Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is bliss— in the face of reality, pharmaceuticals drifting through our drinking water. Someone else’s antibiotics coursing silently through our veins. Our filtration’s a facade as much as our Food and Drug Administration, never enough money to keep the poison out. When “government by the people” no longer means by theContinue reading “Ignorance is bliss”

“The loudest voices in the temple are not always the holiest. Sometimes, truth walks barefoot while virtue rides in a limousine.” In every age, the powerful have sought to appear righteous. In ours, that performance often comes wrapped in tweets, speeches, and statements from people whose lives are far removed from the consequences they lament.Continue reading “Performance activism.”

It seems to me that many people no longer understand what negotiation truly means. They’ve been screaming “their truth” for so long, they’ve mistaken volume for value, believing compromise is betrayal and that listening is weakness. But negotiation isn’t about domination or submission. It’s the art of finding ground, common or otherwise, between conviction andContinue reading “The art of negotiations.”

Why labor at the quarry of limitation, Where the uninitiated worship the stone, Yet know not the Cornerstone? Break the chains wrought in ignorance, Erect within thyself a Temple not made with hands. Radiate Light through upright conduct and quiet influence, Though the profane veil may obscure the Truth. Observe with the Square, Dissect withContinue reading “The Eye That Sees Not With Sight”

The Oscars don’t always make sense.  An actor might win Best Male/Female Lead, but their performance wasn’t created in a vacuum.  There was a director shaping every scene, a writer crafting every line, a cinematographer framing each shot, an editor helping choosing the best takes, and a crew making the whole vision possible.  The awardContinue reading “The Best Actor Oscar doesn’t make sense.”

I don’t understand all these blue pill ads, on social media, billboards, movie trailers, TV screens. They’re plastered everywhere. I’m almost 60 and have no issue in that department. But younger men seem to be buying into this trend. Why? Maybe it’s the toxic food, laced with synthetic estrogen. Maybe it’s the classrooms, where kidsContinue reading “Where are the men? Masculinity in the crosshairs.”

Who to believe, what to believe, how to believe, not to believe. The bully pulpit echoing repetitively fabricated warfare creating puppets and parrots parading lockstep in sync toward a unified goal. Censoring and disparaging the dissenting voices of the so called experts and leaders. Misinformation, laced with religion and politics preaching the perfect  politics of GodContinue reading “The cadence of corruption”

The powerful flicker of a candle’s flame a dance or avoidance. Illuminating   untouchable unable to retract its smoldering.  Remnant  enveloping from the liquid stickiness  sinking into the sky revealing its anchor  near its end before the moment  that last flash of smoke  intertwines nevertheless  without a trace. c 2025 Chu The Cud All RightsContinue reading “The dance”

It looks like this is goodbye I’ll try not to cry.  I knew this day would come didn’t think it was today.  Unprepared for the predictable.  One more day was yesterday  but I didn’t know. It was repetition begotten  transforming into memories  of what was and time wasted. Now it’s time to sink and cry Continue reading “Ode to a friend”

Violence begets violence riding restlessly on the breeze with another opportunity to strike once more without oppression of the provocateur having outgrown its catalyst and leaving a chaos of resentment  transcending flesh of time with an echo waging future sparks that bridges opportunities of reflection of evolving and transformation dissolving its loop furthermore.  c 2025Continue reading “Violence in abstraction”
