Jean-Leon Gerome – “Truth Coming Out of Her Well to Shame Mankind” 1896
___________________
We refuse to face
What is right in front of us
Challenges left unmet
Pain ignored
We defile our one home
Dehumanize each other
Our species is committing slow suicide
Our inability to see this truth
Angers me to my core

Hot molecules of moisture
Sticking to every exposed surface

Life slowly creating itself

Takashi Murakami – “Shangri-La Pink” 2015
_______________________
ARE we happy?
If you only look at the surface you would think so
You don’t look us in the eyes
You don’t ask the questions
That lead us to believe you want to hear truth
Our smiles are the masks we wear to reassure the world that we’re fine

Stasis is the illusion
Movement in stillness
247 of 365
Once again we must
Stand up against tyranny
Declare ourselves free

When she was no longer someone’s wife
When the kids were grown
No one to try to please
No one to avoid disappointing
Jeannette finally knew who she was
