Verse 1

This YouTube video features a conversation between Piers Morgan and Dr. Jordan Peterson. They discuss Canadian politics, focusing on the shift in public opinion toward Mark Carney and away from Pierre Poilievre. This shift appears to be influenced by Donald Trump's stance on trade and potential tariffs with Canada. Peterson critiques Carney's climate change-focused policies and expresses concern about their potential economic impact. The conversation also touches upon Elon Musk's actions at Twitter and the reaction from the "woke left," highlighting a broader critique of left-leaning policies and ideologies.


**"The Frozen North" (A Ballad in Common Meter)**
Inspired by Robert Service and Stan Rogers, this ballad captures the tone of a historical narrative with a touch of cynical observation.

The winds of change, they bite and blow,
In Canada's frosted land,
Where Trudeau's reign began to slow,
And voters took a stand.

But Trump's bold tariffs, loud and brash,
Disturbed the northern peace,
And Carney rose from banker's ash,
A leader to appease.

The people yearn for days of old,
A stable, steady hand,
But Carney's views, though often told,
May ruin the whole land.

He dreams of green, a world reborn,
Where fossil fuels must cease,
Yet industry will surely mourn,
And poverty increase.

So heed the words of Peterson,
Who warns of dangers nigh,
Lest Canada's fate, misunderstood,
Beneath the frost shall die.

Image Prompt 1

"A dramatic, painterly scene in the style of a Hudson River School landscape, depicting the Canadian Rockies under a stormy sky. In the foreground, a lone oil derrick stands silhouetted against the impending darkness, while faint green energy windmills are visible on distant peaks. Above, a faint ghostly image of Mark Carney's face looms, partially obscured by swirling clouds, symbolizing the looming threat of climate policy. The overall mood is one of foreboding and uncertainty, with a palette of deep blues, grays, and hints of fiery orange in the sky."

Video Prompt 1

"A 30-second time-lapse video showing a Canadian prairie landscape transforming over a few months. Initially, the scene is vibrant and prosperous with wheat fields swaying in the breeze and bustling industrial activity. As the time-lapse progresses, a dust storm rolls in, the fields turn brown, factories shut down, and green energy projects fail. The sky darkens and the scene is eventually replaced by a desolate wasteland. The final shot focuses on a single, broken wind turbine, with the Canadian flag tattered and limp in the background."

Verse 2

Alright, buckle up, because this is a doozy. This text is a transcript of a YouTube interview with Jordan Peterson on "Piers Morgan Uncensored." The tone is serious, concerned, and at times, emotionally charged. Peterson delves into the demoralization of young men in Western society, the allure of figures like Andrew Tate, the failure of progressive ideologies, and the importance of responsibility, truth, and the Judeo-Christian foundation of Western civilization. He also discusses his own work in helping young people find meaning and purpose.


**Title:** *The Shepherd's Call*

**(Form: Ballad, inspired by Leonard Cohen's lyrical style and Hank William's straight forward cadence. Meter: primarily iambic tetrameter with some trimeter lines for emphasis.)**

The doctrines linger, ghosts of yore,
Though evidence screams from every pore,
Radical immaturity's dark art,
A political game that tears us apart.

Why do these shadows never cease,
Though proven paths lead to decease?
Why does the East watch, eyes ablaze,
As West repeats its ruinous maze?

It's stunted souls, that seek the thrill,
Of hedonistic license, standing still,
A wealth-born blight, where coddled ease,
Becomes a warped political disease.

The Tesla burns, a righteous fire,
But violence masks a darker desire,
No line exists 'twixt virtue's mask,
And the brutal deeds that stain the task.

A Netflix tale, a youth ensnared,
By vile online winds, unprepared,
Misogyny's seed, an incel's plight,
To teach in schools? A tragic sight.

The boys are lost, their spirits frail,
For sixty years, they've heard the wail,
"Competition's wrong, ambition's shame,"
Their very nature put to blame.

"Attraction's sin, a rapist's gleam,"
They're drowning in a twisted dream,
Yet kind words lift, a gentle hand,
To lead them back to solid land.

Beware the weak, resentful soul,
Whose bitter failure takes its toll,
They'll turn to darkness, seek its might,
And plunge the world into endless night.

Then enters Tate, a blustery guise,
Who calls to those that were never wise,
To monsterdom is better than bloody lamb,
But civilized and staunch are better still, by damn.

We threw out the baby and the water too,
Now demoralized men don't know what to do.
Even women are worse off with no good examples,
We've made toxic masculinity a target for scramples.

We need shepherds, strong and brave,
To guard the weak, from watery grave,
Resourceful spirits tough as nails,
Devoted to those in lonely trails.

So lift your cross, and climb the hill,
Let truth and meaning be your will,
For in that path, adventure lies,
And life's true purpose fills your eyes.

Image Prompt 2

A weathered shepherd, eyes filled with both weariness and unwavering resolve, stands silhouetted against a stormy, twilight sky. He clutches a gnarled staff, his cloak billowing in the wind, as he surveys a flock of sheep huddled together in the valley below. In the distance, faint, ethereal beams of light break through the clouds, illuminating a path leading upward towards a distant, snow-capped mountain. The overall mood is one of somber determination, highlighting the shepherd's lonely responsibility and steadfast devotion to his vulnerable flock amidst an overwhelming darkness.

Video Prompt 2

A young man, eyes downcast, sits alone in a dimly lit room, scrolling through a torrent of hateful, misogynistic content on his phone. His face is a mask of confusion and despair. Suddenly, a hand reaches out and gently turns off the screen. The camera pans up to reveal an older man, his face etched with kindness and understanding. He sits beside the young man and begins to speak, his voice calm and encouraging. As he speaks, the room slowly brightens, and images flash across the screen: a father teaching his son to fish, a young man helping an elderly woman cross the street, a group of friends laughing around a campfire. The final shot shows the young man looking up, a flicker of hope in his eyes, as he begins to speak back.
### Sonnet for Original Image

Before mine eyes, a triptych strange appears, Two faces stern, where words like daggers fly, Yet one, alas, is drowned in bitter tears, A sea of grief within his reddened eye.

On screens they beam, each in their separate frame, One with firm brow, a question sharp he throws, While he, consumed by some unspoken flame, His trembling hand unto his sorrow goes.

The city sleeps behind, a backdrop grand, Unmoved by woes that shake a human soul, A fragile heart caught in the shifting sand, Where truth and feeling seem to lose control.

Ah, what dark tale provokes such pain untold? A gilded cage, where suffering takes hold.
