4 at Deception Island, Antarctica

this one is my favorite

no kings wanted on any of the 7 continents

‘if Antarctica were music it would be Mozart.

art, it would be michelangelo.

literature, and it would be Shakespeare.

and yet, it is something even greater:

the only place  on earth that is still as it should be.

may we never tame it.’

  5. False Kings and Foolish Czars 
     
     
                           
    The silence of time 
    Will eventually bury mankind 
    How many false Kings 
    And foolish Czars 
    Have destroyed our peaceful yards 
     
    How many crumbling bricks 
    Live in your castle walls? 
    How foul are the deadly waters 
    That fill your castle moats? 
    How many old bridges 
    Have you foolishly burnt down? 
     
    How many shallow graves 
    Do we have to dig? 
    Before cemeteries overflow 
    How many bloody floods 
    Do we have to endure? 
    Before the final curtain falls

    • Yes, I admire those 3 for getting out there! I got the sense that people were doing exactly what you did on this one. Joining or just making one wherever they found themselves and that’s the best, happening organically. This is an amazing life lesson for your kids, they’ll never four and if I had to guess, I’d say that they will most likely always be activists in some form or another in the future because of these experiences. Please tell them we had a kids and dogs for democracy event next to our rally right before they made signs and the local Indy pet stores gave them gift certificates for dog costumes!
