Right . . .

. . . or wrong
https://www.careerindia.com/tips/the-10-rules-of-creative-writing-019226.html

. . . Kudos to Dr. Seuss Enterprises for trying to do the proper thing. . . 

(from https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/02/books/dr-seuss-mulberry-street.html)
". . . Six Dr. Seuss books will no longer be published because of their use of offensive imagery, according to the business that oversees the estate of the children’s author and illustrator. . . Dr. Seuss Enterprises said that it had decided last year to end publication and licensing of the books by Theodor Seuss Geisel. The titles include his first book writing under the pen name Dr. Seuss, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” (1937), and “If I Ran the Zoo” (1950). . . “These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises said in the statement. The business said the decision came after working with a panel of experts, including educators, and reviewing its catalog of titles. . . Mr. Geisel drew political cartoons for a New York-based newspaper, PM, from 1941 to 1943, including some that used harmful stereotypes to caricature Japanese and Japanese-Americans. Decades later, he said he was embarrassed by the cartoons, which he said were “full of snap judgments that every political cartoonist has to make.”. . . "

Omniscient . . .

http://www.supercoloring.com/coloring-pages/cartoon-god-on-a-cloud

(Progress continues on "Eyes", a new tune)

There’s a boy in a room.
It’s a cavernous room,
With the walls all festooned
With the likenesses of
Sincere and humble, pious faces.

The eyes were watching,
Intently so.
Suspiciously watching,
But they weren’t the eyes
Of some omniscient, single, potent being.
They were the eyes of my fellow man,
And oh the things they did see.

By design or by fate,
From the boy grew the man,
And believing in magic,
Drew his comfort from what 
They called his deep faith
And perseverance.

All those around him
And the vast majority believed
In it too,
So much resembling dependent infancy 
I shudder. Shudder!

As a product of his time,
And of nurture, it appears,
He pushed on where his intellect
Showed him how to proceed
Without any invasive deities.

Wise . . .

https://www.123rf.com/photo_93081434_stock-vector-a-mature-cartoon-
wise-man-with-a-gray-beard-is-meditating-.html

He asked, what's considered 
The absolute prize.
Is it money or riches
Or beautiful eyes?
Has something eluded me
in attempts to surmise?
He said there are many
Who propose there are ties
To a mystical answer beyond.
What escapes them is really quite simple, but yet
Many fail to discover, it is to be wise.

More . . .

. . . Greed 

https://www.micahbales.com/scrooge-mcduck/

". . . (the recent disaster in Texas) was a result of (Texas Governor) Abbott’s Green Old Deal — prioritize the short-term profits of the oil, gas and coal industries, which provide him political campaign contributions; deny climate change; and dare Mother Nature to prove you wrong, which she did. And now Texas needs federal emergency funds. That is what we capitalists call “privatizing the gains and socializing the losses.” I don’t know what they call it in Texas. . ."


[. . . here at my house, we call it the actions of Greedy Bastards . . . ]

Travesty . . .

https://bucknellian.net/96468/satire/the-hush-heard-round-the-lib/
. . . details now learned about travesty we always knew

(from https://abcnews.go.com/US/claims-surrounding-malcolm-assassination-surface-letter-written-nypd/story?id=76031383&cid=clicksource_4380645_15_hero_headlines_bsq_hed)
". . . On Jan. 25, 2011, Ray Wood, who was serving as an undercover police officer on the day of Malcolm X's death, wrote a letter in which he admitted he "participated in actions that in hindsight were deplorable and detrimental to the advancement of my own black people. . . When Wood was hired by the NYPD in 1964, his job was to "infiltrate civil rights organizations" to find evidence of criminal activity so the FBI could discredit the subjects and arrest its leaders, Wood wrote in the letter obtained by ABC News. . . "It was my assignment to draw the two men into a felonious federal crime, so that they could be arrested by the FBI and kept away from managing Malcolm X's door security on February 21, 1965," Wood wrote. "... At that time I was not aware that Malcolm X was the target.". . . "

Witnesses. . .

 https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/ask-the-expert-swearing-on-the-bible/

. . . while U.S. Congress-persons of the Republican affiliation have had great difficulty with witnesses during the past four years [see Michael Cohen]. . . 

(from American Kompromat by Craig Unger)
". . .  in 1991, mobster John Gotti was being prosecuted by the feds, and the key wirness against him was underboss Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. Reliable? Honest? Truthful? Hardly. Gravano was a sociopathic killer who had confessed to nineteen murders. But his probity - or utter lack thereof - was irrelevant. The larger point was that he was there at the scene of the crime. He knew happened because he was present. Boy Scouts and choirboys might be ideal witnesses, but they are rarely on-site for mob whack jobs. Thugs like Gravano were. In the end, it was clear that Gravano was knowledgeable, and his testimony, once corroborated, was enough to convict Gotti. . ."

Asset? . . .

https://www.clipartmax.com/middle/m2i8d3i8b1m2A0Z5_at-thomson-
data-we-provide-sap-users-mailing-list-business-owner-icon/
(from American Kompromat by Craig Unger)
 ". . . on November 9, 2016, the day after Trumps election, the Russian newspaper Moskovy Komsomolets published a strange interview with Natalia Dubinina about her contacts with Trump in 1986 that, upon closer examination, appears to be an active measure intended to disguise the origins of Trump's ties to the KGB.  . . in September 1987, Donald Trump, allegedly a newly cultivated asset, took out full-page ads in the Washington Post, New York Times, and Boston Globe that had disseminated KGB talking points, an event that called for a celebratory memo to be circulated at First Chief Directorate's headquarters on the perimeter of Moscow . . ."
