This is the only poem that can fit the devastation and fearful consequences of today.
The Second Coming - WB Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
When you do what you always did - you get what you always got.
ReplyDeleteAnd its by that twee greeting-ca rd logic a vile President of the United States was voted in?!? Pah! What jaw dropping naivety.
ReplyDeleteI’m a 22-year-old from Texas who got my first credit card at 18. By 19 I had moved out on my own, couldn’t keep up with the payments, and maxed it out. My score dropped from the mid-600s into the low 500s. I was stuck with roughly $2,000–$3,000 in debt (most of it already in collections), couldn’t get approved for anything loans, Afterpay, nothing and felt completely trapped by my own spending habits. I contacted Five Star Credit Specialist a few weeks ago after someone recommended them. They were professional, clear about the process, and got to work right away. In a short time, they deleted every negative item from my credit reports and raised my scores across all three bureaus Experian: 815, TransUnion: 822, Equifax: 818. Because of their work I was just approved for my first home in West Virginia, a $115k house at 6.2%. I went from feeling like I’d never have real credit again to closing on a house. If you’re in a similar spot, low score, collections, and tired of being turned down for everything. I highly recommend reaching out to Five Star Credit Specialists. They delivered exactly what they said they would and gave me my financial freedom back. Kindly hit them up by email: fivestarcreditspecialist@gmail.com
