“This is my letter to the world….”
Real World Address
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished
Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.
The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.
Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.
— Van der Leun

Lovely
I know they weren’t tears…but still.
Beats the heck out of the seagulls. 😉 Equilibrium restored.
I told you elephants were Modernists.
Best Comment at You Tube: “So that’s what my teeth sound like”
Heart warming to say the least. Thank you.
I kept waiting for the elephant to start singing… : (
Very nice. Pedal-pushers, mandals and purse, too. Now, try that with an African bull in must.
1) reminds me of the excellent film, “Water For Elephants.”
2) unfortuately, *also* reminds me of those eco-sexuals in love with trees….
3) the piano needs tuning. desperately.
Gives a new meaning to ‘tickling the ivories’.
either the moon is made of green cheese
or that piano was way, way out of tune.
next time get a well-tuned concert grand out there
and play that pachyderm some Rachmaninoff.
rabbit – LOL
I imagine getting that heavy piano out there contributed to the detuning.
My favorite Debussy tunes after “Girl with the Flaxen Hair.”
One of my most favorite composers. His compositions were dreams in a time of terror.
I adore good music. Me and the elephant.
