***************
A gentle reader once said to me
“If you write more like Mark Twain…”
I know now, even if I were to write
with the combined wisdom
of Socrates, Confucius, and Jesus,
nothing would change.
Nothing!

Why do I write?
To entertain.
*
My writings are dangerous?
What about the revolution of our revolutionaries
at the turn of the last century
that resulted in the death
of countless of innocent lives?
*
When we speak of terrorism,
we ignore the policies that contributed to it.
