The Light / The Light / Do you see the light? / Squint — squint some more. Ahh! Yes, I see it now / Finally! / It is so bright. / Like liquid flames dancing in my head / Its long elegant fingers are beckoning me to come to it / To come closer still Should I go to it? / I am afraid. / Should I bathe my soul in its purity? Do not be afraid. / Do not run from it. / Do not hesitate. / Do not draw back from it. / Go to it now. / Your only chance to bask in its warmth / Dance it its glorious ecstasy / And cleanse your soul / Just like I did, a long time ago / Paul Alleyne 12/08/07 ” Using Photoshop CS2, I merged 5 digital photo images, partially edited then cropped and positioned each image alongside or on top of another image to form this one surrealist image, which along with the written words representing renewal of spirit, with hope for the future.”

Come. Travel with me down this dark lonely road / This is the road to Valhala / This road littered with 50 million corpse of young brave, / forced to fight wars waged by greedy, power-hungry, old worthless men / Let us honor these young men, / who sacrificed so much / Let us worship them, / who lived true and died brave, / as they rest their broken bodies on this dark, lonely road to Valhala. Paul Alleyne 08/22/08

They say change is coming! It comes / Like a thief in the darkest of nights / Or, a hurricane whenever it pleases; / knocking you down, / creating fear in your heart / and doubt in your mind The only change I see / is what’s in my hands / And, I can’t buy bread with it anymore. What change? !! / A combination of 3 digital images merged and edited to create a surreal atmospheric event. Also supports the poem written before the image was created.

Compiled elements are fused together using photoshop CS2 to creative image.

No sense of smell / No sense of taste / No eyes to see / Or, ability to hear I have lost my Vision / I am locked in darkness / No light / No way out / No one to hear my pleas / I must find my own way out of this mental trap To see again / To hear / To smell / To taste / Restoring my vision is what sustains my life.

“Badges?... We don’t need no… stinkin’ badges!” is one of the most frequently quoted, misquoted, and parodied movie quotations in history. In 2005, it was chosen as #36 on the American Film Institute list, AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movie The original quotation comes from the 1948 film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre with Humphrey Bogart. In one of the scenes in the movie a Mexican bandit leader (Gold Hat played by Alfonso Bedoya) is trying to convince Fred C Dobbs (played by Bogart) and company that they are the Federales. / Dobbs: ‘If you’re the police where are your badges?’ / Gold Hat: ‘Badges? We ain’t got no badges. We don’t need no badges! I don’t have to show you any stinkin’ badges!’[1] / This in turn was adapted from B Traven’s 1927 novel upon which the movie was based: “All right,” Curtain shouted back. “If you are the police, where are your badges? Let’s see them.” “Badges, to god-damned hell with badges! We have no badges. In fact, we don’t need badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges, you god-damned cabrón and ching’ tu madre! Come out from that shit-hole of yours. I have to speak to you.”
