White people conquered the world for spices and don’t even use them. The whole world for some shit, they ended up not wanting. White people got that drive, man. That’s why they be climbing mountains and diving outta planes. They ride for whatever.

Evening Gatha
Let me respectfully remind you —
Life and death are of supreme importance.
Time swiftly passes by, and opportunity is lost.
Each of us should strive to awaken……..
…. awaken.
Take heed. Do not squander your life.

may my heart always be open to little birds who are the secrets of living whatever they sing is better than to know and if men should not hear them men are old
may my mind stroll about hungry and fearless and thirsty and supple and even if it’s sunday may i be wrong for whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefully and love yourself so more than truly ...

the great advantage of being alive
the great advantage of being alive (instead of undying) is not so much that mind no more can disprove than prove what heart may feel and soul may touch —the great(my darling)happens to be that love are in we,that love are in we
and here is a secret they never will share for whom create is less than have or one times one than when times where— that we are in love,that we are in...

since feeling is first who pays any attention to the syntax of things will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool while Spring is in the world
my blood approves, and kisses are a better fate than wisdom lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry - the best gesture of my brain is less than your eyelids’ flutter which says
we are for each other; then laugh, leaning back in...

love is more thicker than forget
love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
it is most mad and moonly and less it shall unbe than all the sea which only is deeper than the sea
love is less always than to win less never than alive less bigger than the least begin less littler than forgive
it is most sane and sunly and more it cannot die than all...

it is so long since my heart has been with yours
it is so long since my heart has been with yours
shut by our mingling arms through a darkness where new lights begin and increase, since your mind has walked into my kiss as a stranger into the streets and colours of a town—
that i have perhaps forgotten how, always(from these hurrying crudities of blood and flesh)Love coins His most gradual gesture,

you shall above all things be glad and young
you shall above all things be glad and young.
For if you’re young, whatever life you wear
it will become you;and if you are glad whatever’s living will yourself become. Girlboys may nothing more than boygirls need: i can entirely her only love.
whose any mystery makes every man’s flesh put space on;and his mind take off time
that you should ever think, may god forbid and...

socialuprooting:
One of the more extreme government abuses of the post-9/11 era targets U.S. citizens re-entering their own country, and it has received far too little attention. With no oversight or legal framework whatsoever, the Department of Homeland Security routinely singles out individuals who are suspected of no crimes, detains them and questions them at the airport, often for hours,...

"Nigger"
lebanesepoppyseed:
The thing about the word “Nigger” that we’re coming to realize with Rick Santorum’s telling slip-of-tongue is how it truly operates.
Nigger is not, like people commonly believe, just a rude way of referring to a black person. It isn’t simply a bastardization of the Spanish “Negro”.
It is a leveler. An oral devastation of sorts. A place-putting, a head-bower.
I truly...

I love:
1. The avoidance of the artificial shapings of stupid plot.
2. The way you depict a reality beneath, beyond, separate from words, thoughts, dialogue. Your characters hardly talk at all, and when they do talk, they don’t say anything that matters. That’s wonderful! That’s like life.
Can you provide some context for this post? Who is it concerning? Who is Carney talking...

President Obama’s most swooning supporters love to credit him with “ending the war in Iraq,” but that is simply not what happened. It was President Bush who entered into an agreement with the Iraqi government mandating the removal of all US forces by the end of 2011. Rather than comply with that agreement, the Obama administration tried desperately to persuade and pressure the...
