of controversial artists

Reflecting on resentment
Never touched my fire

All the earth and all the dirt
Blind to the surface

Exposed to humans

Once there was a man
He was humbly independent
One year he had a modest harvest
His barn was half full
His hungry neighbors asked for some
He gave what he could
Everyone had enough food

Once there was a man
He was proudly liberal
One year he had a small harvest
His barn was mostly empty
His hungry neighbors asked for some
He was very generous
He went hungry

Once there was a man
He was proudly conservative
One year he had a large harvest
He filled his barn with grain
His hungry neighbors asked for some
He refused so he could conserve
He had so much most of it rotted

Who is John Galt? the
one Zen statement Ayn Rand made
and the moment her
narcisstic world
view of Capitalism
transcended herself
I do think her view
is the side of the same coin
as Dialectical Materialism
but it has some good points
but only for certain seasons
of history

Does anyone else here fantasize about Trump being anally raped by a pack of rabid kangaroos or is that just me?
by Anonymous Poet
Old age is freedom.
Embarrassment vanishes.
Just as farts diffuse.
Digging for boogers.
Loudly farting and laughing.
Coffee shop annoyance.
You may think it's gross.
But it keeps the wife away.
And thus I have peace.

Sometimes I think about a person
I haven't seen in years
Then about a day later I see them
Sometimes it's awkward
Sometimes it's nice
Sometimes both
Memory flows tidally
I've got my eye on the moon
She never lets me down
I love her

Who needs belief
When you have direct experience
I have food you don't know about
Had to go out on the roof to get it
Tripped but I didn't fall
I flew
Saw things from above
Still stuck down here though

Can't help it
My ancestors were genocidal
Like father like son
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Unless planted on a hill
But I think I'll be peaceful
Vote for me
I probably won't kill everyone
That'll be my campaign slogan
"I PROBABLY WON'T KILL EVERYONE"

Get it?
Is this thing on?!

100,000 tons of plastic in the ocean
Missionaries told me they don't care
God will take care of it
Even though He told the first father
Replenish the earth
Maybe they were actually Satanists
And are oblivious
Don't worry God WILL take care of it

Supersonic tsunami
