Martin Luther, ticked off, wrote 95 complaints (theses) against the Catholic hierarchy and nailed them on a church door in Wittenberg, Germany.
Inspired by a Christian satirical group, Wittenburg Door, I used a different name. My inspiration also comes from my own experience when I set foot on the very spot where Martin Luther spoke truth to power by telling the hierarchy, "Here I stand." Suzanne, son Mike and I lived in Heidelberg at the time.
Like the Hippies in the 1960s, I want to speak truth to power. Do you? Too often, people want to snuggle up to power, overlooking incompetencies and falsehoods. Yes, I've been guilty as charged. Time to make a change. But I don't want to be known as a Rambo rambler. I hope to persuade with beguiling and seductive prose and verse. I appoint you as judge. You can decide if I succeeded.
