I believe he has a right to be angry...

I think time will tell, it certainly can not be worse than the last four years, but we'll see...

[Rudolf Baruth]

This song's succinct and evocative lyrics suggest a powerful, almost prophetic narrative. The imagery of a madman shaping the world in his own image introduces themes of chaos, power, and transformation. While the brevity adds intensity, it also leaves much to interpretation, which could either intrigue or frustrate listeners depending on their preference for clarity. Overall, the song has a striking, dramatic quality, but it could benefit from further development to deepen its thematic exploration.

[Dylan Macadham]

Thanks Rudolf!
...and for the constructive criticism too :)

Please, don't remind me. On the other hand, it's an excuse to drink.

[Dylan Macadham]

Ah, yes, a Silver Lining!
Thanks JB :)

This theory is about to be tested and I take no joy in watching.

[Dylan Macadham]

Like you, I sense a terrible storm coming. The unthinkable has happened, and I have totally lost faith in American voters to choose a president. A great poem for these awful times.

I agree. A new world will began very soon. Not a better one. I hope the USA and the world can survive four years of a fool. Very nice dance of words and thoughts.
