stars still
but the day unveils williows
shows orchids in dew
little mountain
laughs at the towering peaks
a new song?
this one for dawn
my companion already has words
now that i can see the strings
i cannot find the chords.
yeah , well that does it for me I'm not into mental masturbation.

For years an old college english lit book served as a trusty doorstop and cure for insomnia.
That was until (can you believe it) someone was stupid enough to steal it from a mini-warehouse when I was traveling?

And a you this a say a royal and elite? I think phoenix and a pspr a from America. And only this be a royal if they live England? And a lucrum a smart. He has a common a sense, and a you none common a sense.
We only have a this a small vision when a we look a for a love in all the wrong places.
Man has to make a this a squinty eye so a he can a get up a close and a personal with a woman's vergeen.I did not read the whole thread, I would say about 10%. All of you who decided or considered cutting relationships with spouses and mothers over their voting choice, should probably try to look for professional help. Otherwise your lives will be utter misery with each passing year.
The rest of us will move on and enjoy our lives.
You have no idea what it means to leave in repressive regime and having no rights. Out country is truly one of the best place to live on the planet.
P.S. Best of luck to all and try to look at things with "glass is have full" mentality.

Phoenix . . . pay close attention to what this fine young man is saying.
I should probably apologize for writing so much off-topic stuff in TT's thread here too.
The original post struck a nerve and had some powerful ideas in it.
By the time a thread has devolved to the point of aliases conversing with each other and bad poetry it is time to abandon ship. I can understand your sentiment PT.
You seem to harbour an illusion that you are a moral person, trying to do the right thing in a world that rewards selfishness and venality. But you betray your true motives - you are not, or were not, trying to do the right thing for the sake of virtue; you were doing it in the hope of achieving various rewards that would satisfy your ego. E.g. success, making the world a better place, and so on. Now those rewards seem to you (probably incorrectly IMO - you really think the voting populace have ever been some kind of enlightened philosopher-citizens?) to have disappeared, you lose interest in 'doing good'.
If you were in a concentration camp in 1944, or some other truly dire situation, then I could empathise with your weakness. But the reality is that you are one of the most privileged and spoiled human beings in the history of the cosmos, by virtue of being a 1st world citizen with (presumably) gainful employment, full mental faculties, and no serious health issues.
It is therefore clear that your self-professed virtue was not done for virtuous reasons at all, but was just done to satisfy your own selfish desires - to see the world become how you want it to become. True virtue is not done for consequences, it is done out of duty, for its own sake. A truly virtuous action is heroic precisely because it remains so even in ignominious failure - the effort and intention itself is what gives it merit.
I suggest you do an honest reassessment of your own life and value system. If you truly want to be 'good', then it doesn't matter a damn if one navy-suited politician has limited power for 4 years instead of another, especially in the USA where separation of powers is stronger than almost any other country except Switzerland. What matters is that you are committed to furthering your honest, unselfish perception of the greater good, and gain honour and glory by pursuing it to the best of your ability. Anything else is just selfish reactionary old-fart bullshit.
Don't become one of those pathetic ranting old gits, forever moaning about how the world has gone to hell. We see them in every generation, and they are wrong every time. You are in danger of becoming the modern-day equivalent of 1860s former plantation owners nostalgic about the passing of slavery.
Nothing is more laughable than a privileged person whining about how hard they have it. Try being a 3rd world citizen, hard-working but fucked over by the corrupt and powerful, or stuffed due to being born in hard circumstances not of your own making. Then you wouldn't whine like a bitch about such trivialities as not always having the world turn out like you want.
Get a grip and harden the fuck up.
