Game of Feet to Fire (2/1/2021)

EndofADream (2/5/2021)

when people wonder "why" blah-blah-blah, they're not praying for "answers"

they're fit to be tied à la

my-wishes-come-true are my reward for believing blah-blah-blah therefore my-wishes better be come-true

to which I ask:

does that seem "true" to you?

that I am a doler of wishes?

or does that seem like a fantasy

that makes-believe

"your-wishes-come-true" are so-called "signs" of so-called "favor"?

if such transactional covenant were true

who would not believe whatever for such reward?

J A Gates (2/5/2021)

the dead are voiceless

the living wax the silent of silence

poetic lyrical fond - at rest at peace - joyful

when death is the last mercy

what indignity the bathos of fools

when death is the last justice

what lie rueless one more last time

ThornsWithoutPricks (2/5/2021)

"noble" is as dead as "moral"

where I live: neither lives

what lives and breathes instead?

blame

"media," "tech," "cancel" blah-blah-blah

because transactional covenants of "prosperity" are believed by people who believe whatever

the fool's game promises

Sneaker (2/6/2021)

succeeding at destroying what you are sworn to protect as servants of the people

in defense of

voters are for it

is obvi hella self-harmful

for voters are not "servants of the people" sworn to protect

and servants of the people are not "voices of the voters" to the exclusion of affirmed duties of elected office

thus servants and voters

miscall wrecking "patriotism" and "peace" and succeed at destroying both

LifeIsOfLife (2/6/2021)

only a fool believes Faustian bargains that game the "rules" and "laws" of consequences

are consequenceless

at one born a minute their numbers are millions by the first vote cast

NocturnalTwilight (2/6/2021)

whether you live and breathe in theocentry or prosopopoeia or orthodoxy or whatever

the fool's game promises

what cannot be magicked into nullity

is reality

TweetThis (2/6/2021)

your "states" as predatory as "cabals"

as righteous as righteous-in-name-only;

your "magnates" as dependent on multinational interests as "globalists"

as righteous as righteous-in-name-only;

your "personalities" as venal as "elites"

as righteous as righteous-in-name-only;

are you and yours

What are you and yours made of?

What are you and yours made of?

Feast famine anything to win.

Lies deceits recordless receipts.

That's what you and yours are made of.

All the Janus (4/20/21)

NeverTimidTilEnd (6/6/2021): "laws left to... interpretation" "[no] matter how just or fair... law is" {truncations mine}

regarding: laws and interpretation

isn't it funny-not-funny that all laws are subject to interpretation,

that insofar as interpretation is subjective, no law is objectively fair or just

such that the noblest aspiration of law is subjective fairness and justness,

rather than objective fairness and justness

such that if objective fairness and justness is neither humanly possible nor human -

is it possible for humans who are only human to "know" that which is so-called "divine law" and furthermore

to "know" what exactly and why exactly and how exactly -

such "law" that is not human is objectively fair and just?

I not only think "not" -

I know "not"

CrashingThroughTheThrashing (6/6/2021)

from "Janus" ideologies to "antediluvian" words

you've covered some ground

but look to the dust in your wake

Loopholes Here for Us (5/24/21)

Sneaker (6/1/2021): "invisible, cosmic being... prescribed... [what anyone could use] to get what they want" "you must... [not rob] them of... treasure... you... do not want them to have" {truncations mine}

nothing stands between humans who are only human and what's theirs

after all, "what's theirs" is "what they want"

because of course "what they want" is "what's theirs"

as for not them?

"what's theirs" is not theirs

because of course "what they want" is not theirs

unless you're them, then:

"what's yours" is "what you want"

because of course "what you want" is "what's yours"

because The invisible, cosmic being Made It So

No Big Deal Fantasy (10/13/21)

Sneaker (10/24/2021)

those who stand with outstretched finger: "Stop living your life afraid!" are those

afraid of death, afraid of judgment, afraid of what happens after life

they live

afraid of rule and order that is not their rule and their order;

afraid of people who are not their people;

afraid

and fearing nothing

that day is closer by the century, by the decade, by the hour

SifIsLovingNorway (10/27/2021) reply to above; "eye"

a "foolish man" who parts with his eye for "knowledge"

has no need for one or two or three

 

Ben Lewis (10/27/2021) reply to reply chain

the wise and the knowing, the wells and the tree, knew something a "foolish man" did not:

 knowledge is ignorance

without what was, what is, and what will be

Smalls (10/24/2021) "by and large, I have lived properly as a man", "by what I believed"

like syrup, outpouring from tongues accompanied by clinks of gold gain

I, friend, am no mark of yours, so soothed and bamboozled

AlphaCentauriOrBust (10/24/2021) "those that are willing", "by choice"

the minority are both:

all of us and none of us; the powerful and the powerless; the wealthy and the poor; the famous and the invisible; speaking of round robin by way of Parasite (tvfs)

if the minority were but one and not the other, they would flash in the pan and be done;

instead, they grievance

little fires everywhere, burning bright, lit and re-lit

for fear of light without flame and fire

SeeinTheMan (10/24/2021) "nothing more than an illusion"

the pillar I speak of herein is not "a pillar of salt in a bed of sand"

the pillar I speak of herein is a pair:

one of salt and one of sand

but you monger your "pillar of salt in a bed of sand"

because a shit-bought-and-swallowed-whole is the MRE-for-Karens you monger

SifIsLovingNorway (10/25/2021)

because judgment on Judgment Day is what we really believe, what we really know to be real, what we really care about;

because what we don't mean (that is, what we pretend and what we act and what we say) isn't held against us;

because that would be:

Rude! Unkind! Mean!

 

Deliruim (10/26/2021) "I, We, are doing nothing"

the riders?

the operators?

they're doing what they're hired to do, expected to do, handsomely appreciated to do, as heroes no less

life is costumed distraction, unrealness, fraud

MindingtheShop (10/26/2021) "the hardest language for most to speak"

as a speaker of truth and of babel

the shepherd cannot live the life of every sheep, for every sheep; the sheep live their own lives and decide, each sheep to its own; whether or not the shepherd who is trustworthy, is heard

or whether or not the wolf who is costumed, is

SofiaTheFirst (10/26/2021) "dreams"

is the juice worth the squeeze

for "dreams we have right to"? for "nightmares we are owed freedom from"?

when we're being juiced, we bury deeper than our see, the cost of the squeeze

after all, consequences are neither "priceless" nor "free"

NocturnalTwilight (10/27/2021) "common ground"

which are you?

EndofADream (10/27/2021) "the potential"

wouldn't it be something if the whales and the sparrows and the atoms and the mice,

spoke?

wouldn't it be something if the harpoons and the repellent and the bombs and the bait,

listened?

chrysopoeia (10/27/2021)

a paradox of civilization isn't solvable

by moral codes of conduct or ideological plays cooked by ideological playbooks or religious memberships and practices

so what are such codes and plays and practices for?

ThornsWithoutPricks (10/27/2021) "aggressor", "resist"

if there is more than one way to resist aggressors, then may all the ways of resistance, resist;

but if there is not, then may we see if "our way" enables and protects aggressors;

because when "our way" does not resist aggressors, "our way" is in the way

TistDC (10/28/2021) "keepers", "one of the greatest dangers"

would you exterminate them all, like Templars "adjudicated"? would it matter, real chivalric-knights and pretenders in bonfires of "justice"? or would the hunted be hunted, as matters of fidelity to inquisitors and executors?

ChumminWithMyFriends (10/28/2021) "the past 50 years"

KarenQueenOfTheRiver (11/6/2021) "insulted"

I've already addressed all your "points", not that you've sincerely made any. Furthermore, your "points" speak to pretensed ignorance of these addressals, as if none are for you. Such that I need not repeat myself. After all, only an idiot cannot hear your babel or see your babel. That such idiots in villages proliferate "here", does not make you queen of anything but pawns.

it is of note that "you can't go back"; that "what's done is done"; that "it is what it is";

After Words

Though there is much I could say, notwithstanding all and more I have already said and will yet say, not once do I speak not knowing

     after words there are consequences.

To speak therefore of innocence in the wake of consequences after speech and to speak therefore of defensible voids of foreknowledge of consequences after words

     begs disbelief.

Because of course consequences after speech are exactly why what is said is what is said and what is not said is what is not said. Or are our tits and tats nothing more than vacant vocables? Inactions exclamated without points? Huffs and puffs that blow neither winds nor somethings this way comes? Oh please.

As always, thank you for your patience and understanding as comments and responses are posted to this blog and this page.
