A Painting and Poem by Janet Mego –
Global Warming With Crows: Janet Mego
Hurt feelings.
Cancer.
Never knowing
What’s the answer.
Highway 43: rush hour
Politicians: too much power.
Record Heat
Spoiled meat
Tax breaks available to
The Elite
Severe depression
Textbook obsession
Making it on time to
Your next session
Climate change
World War III
Smog, fear, and pestilence
It all comes for free.
So call up some moments
Watch the blackbirds
Sing some colors
Paint some words
Weave a premonition
Crochet a dream
Attach two passions
With only one seam
Pick up the planet
Hold it aloft
It’s not that hard.
In fact, it’s soft.
1. Mix up your batter.
2. Pour it out.
3. Bake.
And when it’s cooled off
Eat your yummy earth cake.

Before you continue, I’d like to ask if you could support our independent journalism as we head into one of the most critical news periods of our time in 2024.
The New American Journal is deeply dedicated to uncovering the escalating threats to our democracy and holding those in power accountable. With a turbulent presidential race and the possibility of an even more extreme Trump presidency on the horizon, the need for independent, credible journalism that emphasizes the importance of the upcoming election for our nation and planet has never been greater.
However, a small group of billionaire owners control a significant portion of the information that reaches the public. We are different. We don’t have a billionaire owner or shareholders. Our journalism is created to serve the public interest, not to generate profit. Unlike much of the U.S. media, which often falls into the trap of false equivalence in the name of neutrality, we strive to highlight the lies of powerful individuals and institutions, showing how misinformation and demagoguery can harm democracy.
Our journalists provide context, investigate, and bring to light the critical stories of our time, from election integrity threats to the worsening climate crisis and complex international conflicts. As a news organization with a strong voice, we offer a unique, outsider perspective that is often missing in American media.
Thanks to our unique reader-supported model, you can access the New American journal without encountering a paywall. This is possible because of readers like you. Your support keeps us independent, free from external influences, and accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay for news.
Please help if you can.
American journalists need your help more than ever as forces amass against the free press and democracy itself. We must not let the crypto-fascists and the AI bots take over.

Don't forget to listen to the new song and video.
Just because we are not featured on cable TV news talk shows, or TikTok videos, does not mean we are not getting out there in search engines and social media sites. We consistently get over a million hits a month.
