guns, tanks and nuclear bombs are not darwinism these things are not nature
they destroy nature, they destroy hope, they destroy evolution.
Success can be measured in its many forms without destruction
and inspire nature, and inspire hope thereby inspiring evolution.
Ability to love, and complete production with monetary and heartwarming reward is a gift to some and a forever goal the wise.
Wisdom is not weak, destruction is a last stitch effort to mask childish fears and jealousy horrifically matured towards violence and falsity rather than true progression and or King self the conquerer spreading goodwill and true self esteem.
WE can have love, without hate YOU have experienced such, can easily imagine such, and are stronger than such, pathetic excuse.
WE are stronger.

Paths cross and bridges grow, no doubt, Meanwhile, you might want to know what This Slamophone trip is about.
It all started with the idea Poetry's too live, too diverse, each syllable - unsellable, every ephemerical verse being too fierce to be coerced Speech is the one right we have left Tongue slamming, spinning, tables turning, and France cannot be left for deaf.
So with a camera in hand, we' ve taken the country by storm videalistic is the spirit, originality the norm. We started out with 50 vids, now we are up to 360, from Montreal down to Marseille, from Pointe-à-Pitre to Gai Paree.
Take any door and come on in. Be curious, you will be served : 360 clips around our way, 360 clicks around the word …
I will be performing my 4 minute magical robotic popping/mime piece called "Trapped" which has had audiences going crazy along the coast from Vancouver, BC to San Francisco CA. This is a rare opportunity and may be the last time to see me perform this classic piece. Winner is chosen by audience! Come with friends, support me and the other competitors and be ready to see some magic.
