A Requiem of Red

The nightmare, the hammers, the sickles ahead,

The future is bleak, it is black, it is red

The history of horror, the miseries ones fled

Hosting fresh Histories, deciding what’s said


The practice, the shortages, the scarcity of bread

The masters, the deciders, they decide what is fed

The death, the despair, the piles of dead

The records, the mysteries of those who have bled


The judges, the masters pick who fights in their stead

No sacrifice, no compassion for those who have fled

They hold the future in charge of what’s read

They spare the truth, no need, not a shred


No care for the people, not Sally, not Ned

They hardly hesitate to do away with the head

No more individuals, debate put to bed

Prioritizing one thing, their crates full of lead


Acronyms galore, ‘A’ through to zed

Some friendly, familiar, names such as FRED

It’s treachery, it’s over the cliff on a sled

It’s sleeping in slums, no homes but a shed 


Subjecting the people to wars of great dread

The future, the truth, their heritage is dead

No time for rest, fueled by fear and plenty of PED

Fearing the wrath of those at the head 


Own nothing you will, a requiem of red

Trump Victorious in 2024 Presidential Election

As of this hour, former President and now President-elect Donald Trump has secured his second term as the forty-seventh President of the United States. Trump’s victory comes after winning key battleground states Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.  As for the popular vote, Trump was victorious there as well, winning by a one-and-a-half-percent margin. Despite these results, it’s evident that there remains a significant social and political problem in the United States, where politically-motivated violence, social unrest, crime and general instability have become rampant over the years since the death of George Floyd.  However, I’d say the fact that it was even this close is ominous for the years ahead. This was as clear as it gets for an election, that the incumbents (both Biden and Harris) are wholly unfit for any office, that they present a real and present danger where they’re allowed within twelve thousand miles of a school zone, let alone any...

From BC to AD to AI

Artificial intelligence is bound not only to render the ordinary human being boring by comparison, and in many cases practically unnecessary, but to dispose human beings to hostility toward each other where any dares pose a question or raise a concern instead of taking it up with a chatbot (or AI interface); such a course of action eventually assuming such a regular place in human affairs as to stand in entirely for human discourse and daily interaction.  This is not only a very real possibility when considering the future course of human ‘civilization’; it is more than likely imminent or already upon us.  It is left to be seen just what this will look like, just how this will play out, just what tolerance the species (and even beyond) has for such extremes which this technology is to bring about. Likewise, it remains to be seen whether a heavily-indebted society facing never-ending and unavoidable taxes (i.e. taxes on property) can even be expected to retrain and retool for t...

It’s Time to Make Things Right

Some people are late to the conversation. Some think that there’s still room and time for dialogue, that those who don’t get it are still within reach, that they can still be ‘saved’; that, if we are clever and cautious enough, if we just assemble a tighter and more comprehensive argument and package it nicely enough, reason will finally prevail, and that the uninitiated will surely accept the truth when it is finally perfectly and plainly laid before them in the clearest of resolution. This is not just a pipe dream but a complete misreading of the room, a special kind of ignorance to the “godless ideology,” as Virginia Delegate Nick Freitas has described it, “that kills babies in the womb, sterilizes confused children, turns our cities into cesspools of degeneracy and lawlessness… and [led to the assassination of] Charlie Kirk.” Remember this: less than a year ago, half of the country was wholeheartedly prepared to vote for a senile dementia patient, Joe Biden, for the simple reason t...
