Being a collection of doggerel, verse, stories, politics, historical essays, satire, poetry, jokes, pictures and whatever else I damn well please on a variety of interesting (or otherwise) subjects.

Too late?



Cannot believe what I see,
All I have wished for will be,
All our race proud and free.

---Donovan Leitch

  1. This is the ultimate food for thought...because when it comes to race...who am I...who are you...who are we...I don't know the answer, do you?

  2. Well, not to seem superior, and certainly through no merit of my own, but, as it happens, yes, I do know. :)


    "Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light! Heed ye this counsel that ye may obtain the fruit of holiness from the tree of wondrous glory."

    --The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh
