Statement

will you stand for it. will you watch it. perhaps you ahve already....


circle gets the square

Saddam goes to be hanged
who's flesh is now dead

does anyone find themselves
asking in killing even for justice
do we ourselves not die a little

traditional portraiture
distortions of reality
the grid of lies

we must perceive
and see beyond

to the truth within

an new vision
for a new millennium


sure perhaps he was a tyrant in your eyes
but does that mean we have to give up any
human dignity we have left

I simply ask you to ask yourself
would you want a media circus
made of your execution

it's a horrible thing, one of many
each and every day i see us drawn
toward like moths to a flame

when we should shutter and turn away
at such gruesome horrible acts
we now find ourselves morbidly
interested and wanting to watch

where i ask you does that mean
we have taken ourselves
our souls

have we become what we dread most
then denizens of the evil we once abhorred
