Rudolph Valentino’s funeral cost $11,087.10 and this document proves it was paid in full by his trusted, closest friend and tireless business manager, S. George Ullman. I cite this document to the Frank E. Campbell’s Funeral Church Rudolph Valentino archives and photo is courtesy of the collection of yours truly.��

In the Ashes of Words

2014

Love, honor, faith—mere echoes, God and sacrifice, shadows fading in dust. Once sacred syllables now tossed aside, No one cares, no one dares, Belief has burned in the heat of despair. Why bother? Why speak when the world no longer listens?

Evil seeps like ink through veins, People—hypocrites cloaked in daylight, Lies lurk behind every smile, Deception dances in every handshake. Diplomacy, democracy—hollow words, Liberty, justice, a mirage that vanishes at touch.

Honesty, integrity, freedom, Faded relics in a museum of the mind, Extinct as fossils in a land of greed, The world spins, broken, blind, Marching towards its own undoing.

Is this the end we race towards? An apocalypse of hearts and souls, Where the ruins of our truths Lie buried beneath the weight of our silence?
