Going, Going, Gone...

My favorite artists and scientists have gone. Thank you for being around.
I'm sure to follow soon, returning this borrowed life.
It's been a good ride with your music, movies and documentaries.

Suzuki is 89.

Andrews is 90.

Goodbye, Dr. Jane Goodall

 Thank you for being around.

Remember this sound?
Now, it's history.

Now it’s all about speed and productivity,
Quotas, sales, money, money, and money.
Just when they thought computerization
Would speed up work, bring to completion,
Result in more family time and relaxation,
How wrong, wrong, wrong they were to the core!
Corporations continue to ask for more, more, and more.

 Why are we making the rich richer? Let's buy local as much as we can. Let's support medium-scale businesses as much as we can. Let's have shopping-free days and help declutter this planet. Let's not be swayed by commercialization and go on a shopping frenzy during "sales" that aren't really sales. Are we defined by our material possessions?

Political Satire: Anyone?

No Mother

We wish that no mother would bury her child,
But God giveth and taketh.
God's purpose. God's plans.

We thank the Lord for giving us Marc Anthony,
With the face of an angel as an infant,
Headbanging to rock music as a toddler,
Chewing everything like a teething puppy,
Growing up memorizing politicians’ names,
Songs and dance moves in noontime shows,
Keeping a pure heart for 32 years.
Until we meet again, dear Balong.

Goodbye for now, Precious One
