| Eso Terry Sings The Blues |
What I have to say today is based on a creative project I did, or should I say, found. I was cleaning up old media the other day and found a song I sang over twenty years ago called, "When Death Comes Knocking." It's a reminder that no matter what we have or who we think we are, there is no escaping it. And the thought came to me that the world leaders today seem to be oblivious of this fact by their actions of threatening nuclear war and starvation to get their way.
Then the thought came to me, "One of them will die in office before 2030." What if they knew this?
I ended the video with the song "Three Blind Mice" because the three major leaders, Trump, Putin, Xi, are definitely blind to this fact. On another note, no matter how much better they think they are than us, ha, ha, the joke is on them when death comes knocking.

| Tarquin the last King in Rome |
Let’s go back in time boys and girls, way back, back to the last time Trump's spirit might have appeared on our planet. The time was around 534 years BCE in Ancient Rome when King Tarquin’s misuse of power brought down the monarchy system and gave Rome its first Republic. You see, King Tarquin already had a reputation of unsavory character when he seized the throne by murdering his predecessor, King Servius Tullius. As new ruler, King Tarquin, “on day one,” arrested a number of patricians on phony charges so he could take their wealthy estates for himself. This greediness alienated many in the country, but until his son, Sextus, raped the wife of the noted patriot Lucius Tarquinius Collatinus, no one did anything about it. Eventually, however, the patriot of the day along with other leading nobleman, locked Tarquin and his disturbed children out of the city and dissolved his kingship.

| First King Tarquin Now Trump |
The Roman fathers then proceeded to create a completely new kind of government, one based on the wishes and votes of the common citizen. Yes, a true democracy.
