𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙡(𝙨)...𝘼𝙉𝘿, 𝙨𝙤 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙚𝙩𝙨...

...from tenement halls to concert halls...writing on subway walls...til misuse of power falls...


...nearly all of them...others and ours...around our shared globe...spinning out of control...it's time for a change from merely changing "diapers" from RED to BLUE and back again...

…BUT NOT to GREEN...for as some see it, the $tring$ of the puppet$ on both LEFT and RIGHT are pulled by different monied interest$, each with their own agenda$.


--all the lyrics and video imagery point to the lunacy...of greed...excesses...of those who've made it to the top...and turn their eyes and hearts away from the plight of the "

ragged people in the poorer quarters..."


[NOTE: "For the LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil." 1 Timothy 6:10

In and of itself, money is not evil. It's needed for basic living standards. The problem arises when someone turns a deaf ear to the cries of the poor.]


"...a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest..."

Perhaps, PINK might offer a viable alternative...at least in helping expose the truth that the EMPEROR hasn't any clothes...(see below for what the Prophet Bob says about this...)

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I'm asking him to change his ways

And no message could have been any clearer

If you wanna make the world a better place

Take a look at yourself and then make a change


We were talking about the space between us all

And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion

Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away

We were talking about the love we all could share

When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love

With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew


Try to realise it's all within yourself

No one else can make you change

And to see you're really only very small

And life flows on within you and without you


We were talking about the love that's gone so cold

And the people who gain the world and lose their soul

They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?


When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find

Peace of mind is waiting there

And the time will come when you see we're all one

And life flows on within you and without you

Art can help us SEE...lunaSEE...


...But we gotta be willing to look...really look...with more than our rational mind...


"Trouble with you is

The trouble with me

Got two good eyes

But we still don't see"

--Casey Jones - Grateful Dead


...we need a deeper faculty...to SEE what lies beyond the veil





It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - Bob Dylan (07:30) Lyrics: (𝙢𝙮 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙨) Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child's balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fool's gold mouthpiece The hollow horn plays wasted words 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝙄𝙨 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙮 𝙙𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜

Temptation's page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel to moan but unlike before You discover that you'd just be One more person crying So don't fear if you hear A foreign sound to your ear It's alright, Ma, I'm only sighing As some warn victory, some downfall Private reasons great or small Can be seen in the eyes of those that call To make all that should be killed to crawl While others say don't hate nothing at all Except hatred Disillusioned words like bullets bark As human gods aim for their mark Made everything from toy guns that spark To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark It's easy to see without looking too far That not much is really sacred While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred-dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙙


An' though the rules of the road have been lodged It's only people's games that you got to dodge And it's alright, Ma, I can make it Advertising signs that con you Into thinking you're the one That can do what's never been done That can win what's never been won Meantime life outside goes on All around you You lose yourself, you reappear You suddenly find you got nothing to fear Alone you stand with nobody near When a trembling distant voice, unclear Startles your sleeping ears to hear That somebody thinks They really found you. A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy Ensure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙩 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤.

POST...POSTSCRIPT...


Want to leave us with a hopeful message about solutions that can help us find unity amidst diversity...Once there, we'll be led from WITHIN...and not manipulated from WITHOUT...


...if not for us...then for our children...
