The lure of what we wan't,
despite the reality of what we need.

"I put a spell on you,
because your mine."


Wage slavery-
Creating an economic system
inclusive to a select few

"You better stop the things you do
I aint lyin'
No, I aint lyin'"


We are all human beings.
We are all capable,
of murder,
of grace,
of hate,
of forgiveness.

"You know I can't stand it
You're runnin' around
You know better daddy
I can't stand it cause you put me down"


Nina Simone sang of a love,
one so overpowering,
life, destiny, fate, free will,
all become entangled, in a triangle,
of love.

"I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine"


Capitalism is less forgiving.
The rich and "HAVES", love with reckless abandon,
money buys much security,
economically and emotionally.
The poor and the "HAVENOTS", have only love.
A true love,
untainted by the perpetual lust for more,
for the most expensive,
for the most comfortable,
for the newest and coolest.

"I love ya...
I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don't care
if you don't want me
I'm yours right now"


Some drive BMW's
to work
some take the bus.

Some vacation in the Hamptons
for a break
some enjoy a quiet evening on the porch.

Some are driven by an ego
Which asserts
"I am the one!"

Some understand the value
of the statement, from the Sermon on the Mount
"Blessed are the poor in spirit."

Take your money,
your big house,
your fancy car,
your paid vacations,
your golf excursions,
I am satisfied with love.
Thank you Nina Simone

"You hear me
I put a spell on you
Because yoooou're miiiiiiiiiine "
