The Poet: Joy Harjo, "A Map to the Next World"
*"A Map to the Next World"* "In the last days of the fourth world I wished to make a map for those who would climb through the hole in the sky. My only tools were the desires of humans as they emerged from the killing fields, from the bedrooms and the kitchens. For the soul is a wanderer with many hands and feet. The map must be of sand and can't be read by ordinary light. It must carry fire to the next tribal town, for renewal of spirit. In the legend are instructions on the language of the land, how it was we forgot to acknowledge the gift, as if we were not in it or of it. Take note... more »

*“The Freedom Fairy”* by Jeff Thomas “For some time, it’s been apparent that the former “free world” countries (the US, EU, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc.) have been on a downward progression – socially, politically and economically.

With each successive year, more and more people recognize that all facets of life in these formerly great countries are heading in a decidedly negative direction. At this point, even those who don’t understand the decline intellectually, feel in their gut that this i... more »
