Ode to a Distant God Oh muse, may I ask you To sing of lamentations, And the aching of my heart, Of wrath ‘tis red and burning, And black hatred without start. Whisper solemn moments Tender love I know in passing, All sweet rhythms, chords, and bars, Of a God who’s cold and distant, The very night between the stars. Is it distance that I Must mutter towards this night? Emptiness I hear aloud, When it is His name I hear them shout; For me neither flame nor cloud. On this path I walk along I started hurting long ago, Resentful I curse His name, With black bile born of suffering, Yet I love Him all the same. His hand I know is there For the moment that I fall. Is my home amongst the mud? Alone I would drown in darkness, Yet for me He spilt his blood. Vile man I know I am To hate my exalted maker, But when I gaze into a mirror, Eyes open a window to my heart, It is my soul I view in terror. Why God must loneliness Torture me every hour? I thought if I spoke aloud… No, somewhere I mastered this gift, To feel alone amongst the crowd. I fear no one will miss My life upon curtain call. Sadness will run its dreary course, But is there a single life I touched, That will hurt with true remorse? God will you take me home As broken as I am? Please, I promise I won’t tell, If you’ve set aside a corner in Heaven, Because my mind entreats in Hell. My God, all I wanted, All I wanted was a love, To share without added tears, To grant a bliss and joy and peace, For those I hold most dear. I despair to ever feel Those happy blessing for myself, A soul that drips with caustic hate, No recourse alone to make, I have fully earned my fate. So on my lips I cry Oh God, my God, my Father! Once more into blackest inky night, I continue on this lonely march, Once more searching for Your light.

@WorldByWolf @Sargon_of_Akkad He is repeatably on record saying he thinks the government should nationalize certain industries that form natural monopolies (rail, utilities) or are critical to national defense (steel). Hardly Thatcherite.

@Sargon_of_Akkad In what sense aren’t you a Thatcherite? And what instead would you describe your economics as being?

I'm not a thatcherite.

@Anglophile0011 @iohn_smith @Sargon_of_Akkad He's basically said he is in favor of nationalizing any industry that results in a natural monopoly.

@iohn_smith @Sargon_of_Akkad I'm not sure that's true. Carl has said before he's been open to nationalising a fair few industries, definitely Steel and rail. Possibly water too but I can't remember

@CommanderDalton @Sargon_of_Akkad The dude literally has an entire media company devoted to saying valuable things. Maybe go check it out.

@Sargon_of_Akkad Then what are you? Rather than performing superiority like it’s a substitute for substance try saying something valuable.

@kenzietuff The response:

I will be video responding to the TWENTY-SIX MINUTE video essay made about me.

I heard they are calling me “one of the most shockingly racist women [they] have ever seen on the Internet.”

@OrdotsarIC Insane.

this recent drama could have all been avoided if we just followed this advice from "The Arena"

@tardwife4life @SimonSchfe45703 Is an "unnatural position" literally anything other than missionary? I always though the whole "only missionary for the sole purpose of reproduction" thing was only a joke, but maybe I was wrong.

@SimonSchfe45703 This may be a joke but there really are Catholics who say kissing your wife is forbidden

No, you cant kiss your wife.

@KhusrauParviz @tardwife4life @SimonSchfe45703 Well Song of Songs is clearly JUST A METAPHOR. CLEARLY!

@tardwife4life @SimonSchfe45703 Funny how they write this when both kinds of oral sex are in song of songs.

@kenzietuff Based foid.

Ah yes, please consult the flowchart ⬇️

@notmirealnam456 @kingofthehood89 The video is literally titled "no, you can't kiss your girlfriend."

@kingofthehood89 I dont remember him making a "just dont do it" judgment statement. He critiques a video made by institute of the body in many ways but primarily in their style of discussing the topic. How they ignore some authoritative sources in their reasoning, then he quotes the sources.

Oh brother what are we even doing here

@RightTrackGB Why are you lying?

🚨 NEW: Restore Britain insiders are reporting that campaign events in Markerfield are being cancelled due to lack of interest from members and supporters. A member of the leadership team said: ‘It’s the candidate and the strategy. She was a mistake and we’re just not ready.’

@ItsMrsRabbitToU Lol that does not mean what you think it means.

Well now. Isn’t this interesting. So much for the patriarchy.

@the_culturist_ Money laundering.

Pollock's "Number 7A, 1948" just sold at auction for a record $181 million. Explain what this painting means and why it is good.

@guard_s28571 @DChadwickAuthor Category error, that is the type of Christian like Catholic or Baptist.

@ISOPrometheus @DChadwickAuthor Mormonite was the appropriate term back then.

Are Mormons Christians?

@cremieuxrecueil Completely irrelevant.

Little-noted good news: Ukraine is finally regaining ground.

@thinkingwest This is why Warhammer 40k has such a big following among men, it is a hypothetical world where the shackles are off and man is allowed to be bold again impress his will upon the world.

@O2_Addict_ @tardwife4life She is throttled by the algorithm. You can't even search for her profile unless you turn off the filters.

@tardwife4life I'm upset that such a high signal post only has 9 likes

Lost in the deluge of fertility discourse is the simple fact that the default state of the female is resistance. Because she is burdened with the costly large gamete, the female has no sense of duty towards reproduction and instead has the opposite: a steadfast obstinacy against it. There are no charts and graphs that will inspire surrender. The difficult task of drawing fertility from the stubborn female is a primordial struggle waged not on the mind or heart but the amygdala. But the male weapons which were developed for this millennia-old war are in a sorry state. In our enlightenment, we sought to bring equality between the sexes, and this required costly engineering. The social contract was rewritten and the legal codes reformed. Now, the male goes out in search of a mate without his weapons of war. His plumage has been plucked, his talons clipped, and his fangs dulled. And what of the female? Not only is she as obstinate as ever, but she has the surgeon's hooks trained at her womb and the State's army aimed at her would-be suitor. The price of equality will be extinction and no number of charts and graphs will change this.

@KazzJenkins Just re-read your first sentence.

About 15 years ago, a Somalian family moved into my neighbourhood. They had nothing. Within days, their house was pretty much fully furnished with each of us giving what we could. My neighbourhood just went Reform. What happened?

@El_King888 @Yoda4ever It's better for the tiger.

@Yoda4ever Weekly live feed? Where the hell was this? In San Francisco, even when I was a kid, they would give them raw meat. That’s disgusting.

In 2015, a goat was thrown into a tiger’s enclosure as his weekly live feed only to become his friend..🐅🐾🐐🥺❤️
