Reclaiming the Flame

The machinery of distraction hummed, the theater of nonsense rolled on, and most barely noticed. We’ve witnessed the comedy and tragedy intertwine until they became indistinguishable, laughter with a noose around its neck, tragedy with a clown’s grin smeared across its bloody face.

The Death of Discernment

We live in the golden age of “knowing everything” while simultaneously knowing absolutely nothing. The irony? People are drowning in information yet devoid of wisdom, choking on data like a man face-down in a buffet, stuffing his mouth and still starving.

Externalization of the Self

We’ve given the keys to our own being away to the very forces that profit from keeping us small, afraid, and divided. And this can only ever lead to one place. Destruction of the spirit!

The Divine Tragedy is the Divine Comedy

It could be said that if the situation weren’t so tragic, it would be laugh out loud hysterical. Although the situation is serious, many would say dire, you can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. And the writers of this script are quite possibly the greatest comedians of all time.

Living Authentically in a Plastic World

Living authentically means stripping away the performative masks, the virtue posturing, the cowardice masquerading as compassion. It’s choosing integrity over approval, truth over comfort, courage over safety.

Haunted Temple

I did this song collaboration with AI (Suno). I find artificial intelligence to be creepy and impressive at the same time. I wrote the lyrics, added some lead guitar, synthesizer, and did some automation and light mastering. This was the result. 
 
Haunted Temple
You can’t deny you are the fallen one the problem
You’re the one they all despise and you you are a liar 
 
In the flames you’ll burn from what you don’t learn
Fucking mental wasted potential
 
Why can’t you just see your own misery?
Why do your eyes lie why do you always hide?
 
In the flames you’ll burn from what you don’t learn
Fucking mental wasted potential
 
Why can’t you just see your own misery?
Why do your eyes lie why do you always hide?
 
In the flames you’ll burn from what you don’t learn
From what you don't learn Helpless stranger
 
As the temple burns one more page it turns
Fucking mental wasted potential
I can’t believe it you just won’t receive it
Passion and the light inside has died within
the haunted temple

Bearing Witness

To those few who are awakened in this age, these trying times of wonder and madness, we are called now to bear witness to something so monumental, so absolutely Earth-shattering that it will shake people down to the soul level, down to the very core of their being.

Authoritarianism on Steroids

In a 1989 Supreme Court ruling, it was determined that burning the flag of the US in protest is an act of protected free speech and expression under the First Amendment.

The Machinery of Distraction

The rulers of this age do not need bullets or batons to keep the masses subdued. They wield noise. Endless noise. A ceaseless flood of entertainment, outrage, and crisis, engineered to keep the mind sedated and the spirit submissive.

Digital Chains

The chains of the past were iron and steel, heavy and cumbersome, rattling with every step. But the chains of today are silent, woven of digital code and circuitry, of pixels and screens.
