“The change begins with the realization that nothing we’re experiencing in this digital era is inevitable. It’s companies getting rich in a way that produces categorical harm to people, society, and democracy.” -Dr Shoshana Zubloff
You may talk o’ strength and warning,
You may cheer a bloody dawn—
But the missiles flew by morning,
And the enemy weren’t gone.
We struck their empty bunkers,
Dropped steel from up on high—
But Iran still held its firepower,
And truth was first to die.

They called it swift and surgical,
They called it bold and clean—
But the drones still sat assembled,
And the threat stayed on the screen.
Qatar took a rocket’s kiss,
The Gulf turned hot and wide—
So if this war was “just defense,”
What didn’t we destroy?

He said, “They must make peace now.”
He prayed into the mic.
But the hits came back by nightfall—
And no one asked him, “Why strike?”
The files said Iran was waiting,
The spies said time was ours—
But polls were bad, the base was split,
And war can shift the hours.

You may talk of votes and virtue,
Of law and solemn right—
But the power moved in silence,
And the Congress lost its fight.
Twelve bombs fell for spectacle,
No briefing and no plan—
Just another loud distraction
From a small and frightened man.

The White House fumbles, diplomacy frays,
Vance spits fire, gaslights the blaze.
Trump unhinged, a reckless tide,
Zelensky stands with steady pride.
Not since Kissinger have we seen
Such fractured talk, a shattered sheen.
A long road from Reagan’s call—
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
Vance spits fire, gaslights the blaze.

There was Trump, reclined in gold,
Musk at his feet, a sight to behold.

Animal Farm 2.0
The Heritage swine cry, Downsize! Downsize!
Lean and mean—no fat, no ties.
Yet Musk, the stallion, sniffs the air,
Sees a prize just waiting there.

In weeks, the pigs will wire the pen,
AI shall rule instead of men.
No horse to toil, no man to scheme,
Just code to dictate every dream.
From Greenland’s ice to Panama’s sand,
AI shall rule instead of men.
No horse to toil, no man to scheme,
Just code to dictate every dream.

So gather, weave, resist, persist,
The tide will turn, the dawn insists.
No power holds when all arise—
Do not panic, organize.

A thousand sparks can light a place.

The tyrant feeds on fear and hush,
On silence bent by weary dust.
A single voice may seem too thin,
Yet echoes grow when whispers twin.
