THE LOVE THAT DARE NOT
BREATHE ITS NAME
you can beat up
your children
boil up the cat
cheat on your taxes
we don't care
about that
you can steal
from the poor
cheat on your spouse
be an all-round shit
an unbearable louse
but whatever you do
be sure not to screw
someone the same
gender as you...
oh no!
that just won't do!
goodness, no!
the dirt
the hurt
the slur
the unbearable stain
on the family name!
yep, don't you dare
to insinuate
the love that dare
not breathe its name
exists out of those
magazines and blogs
and reality shows
with people with fake tits
and pink plastic clogs
lets not forget
our etiquette
stand up straight
bow from the waist
and lie till you die
about anything
you like
but don't ever
admit grandma
was a dike...

FEEBLE FREAKS FLIP A SWITCH
The difference between a military victory and a moral victory is usually the body count. Generally speaking, people who are right dont reach for a gun: those who dont have a leg to stand on ALWAYS reach for a club or a rifle as a crutch...
Unfortunately the latest fashion for the cowardly as well as morally challenged seems to be a bomb.

CATCHING THE MOON
PLAYING THE FOOL
there is a bucket
with a hole in it
the shape and size
of the moon
i fished for that moon
in the well
and lost
my one hope
there is a heart
with a hole in it
whole and broke
and blood and stone
there is a hole
and the light
of the moon
bleeds out
there is a pin-hole
and the bucket drips
drips the last drop
no hope.

Tigger and Thoreau: Same-same...
ME: "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too". That's the philosophy book for me. Just because something is simple doesn't make it's simplistic.
IVAN: Simplicity, magnanimity and trust: Thoreau.
ME: Too intellectual for me, this guy. I dig Tigger
IVAN: Which guy?
ME: Thoreau.
IVAN: No he ain't!
ME: Ye he is! Is he orange and does he bounce on his tushie???
IVAN: He is a tiger in man-clothes!
ME: So....Thoreau is really Tigger in disguise?
IVAN: Yep
ME: Never read Thoreau. Tell me about him.
IVAN: Ah! Thoreau! He was a sensualist and an observer deluxe, and his language is poetic. He wrote for himself.
ME: I like him already.
IVAN: Yep, you gonna love him. Very practical guy, he could see, he was awake.
ME: Was he happy?
IVAN: Well, he was a cohort of Emerson's. Lived in Emerson's garden.
ME: Those da dudes that waffled on about autumn leaves and boinked women with long flowing tresses from them Pre-Raphaelite paintings?
IVAN: Yep.
ME: Them were happy dudes, then. That was before it was fashionable to be artistically tortured by genius and commit suicide by booze and drugs.
IVAN: Absolutely.
ME: Cool! So, Tigger and Thoreau...Same-same...Fancy that!

THIS IS WHERE 90% OF YOU UNFRIEND ME!
There is a hysterical Protect the Fluffy Animals fanaticism that absolutely drives me WILD.
NATURE IS GOOD AND PURE, HUMANS ARE BAD AND EVIL!
HUMANS ARE THE BANE OF THE EARTH!
WE SHOULD BE PUNISHED AND DESTROYED!
Frankly this kind of anti-human chauvinistic selective blindness makes me nauseous. Mankind has been an influence on their biosphere for less than 10.000 years and has had a palpable impact for less than 200.
Millions of species have gone extinct in the past 500 million years and many more will do so in the next - WITH NO HELP FROM US!
As far as I can ascertain we are probably the only species who actually gives a flying fuck about ANY OTHER SPECIES.
YES we have an impact. Is it evil? NO. It is called natural development of a predatory species to fill all available spaces in an ecosystem.
Everyone's current pet-hate (which is what set off this little rant of mine) the poachers are doing what is perfectly logical for a predator in the Natural world: hunting to provide for their young.
Do I condone what poachers do? Not at all, I agree that we should protect species, but that is in fact an unnatural situation stemming from human self-awareness and a sense of compassion for the less resilient.
In truth we are favouring the continuation of species that has been unable to adapt to a change in conditions. Human influence on the Earth is no different from an Ice-Age, and animals that cannot adapt to adversity die. That's how Life with a BIG L works.
Place things in perspective please. This kind of unthinking knee-jerk, bleeding-heart attitude is complete irrational.
And please stop saying that "animals are pure and sensitive and naturally loving; humans are evil"
Have you ever seen the images of an orca pack hunting down a gray whale mother and baby?
The Orca will drive the mother off and drown the baby and eat only the tongue. They spend hours on it. There are easier and faster ways to get their protein, yet they invest energy and time in this.
The body of the baby whale is discarded, you understand. They eat only the tongue. As a delicacy or a trophy, take your pick.
Want to start shooting Orcas on sight as cruel and mindless poachers, predating on an endangered species?
And never tell me again that humans are "abomination". Look around you.
Our society is filled with people who would not be equipped to survive in a "natural environment". Their continued existence is due to human compassion and selflessness. We defend our weak. Animals bend to the Natural law of the "survival of the fittest".
In Nature, amongst the "sensitive and loving" animals sick or disabled people would be abandoned or become early victims for predators. Protected animal species still exist because of Man. If Humans are evil monsters "abominations in the sight of God" (I quote directly!) NONE of them would even be thought about let alone protected.
I have a child, and I work with children. I am privileged to be in daily contact with the very best of Humanity. As a Human, I am a top-end predator with progeny to protect. I tell you frankly, between the continuation of another species and the survival of a single human child, I pick the child.
By the way! I also eat meat with great gusto AND I own a vintage Mink from the 50's I inherited.
I would not go out and buy one now - but I wear the one I own.
I will not apologise for myself, my nature or my instincts.
If you don’t like it, sod off and unfriend me.
P.S.: If you are a Sensitive Bleeding Heart outraged by my post I must warn you that as an expression of my insufferable Human self-centered shitty "the world-is-mine-attitude" and natural intrinsic hard-hearted bitchiness, any remarks I don't like will be removed.
