Snippets of the lyrics:

Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand?

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Words are meaningless
And forgettable

This image speaks to me...
For me, this image symbolizes sacrificing glory for cause.
I highly encourage everyone to do their research on Peter Norman.

Now what are the odds that out of Nives's endless pile of magazines I would find the one that had my name on the cover ? hmmm the universe has a great sense of humor.

I must admit that I imagine my collage as a vision board for my future Rolling Stones cover. This collage is a tiny glimpse into my mind...

My collage has pieces of images that are of importance to me. My family came to America in the 1970s. They lived in Chicago for many years before my Grandfather encouraged everyone to move to the Bay Area. He had big dreams of living out his artist life in San Francisco.

The Seawolf and the Seawolf living images are symbolic to my time at Sonoma State University. Go Seawolves ! I love imagining myself as a Seawolf emerging from the water.

I included the fine arts image as I am a painter, just like my Grandpa. ❤️

Additionally, I am a musical artist and plan to drop my album at the right time, when the stars align.

"On the Question of Race"                     Babylonia's Poem 

# data[].attributes.body
(in unison)

They ask me to check the box for

“race”

And I think

And think very seriously

Then I begin to imagine writing down my truth

The whole truth

And have my answer read

My skin ...

Brown and greener than a dollar

My face ...

My eyes flying wider than a saucer

It is like ...

Carmel on concrete

When I look at my face in the mirror, I see ...

Pieces of others before me

When you look at my face I want you to see ...

Your own reflection

(in unison)

But they didn’t ask me for “the whole truth”

They ask me to check the box for

My race

And I continue to think

And think very seriously

I imagine I am writing down my truth

And my answer will read like this.

I have ...

My mother of venus

A Babylonian priestess

Steering our ship to lands of gold

Weathering storms

Two hearts behold !

We have arrived

In the lands of gold

inside this body.

I have …

The spirit of my ancestors

The angelic guidance of my beloved family members who have passed

Fueling my fire

The smoke of my soul

rising higher and higher

inside this body.

(in unison)

They ask me to check the box for

My race

And I continue to think

And think very seriously

This is my truth

And my answer will be read like this.

I have ...

Nights at the drive-ins

Our Lexus had the best heater

It could cut through the cold

We weathered many storms in our Lexus

inside this body.

I have …

My prayers

The faith instilled in me

Filling me with hope

A Shining light of guidance

inside this body.

I have …

Memories of speaking Aramiac to my great grandmother

Blessed with her presence during her time in this realm

I still see her in my dreams

My beloved angels on every corner

I MUST live life to the fullest

inside this body.

(in unison)

These are my truths

I am …

Weird and wonderful

Strange and Unusual

Authentic and Romantic

Passionate about all things

I am …

My own knight and shining armor

I have...

An obligation to shine on the stage of life

I am the sweetest villain

inside this body.

(in unison)

I know my truths

Yet still they ask me to check the box for

My race

And there is no room for me to write my whole truth

So I simply “check all of the boxes that apply”

Latino or Hispanic

Middle Eastern or other

African American
