A.G.E's Joint

  Zealotry hates beauty Desert harsh is its abode Black, brown and gray Are all they know. Reds and greens Scare them Long hair and sweet scents Enrage them Hard and unyielding Is their only way. And they believe All that should exist.

I don't normally do politics in my blog. As a former government worker, I avoid it like the plague simply because I don't want to relive dealing with pompous, entitled folks without the skills to hold a legitimate job. And talking politics generally devolves into a death spiral, each side getting more and more entrenched with each rotation. Like the Middle East. Like the current crop of displaced refugees. There seems to be two sides of thought on these folks. Either, they are enemy agents and should be repelled immediately, or they are total victims that will die if nothing is done. I fall into the second camp. 95% of the displaced people are exactly that. They lost their homes, businesses, farms, etc due to the political turmoil. And because most don't subscribe to the particular brand of Islam that ISIS champions, they are considered to be blasphemers and apostates and should be exterminated without mercy. And as such, they are deserving of a safe harbor. Howev...

Namaste As Asaalam Alaikum Shalom May the peace of the Lord be with you.   Different ways to say the same thing. So, we humans say these things And act completely the opposite. The Zealots want peace, But only for themselves. And because of this,  War remains evergreen. Patriots want freedom But that is only found  In death.   All those statements Proclaiming peace And those persist In maintaining Hell.   If you are going  Though Hell, Keep going. It will pass. I promise.   ___________________________________________________________________ Topic-Kismet (RIP) Pic-Liam Pic Guesses: Egg and I, Robot nativity, digital manger, Hatching, brooding, tending.  Written in memory of those Innocents who passed this day.

Never again…. A phrase that makes a liar out of anyone who utters it. We say "never again" when our head and body aches after a long binge, yet pick up the bottle the very next day. We say "never again" when our belly is extended from gluttony, yet prepare double the food we need. We say "never again" when we see children starving, while we eat the meal. We say "never again" when we wake next naked next to a stranger, knowing the cold comfort in anonymous pairings. We say "never again" when we see the poor robbed of their few belongings, yet another generation of thieves are always there. We say "never again" when we see the enslaved free, but millions return to indenture. We say "never again" when we see the corpses of the latest massacre, yet the zealots and jealous  who wish domination will not be swayed.    Never again should we speak it. The words prove how utterly fl...

Dubai shone like a mirage.   Something in the air brought on from the heat waves from the sand below.   It is a magical city that is as wicked as Gomorrah.   To the Zealot, it represented everything evil in the modern world.   The buildings and towers rise toward the sky like so many steel penises looking for whores to service them.   And the infidels stream in and out like so many worker bees, moving dollars, yen, for the Zionists. This newest one.   Dubai Tower.   The local media celebrates its entry in the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest occupied building.   It is finished, but not.   Only the bottom 20 or so floors are being used and everything else is for show.   It reminds him the story of the tower to heaven he read in the Jews’ scripture.   The man had traveled much from his home in the Saudi desert and was considered wise in his homeland.   He had been to Evil Zion, Evil US and Evil Deutschla...
