Music makes the World go round...

Greetings to All Peace loving citizens of the World!

My given name does not matter here in the virtual. But you may call me Papa or Tony or whatever you like. I choose to be just another "Ghost writer/artist" on this platform simply for the same reason that insanity and judgement seem to prevail in these here uncertain times. Frankly, I don't need nor care to address the Drama.  I'm sure if things don't change for the better, I'll have to choose sides when the time comes.  Honestly not looking forward to that but if 'Lock and Load' I must... so be it.

In the meantime, All are welcomed to view my works and comment with constructive criticism as you so decide. However, Trolls and Wokians need not apply.

I like to consider myself blessed to be born in the good ol days of a happier, more carefree time when we played in seemingly safe streets and lost ourselves in creative make-believe games when boys who would be boys and girls as girls enjoyed the freedoms granted to us. Identity politics and compromised patriotism to God, flag and country was unheard of. Racism and hate, although very much alive in the dark closets of the world, was reviled by every skin color who despised the idea. No matter what culture or creed, WE ALL strived to get along.

I lived in a world where freedom of speech and critical thinking for ourselves was encouraged. Making wrong choices meant taking responsibility and accepting the consequences for our actions. There were no slaps on the wrist, only just punishments. Seems neighbors watched out for each other.

For the most part, there were no media deceptions with propaganda, only honest unbiased reporting. Govt. was more geared for helping people rather than themselves, or so the liars claimed. Yes, corruption was present, but again,the only people embracing the evil were the evil ones themselves. As it was then, so it is today.

 Aside from all the BS though,  Sometimes I just wish I would have saw an end to my life "back in the good old days). Yet my compassion for the hurting hits me deep so I try to keep my head above the fray, and I have to constantly remind myself, things can be much worse and I am truly blessed to live in this Free country called America.

Now it seems, I wake each day to a clown world that just makes no sense to me as I just try to get along with anyone and everyone with peace and understanding. It's not an easy task.

I just want to live the rest of my life enjoying the little things that bring me comfort. A nice chill glass of OJ, Listening to the music that moves me, Writing, and creating my own brand of art is my comfort. I am by no means an accomplished artist like so many here, but I do get a small thrill  when someone might actually like the work I produce, and it really tickles me that some might  find it worthy of favoring it for thier own personal collection.

For that, I thank those of you who do so.

All I want when Im online is to 'smoke' my 'sweet wax', crank the music and be at peace. How about you?

So while here visiting my works and/or writings, Please, do so with and open mind. I appreciate and I thank you. Peace and Blessings to all!  Enjoy.
