One World Day
One World Day - an idea whose time has come, baby, can you dig it? One World Day: an event enlisting all of you, the roughly 6.6 billion people on the planet, to unite with the voice of one human peace-army for a day – telling it like it is, telling it like you really want it to be. One World Day sings the demands for world leaders to heed the voices, needs, wishes and agenda of you, the people, for peace, sustenance, comfort, cooperation, understanding, fulfillment and opportunity instead of promoting the mad money mania the world has been forced to endure for ages! One World Day – an expression by you, the people of the world, who, through your sheer numbers, your

A Cold, Stone Edifice
A cold, stone edifice lurks at the edgeof daybreak. Soldiers’ boots crawlacross blood soaked streets in hazyhalf-light. Bats screech through un-peopledunderpasses in the between-world – killersabove corpses below. The mostly asleepundead dreamwalk through turnstiles,depositing their productive yearsinto token slots as they pull the gas pumptriggers of Uzis and smart bombs.Wealth’s stranglehold grips newbornfantasies by the jugular, applying pressurewhile insatiable appetites ooze a putrid,envious and lusty stench.
