Urban Predators Speak Out

  July – Dramatic Change Due and Coming Struggling through the anti-social jungle of asphalt and concrete, one can sense the growing helpless, hopeless despair fueling current hidden mistrust and fear of tomorrow unmet wants. Thus, the aftermath of hoarding greed and the self-absorbed need for immediate gratification is not rocket science; it’s simply the inevitable consequences of unchecked economic pursuits turning individuals into lions, tigers, and bears lurking in the shadows for expendable lambs, innocent blood to exploit and sacrificially spill. As being exemplified in Gaza, Ukraine, and Rwanda:   Genocidal acts are flourishing as the spread of capitalist-driven dictatorships endeavor to secure positions within an ever-centralizing global economy. Under such dark circumstances, it’s important to look up to the evening sky where, regardless of the pressing moments of anguish and despair, sprinkled to shine throughout the night, there are STARS! Beacons of light giv...

  What did you Do Whether one believes and accepts it or not; we have been gifted, more so blessed with imbedded talents and skills to achieve and fulfill what many call some preordained destiny. Thus, we each have both the right, and the obligation, to coexist while pursuing that which would provide individual meaning and purpose. The very bible not only instructs us to “Be Fruitful and Multiply” but was referenced when this country’s founding fathers, asserting as self-evident, that all men are created equal, went on to coin the term “Inalienable Rights” to mean God given birthrights assuring “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” for all of earth’s inhabitants: Regardless of what legal guides man may seek to instill thereafter. So important “WAS” the thought that they went on to say, “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends (as currently being witnessed), it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish” what powers be and “institute a new gov...

  Voices in the Wilderness Fellow artists, blessed and gifted with talents and opportunities to be yet another historic voice in the wilderness crying out for justice to be made manifest; may our weapons of choice be sharpened to be heeded and heart felt. May our work’s, howsoever small but still flickering, become beacons of light against the seemingly growing social darkness gripping so many with feelings of helpless, hopeless despair. May our performing platforms serve as battering rams able to shatter the illusions blinding so many from the truth: We Are One! We are stewards, co-heirs destined to harvest and share what this world, this planet, this society still has the potential to offer and make manifest. For promised better days to come we need just accept that we are the voices, the hands and feet of a cosmic force made manifest thru us, for us, just because – because we’re built for more than present minds and hearts have come to accept. We’ve been granted eyes, ears a...

  The hurting heart of humanity Humanities heart is in a state of global crisis! Growing natural disasters have compounded the widespread social conflict and injustice driving class and racial inequalities to unbearable levels. Crime, violence, mental illness and corruption have become little more than a normal cost of doing daily business. Existence has become an arena where depleting resources and dwindling economic opportunities are dangerously justifying the resulting consequences. of Growing unemployment, poverty and homelessness have reached unprecedented levels. Thus, mounting forms of addiction are just efforts to ease the strain of having to live in constant competition with each other at the cost of losing one’s innate natural desire, need and ability to love, trust and share. Meanwhile, the looming dark clouds full of thundering hate and lightning-fast hoarding are crippling the social threads of compassion under the weight of growing fear and despair. In truth, lookin...

  On The Hammer Of Truth    When a people have been so indoctrinated  That you can hit them on the head   With the hammer of truth   And cause little more than an echo  Then truly They have been made ready for the Matrix   Where they, once alive and dangerous  Now robotically animated  To serve with indifference   As if a mouse in a maze   Addicted to seeking out and pressing   A button for its scheduled ration of reward   A paycheck  Guilt and conscious free …   But let swing – The Hammer of Truth  And let its echo ring long and loud  Till heard among the members of Council and Assembly   Till heard among the members of Congress and Senate alike   Till the very Presidents chair itself   Be trembled by the sound of a people disgruntled onto outrage   As the hammer of truth continues to echo   The sound of a c...

  New Slaves for the New Global Economy Part 12: JESUS VS CHRISTMAS Beware fellow Automatons! Christmas is here and you have been programed to spend; to bailout the industries that count on making ¼ of their annual profits in the name of Jesus. In return, you’ll gain the opportunity to bare the Christian cross and crown of thorns: Credit Card Debt in the name of Jesus Christ (J.C.) while losing the essence of the day. J.C. is not only a symbol that points to eternal life, but an opportunity to be a citizen of UTOPIA – HEAVEN ON EARTH! And note! One way or the other, we are moving toward a one world order: An order stating trust government, not God – instilled by force and not by faith filled choice. J.C. is a precious gift offered not just to reconcile our relationship back with God but with our neighbors as well. Yet the economics of Christmas has become the important thing to consider. It’s a high-volume selling season full of purchasing cards, gifts, decorations, cloths ...

  New Slaves for the New Global Economy Part 11: LET VOTER TRANSPARENCY REIGN Malcolm X said, “ If you don't stand for something (within your own principles), you will fall for anything !” It doesn’t matter who’s won the election . What should matter is the shady process being utilized. There seems to be a few inherent things that should be brought into question before the next election. Presently, it seems like the political party is being allowed to choose its voters rather than the voters choosing their representatives. To that, the philosopher Voltaire cautions: Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Consider Trump! To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead. Thomas Paine (Common Sense) Consider yourself and note Voltaire: Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices. Many say there is no point in voting anymore. But havin...
