Read MoreA Trumpian Sonnet
How have I sold you out? Let me count the ways – I sold you out to the depth and breadth and height my soul could reach striving for and needing great wealth, control, supremacy over all. You were the means by which that greatness within the circle of dictators could be acquired and attained.…
Read MoreCome to Jesus! But which one?

Read MoreMISSISSIPPI BURNING – EVIL STALKS AND WINS!
