ZOMBIES:

ALIVE, YET DEAD.
THEY EAT FLESH.
THEY BREATHE THE AIR.
THEY WALK UPON THE EARTH.
THeiR BODIES DIE: YET THEY LIVE.
THEY DO NOT REMEMBER WHO THEY ARE.
THEY GO TO WORK, PAY TAXES, MAKE BABIES, LIVE, DIE.
THEY RISE FROM THE DEAD AND LIVE AGAIN, AND AGAIN.
THEY NEVER QUESTION WHO THEY ARE, WHERE, OR WHY.
THEY OBEY, FOLLOW LEADERS. DULL, MINDLESS CREATURES.
GO TO CHURCH, VOTE FOR CANDIDATES: REGRET THeiR LIvEs.
A NORMAL HOMO SAPIENS: AGREE. AGREE. AGREE. AGREE. AGREE.

VOICE OF GOD

About the painting:  “Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses” is an oil painting in the Pre-Raphaelite style by John William Waterhouse that was created in 1891.  The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, the sorceress Circe offering Odysseus a cup containing a potion with which she seeks to bring him under her spell as she has his crew.

In Greek mythology, Circe (pronounced “Keer-keeh” “falcon”) is a minor goddess of magic (or sometimes a nymph, witch, enchantress or sorceress).  By most accounts, Circe was the daughter of Helios, the god of the sun, and Perse, an Oceanid. Her brothers were Aeetes, the keeper of the Golden Fleece and Perses, and her sister was Pasiphaë, the wife of King Minos and mother of the Minotaur. Other accounts make her the daughter of Hecate.  Circe was renowned for her vast knowledge of drugs and herbs. Through the use of magical potions and a wand she transformed her enemies, or those who offended her, into animals.
