Dead End

When life becomes too hard, two words seem to say it all. Combined they have an absolute finality to them. Not Dead Dead or The End but rather an end that can go no further. Like the Nuclear Option avoided tonight by the Senate can the country avoid the precipice of war and greed. What will bring us back from the edge? Who will give us the hope to move forward? Will we have health care and a secure old age? Did the Senate feel the end was near?

Will I find a reason to make art with hope where there seems to be none? I feel drained by the conflict and poverty in this world. Put on the brakes and turn around before it is too late.
