“They are sending billionaires and pop stars into space while the planet burns and Americans ration their insulin / There are companies marketing AI lovers to lonely people and harvesting their data / Last night Israel bombed a tent camp in Gaza, and women and children burned alive / This is a strange, dark place; Strange, dark times in a strange, dark world / Light a candle for those who have died / Light a candle for those who are dead inside / Light a candle for those with algorithms in their eyes / Light a candle for those with AI in their souls / Light a candle for the screaming red children / Light a candle for the silent gray children / Light a candle for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch / Light a candle for the songs of the whales / Light a candle for the hearts like cast lead / Light a candle for the hearts like wallaby roadkill …” (04/17/25)
