WILLFUL BLINDNESS


 “With willful blindness practiced now by most, a peaceful future's very much in doubt. When nuclear bombs could make this planet toast, that willful blindness we could do without! When folks start daily reading “Counterpunch”, then maybe we will see some rays of hope. Right now so many minds are out-to-lunch, that Life on Earth is running out o' rope! So, reader, do ya care, er do ya not? Since some don't care, the end is getting near. We must appreciate this chance we've got, and act ta save this planet! Did ya'll hear?”

TIME TO LOVE


'Why ever let the love within ya fade? Why ever fail ta love with All your Heart? Man, I believe it's love for which we're made! If you've stopped loving, friend, it's time ta start!”

ANGELS AND EMPIRE


It's apathy and blood-lust, not just greed, that make Some minds and hearts so mean and cold. It's beauty, love, and Truth they Really need, not more indulgent pleasures, cash, and gold. Oh, Lovers, please have Mercy on us all: attackers, victims, women, kids, and men. Let's Love a Lot, and let the Empire Fall! If not Us, Who, dear Ones, if not Now, When?
