What is Velvetillusion Literary Magazine? VELVETILLUSION is more than meets the eye. Read this page and be amazed.

In a world racked by possessive individualism, cruelty, violence, ambition, suffering and disappointment, this Internet magazine features creative essays for social impact; emotive poetry; and short fiction for entertainment. Our aim is to be a forum against racism, sexism, speciesism and the destruction of the environment.

John Locke (1632-1704) wrote his Second Treatise of Government (1698), to justify resistance to Charles II over the right of succession to the throne. It became dogma for the Whig Revolution of 1688 in which James II was dethroned and replaced by William and Mary. A century later, this doctrine backed by all Locke's prestige was neatly and quite properly turned against the British state by the American colonists. The tyrannical monarchy of King George was deposed and replaced with the democratic American Constitution and its corresponding Bill of Rights.

The landscape has changed since the days of John Locke. Civil revolt has evolved into global activism. At 'VELVETILLUION Literary Magazine' we support free speech and privacy as defined by the American Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to protection of the law against such interference or attacks."
--Article 12 Universal Declaration of Human Rights

We encourage our readers to use peaceful means to campaign against social injustices wherever they occur.

Yours faithfully,
R. A. Bolden, publisher

It's about forward thinking which is often considerably better than backwards thinking
