What about the injured-- Lives never be the same. What about civilians-- Ordinary mums and dads, And all the little children Burnt by bombs? You thought Saddam Just a sitting duck. All those weapons?

About this Blog

Courtjester, an art historian, currently studying satire in Netherlandish art, an amateur photographer, and occasional writer, writes here about art, photography, and the human condition. I also write ekphratic poetry--that is imaginative, poetic responses to works of visual art, conceived as a form of art responding to art. I welcome dialog about art, photography, human behavior, beliefs, and motivation from all-comers, regardless of race, color, gender, orientation, values, or beliefs. This is to be a site for words and images, as vehicles of human expression, around topics of mutual interest.
