Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice
Delusional, Diplomatic, and Do-Do (pronounced doe doe)
See how they run
To his mama, to the stars and into walls
They all ran after the farmer’s wife
Who happened to be a surf photographer
She cut off their tails with a carving knife
Sounds violent, she shoots surfers and peace signs
You’ve never seen such a sight in your life
As the whole line up shooting you a bird
Three blind mice

I’ve seen the light-through the hole in my heart
That’s why I allowed myself to miss a great shot!
Too much bad ju ju
But, on the other hand, I have to wonder
What kind of artist am I to have missed that shot!
One seeking peace.

What a conundrum

Earlier I was watching a movie, about war. It had one split second scene, of a soldier’s blood. Two seconds, at the most, and I felt the impact of what that image conveyed. A U.S. soldier’s blood was spilt on foreign soil.

Art and images are powerful and open to interpretation, as are words. Continue reading Freedom of Speech
