A shared affliction of non-recognition and mistaken identity, When the human condition confuses rendition for a completely separate entity.

What is more valuable than the human, who imparts value to everything under the sun? How bewitched we must be to have eyes that don’t see the priceless power of life begun. No sparkly trinkets or acquiescence of such will add worth to a hardened heart or tainted soul. A mentally and spiritually battered population soon flees from its humanity to join the material fold.

The darkness envelops me as I sit here alone.  The cold stillness of this night seems all my own.  Deep within myself I search and find an oddity.  In a place so crowded, I'm all alone...just me! 

  Pain accompanies me from the very moment I awake  So I move with intent like the shark; constantly toward fate  Afraid to ever let the world see a smile cross my face  Constantly falling while dreaming of a much safer place
