Falling up to the sky
Kiss the moon
The swallow’s swoon
The clouds cry on the plain
Rotting corpses rule the day
Shards of the gods wandering aimlessly
Fractured and torn from reality
Riding on blistered souls
Licking wounds while inflicting pain on others
In a futile effort to heal

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.

And from whence will the healing come if we cannot sense it within us? Yep, I resonate with this, Atomic.
