“There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.” Montesquieu
But Not Today How clever the con of flags and their purveyors who valorise sacrifice for ideologies that dribble like bird shit down lifeless, barren statues, testimonies to a violence nurtured by cunning liars who consume our flesh, but not today, today we burn your flag repudiating your death cult, and beat your statues into life-giving vessels bearing gifts of life and love that set us free to determine that no one will die this day for the sickness that is a canker in your fetid heart. ©Paul Vincent Cannon

Very enraging and a befitting reply to the fearmongers and people spreading violence and fear in the name of the ruling. Alas, we have people like in every corner of the world today.

I like the notion of beating those statues into life-giving vessels. And here in the US, more dead from gun violence over the “holiday” weekend.

O, and yes, I was tapping into beating guns/swords into ploughshares as a response to current crises. What difference it would make.
