“The Housefly

I鈥檓 just a little pesky thing,
Flying to eke out a living.
So round and round and round I hiss,
And fill the air with busy bliss.
Of hand and swatter steering clear,
I venture to light on crumbs and beer.
In salad days I was a Grecian king.
War and famine make me sing.
How much they鈥檇 like to whack me flat,
With a newspaper or even a baseball bat.
Splat!”
David B. Lentz, Bloomsday: A Tragicomedy

I had no idea then, as I now know, that I was writing with so much understatement. Honest outrage and political satire are two of the most important weapons that we have to protect infringement against our personal freedoms through oligarchy and to maintain any semblance of humanity in our democracy as our government aggressively privatizes and over-reaches at the expense of those millions whom it has sworn so dishonestly to serve and has utterly abandoned.”

Is Everyman fated as an island unto himself 鈥榯il his last bright day goes by?”
