To rest my head when the nights get colder

Along which the intent prows wonderfully
Nose like lean hounds, and tack their journeys out,

Himself or bastion, little matter'd now:
His stubborn valour was no future shield.
Ismail's no more! The Crescent's silver bow
...

Fragrant breezes in the South
melt to melodies round small fires
mount tree limbs
with bodies black

CHEERFUL on this holiday,
Welcome we the merry May.

My wedded life
Must every pleasure bring
On scale extensive!

In times when princes cancelled nature's law,
And declarations which themselves did draw;
When children used their parents to dethrone,

inside a shack of tiny size.

It is a tall order to look the history of these institutions and their impact historically and currently on this country. But let's have a go nonetheless.

Let's start with first principles with some basic history and definitions:

After I had attended lectures
At our Chautauqua, and studied French
For twenty years, committing the grammar
Almost by heart,

Where the natives of Pa cluster like a swarm of flies.
How can I govern these people and lead them aright?
I cannot even understand what they say.

People were pouring in, everything was perfect,
The decorations were delightful, the food looked appetising,
The groom was handsome, and the bride was blushing,

How well he knew the wives of publicans,
come-hither smiles beneath the crumbling arches,
the lingering scent of unattended cunts.
He too was half mad, fond of <i>garum</i>, March's

It's a mystery to see me--a man o' fifty-four,
Who's lived a cross old bachelor fer thirty year' and more--

You never marveled, dullards of Spoon River,
When Chase Henry voted against the saloons
To revenge himself for being shut off.
But none of you was keen enough

People in this city come and go
Buildings walk away
Carried to the landfills

There is much pity when we see a beggar man
Others who see him and are filled with contempt
But if we were to see things their way if we can
It will not be anything like you have ever dreamt

So, you are smoking, drinking & doing drugs,
'That is right and I should not because'?
Our bodies are a Temple, to the Sanctuary of Christ,
They are only on loan due to His sacrifice.

I
The little one-room schoolhousc among the redwoods
Opened its door, a dozen children ran out
And saw on the narrow road between the dense trees

Call for amazed thoughts, a wounded sense
And bleeding Hearts at our Intelligence.
Call for that Trump of Death the Mandrakes Groan

The bible, usually thought of in religious terms actually has far more dimensions other than the religious one. The bible in 'Lilith, ' as well as in the NOVA special on these topics, makes the point that the document was written over hundreds of years, was and is, the attempt to institute a radically new kind of society, one which had been previously unknown in the world.

Conflict over the bible's religious aspects has obscured, its, perhaps, greatest contribution to Western thought-if not to world history-ideas revolving around egalitarianism, freedom, justice, moral righteousness, social organization and the place of hierarchies in human society.

An Irish family’s prince held the American Throne
He wished us to the moon before it all went to hell

Mother of plenty, daughter of the skies,
Sweet Peace, the troubl'd world's desire, arise;
Around thy poet weave thy summer shades,
...

Hangovers are a back-tax on fun.

To paraphrase T.S. Eliot:
'Can last night just belong to last night? '
...

A plain and simple ode (owed) for all
us middle class commoners-

Now, many of us wonder

Now Hillary is out the mix,
The Founding Fathers had idea back in 1776,

But, to grow it, to use it, the law says that I can't,

Though this plant was created by God, and Mother Nature.

Healthy patriotism flourishes only by religious harmony, democracy and unity;
To be so, corruption in all ways has to be eliminated in democratic countries;
Political corruption brings dishonest politicians to power to rule nation in bad way;
For that, people have to be careful in selecting candidates in elections forever!
