Hero

“Each one of them that heeds the call,
Veritably to the justice hall,
Ends not with a simple vote or tally
Reaching unto every street and alley.

Yet the pealing of the Liberty Bell
Makes low the gates of tyrant hell.
Ask I, ‘Who should ring it?’ and
None answers, save one outstretched hand.”


Be well,
Huckleberry

Truth, Error, Lies, and Deception

No lie exists until spoken, therefore lies serve at the pleasure of the liar. Error exists only upon action, therefore errors serve as traps to the actor. Truth stands unspoken and without recognition or action. No deception exists until truth, error, and lie are in the hands of the deceiver—they are the raw materials with which he plies his craft.

Be well,
Huckleberry

Tyrannus

A bit if meat, a draught of wine
A spoon of kingly porridge
Each rests within temporal reach
And within these we may forage

Tell me then which is not for me
From which I must refrain
Yank upon the steely bit
Place your hand upon the rein

You who say, “There be no God
And each man’s choices are his own”
Would make me pay another’s fees
And set yourself upon that throne

Can quorum pars enslave a man
By lot or plebiscite
Without risking rude awakenings
When the slaves don to unite?


Be well,
Huckleberry
