First there was nothing
Second there was everything
Third was the sphere
Fourth came the wave
Here am I
Sixth will be a line
Lastly there will be nothing

"Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street

NBC News: Officers charged

"Ticking away the moments
That make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours
In an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your hometown
Waiting for someone or something
To show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today

And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you

Given recent events, I believe that it would be appropriate to give my opinion on things, for what it’s worth. Living in New York City, it isn’t always obvious how much of a factor racism is in the United States. Granted, my mother did insist that as a black man, I will have to work twice as hard to get the same recognition as a white person. However, I was never raised with a victim mentality, and knowing how far we have come as a society, I know that colorblindness is possible, even if

"Us and Them

And after all, we're only ordinary men

Me, and you

God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
moved from side to side

Black and Blue

And who knows which is which and who is who

Up and Down

And in the end, it's only round and round and round

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words

I hate mixing politics with ponies—I come here to take a break from the real world, not have current headlines shoved in my face all over again.

But this needs to be brought up.

"I figured it out. Pink Floyd is the equivalent to getting a message on your brain." - from Dragan232

"Welcome my son, welcome to the machine

Where have you been?

It's alright we know where you've been

You've been in the pipeline, filling in time

Provided with toys and 'scouting for boys'

You brought a guitar to punish your ma

And you didn't like school, and you

Know you're nobody's fool

So welcome to the machine

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine

What did you dream?

I offer my condolence to his family and friends. His last words, "I can't breathe", are strongly reminiscent of Eric Garner's exact words before he died from being put in a chokehold. Firing the police officers is not enough. They need to be charged and face jail time for committing murder.

"As you look around this room to tonight

Settle in your seat and dim the lights

Do you want my blood, do you want my tears

What do you want

What do you want from me

Should I sing until I can't sing any more

Play these strings until my fingers are raw

You're so hard to please

What do you want from me

Do you think I know something you don't know

What do you want from me

Hey everyone,

Prismatic is complete with its second and final chapter, one year after I published the first.

This was not an easy chapter to write, nor the one I originally envisioned in 2017. There's a lot to be said for good intentions.

For now, I am glad to have completed Prismatic. I am proud of how the chapter (and ending) turned out, even though it doesn't line up with what I had initially planned for this story.

Been looking into crime stats... Baltimore has gotten OUTRAGEOUSLY bad! People are getting blown away in the Inner Harbor area for nothing! Gangs feel so emboldened by the pathetic government there that LITERALLY people who just happen to walk too close to them are being shot.

What a disgrace. This is what BLM got that city. Burn, Loot, Murder... THAT is the reality.

It's here! Enjoy!
