Chaos - Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin (1906)
In these days of chaos and doubt,
Don't listen to the loudest shout.
Listen to the whisper within.
Don't buy the lie they tout.
Don't listen to them shout.
Listen to the whisper within.
Reject the agenda.
Swim against the stream.
Stand on your own.
Don't listen to them shout.
Listen to the whisper within.
So the emperor 'has new clothes' -
But you can see his naked skin?
Don't listen to them shout.
Listen to the whisper within.
Better to stand alone than sell your soul.
Stand firm.
Don't listen to them shout.
Listen to the whisper within.
The Whisper - Charles Blackman
Thank you for your support of Through the Looking Glass and for being a patron of science and the arts.
Best wishes!
“Only art and science make us suspect the existence of life to a higher level, and maybe also instill hope thereof.”
