It is so easy
For to much of humanity
To brag and boast
About longevity
The conflicts of religion
The conflicts of economics
The conflicts of ideology
All mean the same thing
"I am right"
"I know how to control"
"I can find resources"
Despite it is all bullshit
'THOUGH logic-choppers rule the town,
And every man and maid and boy
Has marked a distant object down,
An aimless joy is a pure joy,'
Or so did Tom O'Roughley say
That saw the surges running by.
'And wisdom is a butterfly
And not a gloomy bird of prey.
'If little planned is little sinned
But little need the grave distress.
What's dying but a second wind?
How but in zig-zag wantonness
Could trumpeter Michael be so brave?'
Or something of that sort he said,
'And if my dearest friend were dead
I'd dance a measure on his grave.'
William Butler Yeats

Have a Snickers.
It's packed with peanuts!
GEEEZE if you are going to imply I am a raving lunatic don't offer me a Snickers, offer me a an ABBA song.
I was only implying that you were hungry, not a raving loon.
Lol...Haven't you seen those Snickers commercials?

That’s because it’s not a poem.
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
Wiser words were never spoken.

Desert island disks.
A pair of these:
£7999.00.
And a sack full of these:
Feed me to the sharks.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

As Matt Damon said to Jessica Chastain in "The Martian", "FUCK DISCO". (It was in the extras on the extended version.)

I quite like Jessica Chastain. She looks like Bryce Dallas Howard having a slightly better day.

None Of Us Have Control, By Brian37
Oh sure we do
Tie our own shoes
Wipe our own asses
Go to college too
We can manage
And certainly do
Some move up
Others get by
But as far as time
Only a fool
Thinks
We eternally survive
Life is finite
No matter the class
No matter religion
No matter our status
We've always been
The same species
No matter our outcome
We take our last breath
To do our best
As a species
It would seem better
If only if
Collectively
More of humanity
Would only see
We are the same species.

I have seen those commercials before, and thus my response.
If you want me to be myself, an ABBA song is what satisfies my hunger.
And FYI Betty White kicks ass!

Earwax, by Me
Washing silverware by hand
Isn't nearly as much fun
As shoving acorns
Up a rhino's bum.
I once threw shit
Into a fan,
Just to see what
All the fuss was about.
I am kind of nostalgic
For bar soap, because
More and more,
Soap comes in bottles.
Despair not, good sir!
I hear that they are still
Making films
That aren't sequels.
Dewdrops, dewlaps,
Dugongs, do-wha-diddy
Forever chiming
In the wind.
I wonder how much
Differently we would view
The ontological argument
If Freddie Mercury was still alive.
Hey nonny nonny and a ha-cha-cha.

I highly doubt
Mercury
Or the likes
Of Malala's view
Or that of any
Minority
Would value
Such shallow spew
Why cant you
Or anyone else
Value the one life
All of us help?
Divide I will admit
The majority task
Tribalism unfortunately
Our task
But what is our species
Final path
Self destruction
Or cooperation
it most certianly
Is our vision
Needless conflict
Or cooperation.
