Artist statement:
The Storm Upon Us
These days, like no other
proclaim vile disruptions….
And whereas that Unfailing Light,
there always for guidance
In the advanced growth
of this
Our Nations course….
has dimmed, through volition, over time….
As the work and hardship and expansion
The foundations which have advanced
this People….
Confronts chaos and machinations….
webs of deluded turmoil continue….
This day.
If History is ignored
Whether through ignorance or delusion
A Dark Hammer of oppression
for those subdued by apathy and comfort
and those others seduced by riotous victory….
Awaits an outcome
once unleashed
That will roil future generations
As History mercilessly
Repeats
Itself.
