The Sun Magazine is a reader-supported publication with no advertisements and only black and white photos.  The writing is powerful and moving as well as being entertaining, amusing and mind-expanding. It is something I would recommend to anyone who is disgusted with the periodicals of today:  crammed with air-brushed photos and slick ads targeting uber-consumerism.  It has existed on a shoestring budget for over 30 years and has been the most life-changing read I've come across.

 A Day and Night in Civilization



This world as any before; existence primeval

A test of ability; contest of gladiators

Ancient coliseum; modern arena

Stripped naked; boiled down

It’s all the same

Survival of the adaptors

Power of change to recreate the animal

Mercenaries all are we

Grapple, grab, assert; exhibitors of gain

This negative progression cannot compare

A knife wound is welcome happy relief



“Go ahead, read the small print; no!

the finer print; half that size

Now you understand"
