My blog, welcome. |
Credit goes to Norbanus for this wonderful poem. Much thanks for the gift. Nero: The Legend and Fiend To read the mind of madness, as a rule Is wrought with pitfalls leading but to grief. When Nero smiled Rome nodded as one fool, most jumping in to hide their disbelief But there were some, who understood his ways, who didn't blab while planning a new track. The story of his end goes on days. His corpus tossed into the trash out back. The gladius then sheathed, or so they say. His guards had done the job without a hitch. His broken dream of art had gone its way. His "Qualis antifex" now in the ditch. We read of his great falling from his perch, did he think that he’d left Rome in a lurch? Welcome friends! This insane, wild, and honest blog is home to my thoughts, observations, and daily musings on whatever may arise. Enjoy your stay. BLOGGER OF THE WEEK May 3, 2020 - May 9, 2020 |

Listen to this song, One Day by Matisyahu.
The song One Day strikes a chord within me because of its message. It’s about wanting peace and love, and could not be any more correct that this is the perfect song for today.
We need to end the racism in our country, or at least confront it so we can end it one day. It won’t go away just by protesting (that’s a great way to do it though) or posting something on social media (that doesn’t ... [Read more] ¿Por qué? June 4, 2020 at 9:09pm DAY 2757 June 4, 2020
Half a century ago, the amazing courage of Rosa Parks, the visionary leadership of Martin Luther King, and the inspirational actions of the civil rights movement, led politicians to write equality into the law and make real the promise of America for all her citizens. -David Cameron
What happened to equality? How did we turn back the clock of time and commit the same horrible crimes that were a a social norm before Rosa and Martin's time? Your thoughts about wha... [Read more] |
