Kestrel
Acceptance hinging upon rejection
Amused by this mute toleration
A kestrel perched upon a signpost
In front of the house of god
Across the street from his golden bull
Where souls are bought and sold
Faith foully flowering into financial gain
Faddish falsehoods and all other hype
Or to...
Within this divided nation you must live
Burdened by the homage you are expected to give
As they resume their quarrel after saluting Old Glory
Horns blowing, blue and red banners flying
Ever at odds while their nation is rapidly dying
A sad enough ending for an even sadder story
Throw your...
Ancient as they are, I'm always struck by the Appalachians beauty. Then I think of my Shawnee ancestors who once lived in the Shenandoah Valley and the other tribes of these ancient mountains, The Catawba, Cherokee, Minqua and Yuchi. No doubt these tribal people loved the Appalachians up until...

Do I have to chant or swear a secret oath beforehand ? Will there be ring kissing involved, or maybe some glory singing like Dennis Hopper's character in Apocalypse Now ?
"We shall see" Tell me Revoltingest, when you say...
Gee that's great, Revoltingest. You must be very proud. So many people working to get ahead, but not cutting it. Surely a success story made possible by intuition coupled with ambition.
Bartending ? Wow ! That requires a lot of skill. Some people have to go to bartending school to become a...
Organized workers are detrimental to these CEO fat kats. Instead they promote a competitive workplace environment. Such an environment has an ever revolving door. Those who work their arses off while holding on to that shred of hope for advancement by outworking his or her co-workers, thus...
What is prohibited by those who make and keep the laws or rules of such a deviant capitalistic society ? Behaviors that are deemed detrimental to the interests of the powerful bourgeoisie upper ruling class. Although such laws or rules are set for all to abide, the bourgeoisie are rarely...
I went to a virtual tavern once in another such realm. It was filled with movie stars and secret agents. Of course it could not compare to having a real pint of ale served across a real hardwood bar.
