"Trump Tower Lebanon" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon", which made a joke out of the deaths of men, women, and children, offended me, but apparently some thought those deaths were "hilarious", so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

Maybe Tom the bully will leave me another comment, telling me to shut up, because I'm not allowed to say anything unless he (and other "Free Speech is fine as long as it agrees with mine" bullies) approves of it.

"Eluard Ernst" - Postcard

This week's theme at My Soul's Dark Imagination was "Enigmatic Paul And Gala Eluard". I missed the challenge for Evolutionary Max Ernst, so my piece is a combination of both themes.

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head
They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dying

but somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams
I think her death it must be killing me

One Headlight - The Wallflowers

I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams are dust in the wind
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground
So don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
