The ultimate human tragedy,
Our everlasting inability,
To translate, as a whole,
Those virtues that define our greatest trailblazers,
Opting instead,
For Machiavellian smokescreens,
Smoke and mirrors,
Worthy of a magic show in Vegas,
The city of sin,
A fitting tribute don’t you think?
A marvel of excess,
Perilous,
The way we treat our fellows,
Dubious,
The way we laud ourselves,
Praise our so-called success,
So called,
Because of the Pyrrhic nature,
Of our progress,
The gap between rich and poor,
Growing faster than ever before,
Yet we can put a robot on Mars,
Millions behind bars,
And millions more in a socio economic Alcatraz,
Our endless thirst,
For comfort,
Though knowing its cost,
Helps to reveal our lack of cause,
Or principled growth,
Not profit, or principalities,
We need power,
In fact, to empower,
All with in our grasp,
And yet we don’t,
For no good reason,
So its open season,
On the down trodden and the poor –
What is I don’t want to live in a world like this anymore Alex?

Perspective
The complexities of the human mind are so staggering as to arouse contempt for any meaningful advancement. Technical knowledge and human ingenuity forever intertwined, yet, we collectively allow a group of mostly wealthy white men to decide the fate of not only humanity but of the animals, plants, oceans and earth and I’m left asking, no searching, for some logical or rational reason that we educated people are such fools.
Wake up – History is today from tomorrows perspective which means one man, one woman, one child can shape history.
Should we sit idly by and let Saddam Hussein, George Bush, North Korea and Great Britain decide history without taking into account the will of the people who empower them in the first place. Wake up, history is ours, we can grab it, shape it, we can create it today but only when our minds are the only things exploding – with the brilliance of innocence generating peace from our collective desires.
We have the power,
Will we use it?
Wake up!

What is...
What is Hope?
Is hope not a powerful human condition which transcends all known information?
Does hope not laugh in the face of adversity?
Or call upon our species for that one more push despite the conclusion of our well documented wisdom?
Does hope not call from within us a force which can only be referred to as an indomitable spirit?
Hope defies logic rationally and yet our desires seem to leave us wanting.
I may hope for a Big Mac, or a Pair of Nike’s, a Phat Farm Jacket, a new Porsche or an old one or perhaps for our favorite politician or sports team to win:
Perhaps it is the misuse of that powerful human condition, the cheapening of an essential spiritual tool which has weakened our societal fabric.
What have we become?
Replacing faith, belief, God and hope with faceless corporations and morally corrupt leaders – BANKRUPT!

Difference ACCEPTED... Apply within
How many volumes written in the course of human history on the subjects of love, harmony, peace and respect?
Each piece a valuable and important legacy of our search for something better. That something in the solitude of my soul is always in sight but just beyond reach – We grasp the importance of the search and feel compelled to continue on despite the many obstacles standing in the way of our collective liberation of the soul. Our freedom to choose and ability to discern between right and wrong often stands in the way of our realization of that better world.
Rarely able to put others before ourselves, not necessarily an expression of our lack of understanding rather an inherent confusion of the soul, distracted.
No matter our time and space, democracy or communism, Canada or China, to save our souls we must start a movement of revolutionary proportions without streams that run the colour of blood. No this movement must start with self, an internal dialogue to break down the barriers of confusion, to truly seek new paradigms so that we may shift to a new awakening.
We must learn to accept our differences, we must embrace the fact that there is much we know and much more that we don’t. We must learn to love learning, the acquisition of knowledge to eradicate finally, once and for all ignorance and hate. We must teach each other that although difficult we have a responsibility to hold our tongues if we have nothing nice to say and to scream loudly even if with only one voice in the face of all iniquity. Time bears witness that even a muffled or muted soul inspired can not be held in place. Time and again, volume after volume teach us this very thing.
So my question to you is this: If one voice, one person, one man, one woman or child can change the world imagine how easy it would be to achieve love, harmony, peace and respect if each of us stands to lift our voice for a better world. Our volume, so deafening, would have to be heard:
Rise up!
