A Chant For Autumn
I can feel the signs of autumn in the breeze,summer sighs and makes to leave,windy warm through apple trees.I can smell the rain upon the air,dewy drops on leafy tops,shimmers in my hair. The frost paints silver shadows on the dawn,turning pigments red and brown, like bucks grown from the fawn.The words I speak that…
Abiding Eos
I have an idea about what I want to do next.I’d like a forum for leftists. I mean a place for socialists of all stripes: Democratic Socialism, Marxism, Anarchism, et. al., to come and talk without interference from moderators. Certainly, there are a few spaces where socialists can talk, but they’re almost always governed by…
To my mother, who has reached the stars before me.
On October 22nd, 2021 at 5:01 PM, my mother died. She was 65 years old. She had suffered, for many years, from diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, body aches and pains from having the inability to walk. She had suffered strokes, seizures, and two heart attacks. She’d had sarcoidosis of the central nervous system,…
Ground. bound.
We used to swing among the trees, our ancestors, and yet now in our far more advanced society, with the power of silicon and radiation at our command, we cannot sympathize with their plight, even though it is also our plight. How far we’ve fallen from the trees to ignore the sky, and still not…
Why I’m A Communist
I didn’t become the way I am because of communism, I am this way, and communism happens to match what I’m looking for in humanity’s future: a stateless, classless, moneyless society where everyone truly can work to achieve what they want in life, rather than what is dictated to them by those who will never…
Turning to Face Them
I was just thinking back on something I talked about the other night, about the concept of change, and how we all change. I just want to mention that not all change happens slowly, sometimes it’s very fast. There are times where a new idea completes a puzzle that someone has been putting together their…
Two Sides Flipped On Its Head
I think everyone changes. People change all of the time. We are unceasing systems of change. Yet so many people deny they actually change beyond the obvious (physically we all change, we all get older), because change often has a stigma associated with it. After all, someone who is noted for changing often can be…
Tipping The Scales
I just want all of you to know that even though I can sometimes seem abrasive, even hateful, it is not out of hatred or disgust for any of you, but in defense of you. I hate the system that traps us here, that keeps some of us bound, and others fighting just to breathe….
Barnum’s Motto Rings Hollow
Theater is lovely. I always enjoy a good, entertaining show, but there are places where theater doesn’t belong. For example, public policy is a place where theater doesn’t belong. Be wary of theater when it comes to politics. Politicians are known to smile and say the right things for a reason, and people fall for…
