Kaziah the Goat Woman
29,710 views
On her countryside farm at the base of a mountain in Utah, Kaziah raises goats. And paints. "I paint people I can relate to and the wildlife and countryside I love," the 58 year old says. In 2002, Kaziah sent a note to a Gloria Johnson to see if she could do a portrait of her son, an Army private who died in an ambush in Iraq. Gloria agreed, and Kaziah's portrait moved her to tears. Kaziah continued her humanitarian experiment -- without taking any political sides -- and today, more than 250 portraits later, she's still at it. Oh, and she doesn't sell her art; she gifts it!

"Education"
'Education' Sir or Madam if you look up the meaning,
Is a systematic learning that began in your childhood
And 'system' if you look it up which 'educated' you'd not do,
Is how to make each idiot a replica of you!
So this is why you are an educated sheep,
And not a giddy mountain goat
If you care to look it up
You'll see why goats can gloat!
Well done Kaziah maybe a little goaty paraph to keep your sense of humour going strong forever!
