A Paradigm LOST

Political poetry intertwined with powerful Activist Art We have adapted to greed, consumerism, hate, injustice, war, destruction and sociopathy. Adaptation has kept us alive for millennia –and now it is killing us. We need a shift, a 99% lift – we need to lose the view that things are inherently awful and we can’t do anything about it. We need to stop manufacturing consent and start manufacturing dissent – by the boat load, the ship it out like Amazon knick knacks – from sea to shining sea and back again.

Through our emotions, building the notions that we can – can Do something Fifteen artists, Tammam Azzam, Anthonoy Freda, A.
