With the virus, global warming, and racism, dominating the headlines here in Canada, compounded by lockdown after lockdown.....and now the threat of variants, virus mutations a serious threat, it's having a negative affect on our thinking about life in general. I find that, with not being able to move about, my ability to make art has been muted, and my writing gets more and more negative....
OF HUMANITY
Humanity,
a curse,
an abomination,
a blight upon the Earth.
Like maggots to a carcass
we feed upon the Earth,
consuming,
devouring ,
altering,
increasing our numbers
with ever increasing thirst.
There’ll come a day
of reckoning,
a certainty denied,
with lies,
deceit, and
pride.
Ignoring towering waves, and
storm clouds on the horizon
humanity has set its sails,
oblivion is its course.
In our final moment,
clinging to the raft,
too late, and now
humble,
a shaking voice will ask,
and wonder,
why?

The other day while surfing, attempting to find something interesting to pass the time, I came across a documentary about the English artist, Maggie Hameling. Artists that might stumble upon my site, especially young artists, might want to check her out as her paintings and drawings are very remarkable, as well as inspiring Makes one wish that they were young again.
